Oakland Mills fosters a strong community by celebrating its diversity. One of Columbia’s oldest villages, its proximity to Downtown Columbia and tight-knit school communities are a draw for people who want a small-town feel within the city. Residents love to visit the Oakland Mills Village Center, Blandair Park, and the Oakland Mills Sunday Farmers Markets. Village-sponsored events include the “Jazz in the Mills” concert series, “Lively Arts for Little Ones” productions, the Annual Fall Festival, and year-round activities at the Teen Center and Columbia Ice Rink.
In three words: inclusive, welcoming, resilient.
