Deer Island
Waterfront living on the edge of West Orange
Deer Island sits within the town of Oakland, a quiet corner of western Orange County where lakefront lots and mature trees define the pace of life. The surrounding Oakland homes for sale trade on a rhythm all their own, with established pockets like Johns Cove and Johns Landing drawing buyers who want space and water without leaving the West Orange corridor. Newer additions such as Trailside Station and Oakland Pointe round out the area's mix.
For a buyer today, the story here is scarcity: there are currently zero active listings in Deer Island, so inventory moves quietly and often before it hits the open market.

If this is your target, watch the live map closely and be ready to move when something surfaces.
