Welcome to South West Oakville
Just north of Lake Ontario, South West Oakville is a peaceful residential pocket known for its spacious properties, mature tree canopy and welcoming streets.
First developed in the 1960s and 70s, it has undergone a stylish transformation, with original bungalows and split-levels giving way to grand custom builds. Its appeal is the balance: a calm lakeside life, close to everything Oakville has to offer.
