FORD

Welcome to Ford

Where traditional charm meets top-rated schools and everyday convenience.

Located in the southeastern corner of Oakville, Ford is a well-established, family-friendly neighborhood defined by tree-lined streets, spacious homes, and an undeniable sense of community. Blending suburban calm with exceptional connectivity, Ford appeals to those seeking both tranquility and accessibility. This is where timeless design meets modern upgrades, with many homes undergoing stylish renovations. The neighborhood’s close proximity to Lake Ontario, excellent schools, and commuter routes makes it a highly desirable location for families, professionals, and long-term residents alike.

The Real Estate Market

Ford is a mature neighborhood characterized by traditional two-storey homes, split-level designs, and classic bungalows. Over the years, many properties have been tastefully updated or entirely rebuilt, creating a diverse and elegant streetscape. Larger lot sizes and mature landscaping offer privacy and space rarely found in newer subdivisions. Ford strikes a balance between value and prestige—offering a quieter setting than some lakefront enclaves while still providing easy access to Oakville’s best amenities. Custom builds are on the rise, as the area continues to attract discerning buyers looking to blend legacy with luxury.
