About our Town
Oakville...
A very special kind of town
…and lifestyle.
It’s undoubtedly the prettiest lakefront town between Toronto and Niagara on the lake! With a strong sense of community, it’s quaint and charming and steeped in history.
It’s nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario and two rivers run through it. Oakville also boasts two beautiful harbours. The town originally developed around a bustling harbour and the fertile mouth of Sixteen Mile Creek- apple orchards grew on the river banks....
..today both harbours are filled with pleasure boats. There are also many acres of beautiful parkland and walking trails to enjoy. The downtown and Bronte offer elegant boutiques and specialty stores, fine dining and friendly coffee shops.
One of the first things visitors notice is that Oakville is aptly named- abundant old oak trees are particularly tall and magestic!
Because of it's naturally beautiful setting and easy commute to downtown Toronto, Oakville caught the eye of the 'Foofs', the 'fine old Ontario families' many years back , who settled along the shores of the lake in East and ‘Old’ Oakville. The stately old mansions along Lakeshore tell the story.
It’s still one of the best kept secrets in southern Ontario, offering it’s residents a very special and unique lifestyle-we do believe our grass grows greener in Oakville!
