Oakley's roots are in agriculture and that's where it remains. Farming still makes up a huge part of the town's economy, as does fishing and boating due to its location on the California Delta. With a pedigree like this, you can probably expect that Oakley's key appeal is its land. Vineyards are among the most lucrative fields in Oakley with many of the grapes going to nearby wineries. House and condominium prices are moderate to expensive, and Oakley is expected to experience full scale growth over the next few decades due to the prime land and proximity to San Francisco.
