History
The site of the original town, inland of Hiway 20, was subdivided by the 1920s. Situated in a broad canyon mouth, the original townsite is about 4 blocks long and three deep, triangular in shape, with a plaza site in its center. Today the plaza is paved and used for parking by the church located along the west side. Most of the homes in the village remain true to their "fishing cottage" roots.
Later additions include hundreds of small lots along narrow roads running along the contours of the hills above town. Though the oldest home may be the 1930s rock house on Lakeview, most date from the 1960s and include popular second home styles, such as A-frames. Many homes have outstanding views to Clearlake.
The next addition was across the Hiway. The Keys, a neighborhood dredged from the marshes, provides a dock immediately behind almost every lot. This neighborhood exibits a variety of two to five bedroom homes in late-mid-century Bay Region styles.
The relocation of the Post Office, the aging population, and the coming of Wal-Mart have conspired to kill the "downtown". Fifteen years ago, there were two markets, a chain hardware store, two gas stations, video store, salon, and several restaurants and bars. A privately operated marina had fish and ski boats for rent. But by the late nineties, Clearlke Oaks was down to one market, one convenience store, and a struggling antique store.
The park, beach, and pier were refurbished a few years back. Recently, a winetasting room has opened and live music can be again be heard at The Barn. There is hope that something may be yet built at the sites of The Timbers or Sal's Market.
