Neighbourhood Watch - Oakville Ontario - Old Oakville

When you mention the words Old Oakville, it conjures up thoughts of heritage homes,  a vibrant downtown core, rich history, Lake Ontario and the 16 Mile Creek and harbour.  This area closest to the downtown boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops is one of the most sought after for high end real estate.  Oakville condos, downtown Oakville condos, Oakville towne Square, Lakeshore Road Oakville, Downtown Oakville real estate, Jenny Kotulak

Stately homes on large lots are mixed with small quaint cottage style homes.  Luxury townhomes are popping up as infill projects.  You pay the price to walk to town and the lake.  This is not a haven for starter homes, however small some homes may be.

Old Oakville, or Olde Oakville as it is often called boasts mature tree lined streets with names like Pine, Maple, Spruce, and Douglas.  Builders have been buying up properties in this area and constructing what are often referred to in Oakville as "monster homes". 

Homes south of Lakeshore Road and steps to Lake Ontario ooze character.  Boatowners can park their boats in slips on the 16 Mile Creek or enjoy a variety of different boat clubs.  The Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts entertains locals and visitors alike. 

There is a selection of condos to choose from in Old Oakville.  Some overlook Towne Square, a popular gathering spot for many downtown activities throughout the year.  A couple of other upscale condo buildings overlook Lake Ontario and the 16 Mile Creek.

George's Square is another popular park in the middle of town with beautiful homes surrounding it.  This desirable area offers homes for sale starting in the $600,000 + range up to $2,000,000.

Jenny,

I have never been to your Oakville, but with time I learn more and more about it, and I like it. Beginning with your mayor (remember that nice video?)

Hi Jenny - I just got back from Mississauga 45 minutes ago.  Downtown Oakville would have been a great place to take an early morning walk except for the minor fact that it was still raining away.  Are you up around 4:30 am or so for visits?  The highways are nice and relatively empty at that time of the morning, especially the 407.

Jenny, what a great job you did with this post.  Old Oakville reminds me of Lincoln Park in Chicago.  High end condos and homes along the Lake Michigan.  Too rich for my blood, but I can dream.

Great Localism post Jenny.  I haven't been to Oakville but I have been to Orangeville.  My sister used to live there but she now lives in Erin so we have been there as well.  Nice job on your localism posts!  Thanks again for the reblog too!!!
