SOUTH WEST OAKVILLE

Welcome to South West Oakville

Generous lots. Quiet charm. Lakeside proximity.

Nestled just north of Lake Ontario, South West Oakville is a peaceful residential pocket known for its spacious properties, mature tree canopy, and welcoming streets. Originally developed in the 1960s and 70s, the neighborhood has undergone a stylish transformation — where original bungalows and split-level homes are giving way to grand custom builds.

The area’s timeless appeal lies in its balance between tranquility and convenience, offering residents a calm lakeside lifestyle while remaining close to everything Oakville has to offer.
