Willowbrooke Development

About Willowbrooke

 Willowbrooke is a new 208-acre mixed residential development located in Oakdale north of 34th Street North, between Interstate 694 and Ideal Avenue. The neighborhood is expected to bring more than 1,000 housing units to Oakdale. Nearly 80 percent of the development is under construction or complete, and the neighborhood’s first residents began moving in during the fall of 2022.

This unique neighborhood features an abundance of open space and a comprehensive pedestrian network that will provide trail or sidewalk access to all homes. The Willowbrooke neighborhood will also feature three City parks.
