Oakville, Ontario
Old Oakville
Historic charm meets lakefront luxury
Overview
Old Oakville is the historic downtown core of the town, anchored by a picturesque harbour, mature tree-lined streets, and some of the most expensive real estate in the GTA. You can walk from Lakeshore Road down to the water and feel like you're in a New England seaside village.
The housing mix runs from restored 1880s Victorians through mid-century bungalows on Chartwell and Maple Grove, to brand-new custom builds on oversized lots. Average detached prices regularly cross $3M, though smaller bungalows and townhomes can still be found for under $1.5M.
