Houses on Oak Avenue are three to five bedrooms and two bathrooms, all generally well-maintained. Most are two-story, though a few bungalows are scattered among the houses here. Most are older homes, built anywhere from the early 1900s up through the mid-1960s, though quite a few have been remodeled both outside and inside over the years. Hardwood floors are common inside, and vinyl siding is the most common exterior element, typically in subdued shades that blend nicely into the neighborhood. Detached garages are common, along with small attics and basements.
