About City

Oakville is the jewel of Halton Region — a lakeside town of 240,000 that has built a reputation as one of the most desirable places to live in the entire country. Its combination of top-ranked schools (including some of Ontario's highest-performing secondary schools), over 1,400 hectares of parkland, a stunning waterfront, and three distinct Business Improvement Areas — Downtown Oakville, Kerr Village, and Bronte Village — creates a quality of life that justifies its premium market position. The historic Old Oakville harbour, Sixteen Mile Creek ravine system, and Bronte Harbour give the town a natural beauty unmatched in the GTA. For buyers, Oakville represents a long-term hold: a community that has delivered consistent appreciation underpinned by scarcity of land, outstanding schools, and the deepest demand pool of any suburban market in Ontario.
