Mission Creek Village Condos vs. Oak Creek Villas (Santa Maria CA & Orcutt CA Condos)

Oak Creek Villas

Oak Creek Villas

The Mission Creek Condos and Oak Creek Villas were built by local builder, Inland Pacific, who is also currently finishing up Pacific Crest in Westgate Ranch. Oak Creek and Mission Creek offer the same basic floor plans and amenities; however, there are subtle differences for buyers to consider. Oak Creek Villas condos are slightly older; they were built beginning around 2001. Mission Creek condos are slightly newer as building began around 2004. Both offer two floor plans: a 2 bedroom/2 bath unit and 3 bedroom/2 bath plan, each with room for a stackable washer dryer. The square footage of the 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom units are essentially the same, somewhere between 1100 – 1200. However, the 2 bedroom unit has a larger living space than the 3 bedroom plan. Downstairs units have patios, and upstairs units have balconies, each with an extra outside storage closet. Both condo developments offer a pool, and a community clubhouse. Oak Creek also features a tot lot.

Mission Creek Village and Oak Creek Cillas are located on the south end of Santa Maria. However, for those who want to get out and walk to restaurants and shops, the Oak Creek condos, which sit on McCoy (directly across from Arborwalk), may be preferable. Another important distinction is that the Mission Creek condos previously sat on the dividing line of the Orcutt school district. (Buyers are advised to consult with the local school district offices to determine current boundary lines for school district attendance.) There is also a slight difference in the monthly dues of each development. Oak Creek charges about $180 per month, and Mission Creek’s monthly dues are about $150. Asking prices currently range between $169,900 and $199,900 in these communities. Recent sales include a 3/2 unit in Oak Creek which sold for $168,000, and a 2/2 unit in Mission Creek which sold for $175,000.

  1. Ms. Leblanc,

    Thank you for your very informative blog. I have been searching online for housing near VAFB but it is very hard. I would be very interested to rent a 2B condo at Oak Creek condos. I’m not sure if you only handle sales, but if there’s any way you can help me or any advice you can give, I would greatly appreciate it.
