Most of the structures in this area did not exist until after WWII, except for the Langara Golf Course (which was built in 1926), and some boarding schools and hospitals. It was one of the last areas left in its original state before being available for development. In 1959, many family homes were build, which then brought about the construction of the Oakridge Shopping Centre. The shopping centre brought with it a boom in home construction, and thus became the epicentre of residential growth. 

Because it is relatively new, Oakridge is still one of the least historical districts in the city. Its main architectural style are bungalow style houses from the 1950s and 1960s. These bungalows have been renovated or demolished in recent years to make way for multi-story residences in their ample city lots. There are also many multilevel, multifamily housing options available as well. Because Oakridge has a growing senior population, there are also several assisted-living facilities within its borders. 

In spite of its small size, there are many green spaces in Oakridge. The Langara Golf Couse offers, beside the golf course, jogging, dog-walking, and walking trails. Besides the Golf Course area, there are other green spaces areas in the form of two parks: Columbia Park and Tisdall Park. Close by, the YMCA and the Community Centre are also included the large quantity of available recreational facilities.
