OAKVILLE

Welcome to Old Oakville

Where timeless elegance meets lakefront charm.

Steeped in history and brimming with sophistication, Old Oakville offers a rare blend of heritage architecture, tree-lined streets, and walkable waterfront living. Just steps from downtown, this neighborhood feels like a world apart — refined, peaceful, and deeply rooted in community tradition.

The Real Estate Market

From century homes with preserved facades to custom-built estates tucked behind wrought-iron gates, Old Oakville’s housing landscape is as exclusive as it is diverse. Eastlake, a coveted pocket just east of the core, is known for its grand residences, top-tier schools like Maple Grove and Oakville Trafalgar, and serene, family-oriented atmosphere.

Clearview provides a more contemporary counterpart — a neighborhood of cul-de-sacs, functional modern homes, and effortless access to the QEW and 403. It’s the choice for buyers who value both convenience and community.

Old Oakville homes are a strong investment, but they’re also an invitation — to join a lifestyle steeped in history, elegance, and lakeside tranquility.
