Moving to Oakville? Compelling Reason #1 - Oakville is The Riviera of Ontario!
September 14th, 2007 Categories: South East Oakville, Why Move to Oakville?
Oakville is a vibrant and prosperous municipality within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The GTA is Canada’s largest metropolitan area with a total population of about 5.3 million.
Some 150,000 people call Oakville home. Sometimes given the moniker “The Riviera of Ontario”, Oakville boasts a picturesque lakefront with two marinas. Nestled along the shoreline of Lake Ontario are many luxurious waterfront properties, many with riparian rights, that have been the dwelling-place of choice of prosperous Canadians for many years.
Here’s a photo of Oakville Harbor where Sixteen Mile Creek flows into Lake Ontario.
I am biased, but not alone, in calling Oakville “the most beautiful town in Ontario”. Not unlike the town of Carmel in California, affluence, aesthetics, sophistication and small town friendliness combine to create a unique and desirable community.

We receive a lot of tourists each year, 1.4 million visitors annually and $81.5 million is generated for our local economy through tourism. See www.oakvilletoursim.ca. for more about visiting Oakville.
Like what you hear and see so far? How about giving me a call to give you a real live tour of Oakville neighbourhoods and perhaps see a few Oakville homes for sale?
