Neighbourhood Watch - Coronation Park - Oakville Real Estate

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Real Estate Centre Inc., Brokerage

When someone mentions the words Coronation Park in Oakville they are talking about one of two things.  The park itself, located on Lakeshore Road along the shores of Lake Ontario in the western part of Oakville; or the community that surrounds the park.  Coronation Park, Oakville real estate,Jenny Kotulak

Homes in the area that surrounds this popular park are situated on large, mature treed properties.  Most of the homes in the area were built in the 1960's and 1970's.  The majority of the homes were built of brick and consist mostly of bungalows, split-levels and two storey designs.

Being within walking distance of the lake has always made this part of Oakville highly desirable.  Most of the properties boast quarter acre lots.  Of course because the area is highly sought after by builders, many of the original homes have been demolished and replaced by large stone and stucco estate homes.

Local schools have been in place for many years and there is an abundance of other parks and forested areas.  Shopping is very conveniently located at nearby Hopedale Mall and historic Bronte with its boutiques and lakeside restaurants. 

Coronation Park itself has become famous for the annual New Years Day Polar Bear Dip which sees hundreds of brave souls taking a dip in frigid Lake Ontario to raise money for charity.  For many years Coronation Park was home to the annual Waterfront Festival.  Due to economics, the festival will not be held this year.

During the summer months, the bandshell at Coronation Park hosts weekly concerts.  The Town Of Oakville is currently replacing the washroom facilities in the park and adding a concession stand and patio area overlooking the children's playground. 

This is a favourite picnic spot for families and school groups.  It's a great place to relax,  watch the waves, and the wildlife and birds.   Coronation Park, Oakville real estate,Jenny Kotulak

Homes in Coronation Park tend to sell quickly.   It is possible to purchase a home in original condition for around $600,000 but renovated and new builds can  sell for well over $1,000,000.

Jenny,

I am getting cold by looking at winter photos. And I imagine you, guys, this year, where you had more winter than you would expect

Hi Jenny, Looks good. I've been by that area, but only on the 401.

Jenny as with the other posts, you have put up a great description of a very nice place to live. Walks along the lake must be interesting with an occasional look at a cargo ship or two.

The builders are trying to snap up areas and build their mini mansions aren't they Jenny and the Coronation Park area sounds prime.  The park looks like a place to meet Jenny, especially with these fabulous temperatures and days we're getting, we'll bring the coffee !

Jenny,

This is one of the nicest communities around. I once had a property on Birch Hill Lane which was just east of there.

Hi Jenny - You wrote "It's a great place to relax, watch the waves, and the wildlife and birds."

I know where I'll find you this summer when you are watching the waves - at the bench in the photograph.  You can relax on this bench and watch Lola run around.

Oh what memories you've provoked!  I grew up in that area and have so many stories about Coronation Park - especially during the high school years.  When my folks bought back in the early 60's, I think they paid around $15,000 for a bungalow on a sprawling large property.  My how things have changed and how they will in the next 50 years too.
