SOUTH WEST OAKVILLE
Welcome to West Oakville
West Oakville is a mature residential neighborhood, offering generous lot sizes, quiet tree-lined streets, and an evolving real estate landscape. Originally developed between the 1940s and 1960s, the area was filled with cozy bungalows and side-splits — many of which are now being replaced by custom-built homes as families and investors recognize the potential of this central Oakville enclave.
Perfectly positioned between Bronte Village and Kerr Village, West Oakville combines the comforts of suburbia with access to modern amenities, making it a top choice for both growing families and right-sizers.
The Real Estate Market
A neighborhood in transition, West Oakville is witnessing a surge of new construction. With many original homes now being replaced or renovated, this area is a prime location for those looking to build custom or invest in long-term property value.
Its appeal lies in the spacious lots, mature trees, and proximity to the lake and QEW — a rare trifecta in south Oakville.
