Cox Ln, Oakley

Cox Lane is a short residential street in Oakley located off Edwards Road. The Malton Gallery, an art gallery, sits at the end on Edwards. Beyond that houses run only on one side of the street while trees and shrubbery line the other side of Cox. Most of the homes on Cox are single-family and were built in the early 20th century. They are cute little wood frame homes with porches and run around the $125K price range.

Cox Lane is located right across from the Rookwood Commons/Rookwood Pavilion shopping development, so is conveniently located to all kinds of restaurants and shops. There are several nearby office building, a gym, a Whole Foods, and right to the left of Cox, at the intersection of Edwards and Madison, are two gas stations, more restaurants, shopping, and businesses. You can easily access I-71 by shooting across Edwards Road onto Edmonson, making Cox a very convenient street for both driving places and walking to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Over the next few years, more will be added across the street opposite the current Rookwod development, at the Rookwood Exchange property. A Marriott Hotel will be the first business open sometime in 2013, but there are plans for more retail, entertainment offices, and more at this location.

While there is a traffic light at the end of Cox, I'm not actually sure if it faces Cox Lane or is only directed towards traffic on Edmonson and Edwards Roads. If that is the case, then I imagine getting into or out of Cox Lane during really busy traffic periods might be a problem (especially considering this area is usually pretty busy with traffic.) I imagine that with the new retail/business development, traffic will only increase. However, Cox Lane might still be a very nice little street to live on due to its lack of traffic, residential nature, and convenient location.
