Top Ten Reasons People Move to South East Oakville
February 18th, 2008 Categories: Halton Real Estate, Historical Oakville, Oakville Real Estate News, South East Oakville
The areas of Old Oakville, Morrison and Ford, are commonly referred to as “South East Oakville”. Our family enjoys living here!
I have compiled a Top Ten List of why so many people choose to move here, from other parts of Oakville, or other towns and also from overseas.
1. It’s a mature neighborhood with many trees and gorgeous leafy streets.
2. Homes have larger lots than the newer areas in Oakville. Most lots offer private back yards as their landscape is mature or they back on to woods or parks.
3. Excellent schools, both public and private in the area. Oakville Trafalgar High School has a long tradition of excellence, with a stellar reputation for academics, sports and music. “OT” is one of the oldest high schools in Ontario, celebrating its 150th anniversary in May 2008. St. Mildred’s-Lightbourn School is a prestigious private school for girls, estabisehd more than 110 years ago.
4. Cachet – Since the inception of Oakville this area has been the most prestigious part of the city to live and, with the exception of a few tony neighborhoods in Toronto, boasts the highest priced homes in Ontario.
5. Close to the lake and the gracious estate homes along Lakeshore Road
6. Close to historic downtown Oakville for fine restaurants, cafes, quaint shops and the many festivals throughout the year.
7. Easy commute for people working in Toronto, 5 minutes drive to Clarkson Go Station. From there, on the express train, takes about 20 minutes to get to Union Station in Toronto.
8. It’s a great investment! Homes here appreciate more quickly than in other areas of Oakville, and will continue to do so. (More on this in another post.)
9. Joshua Creek Heritage Trail and other walking trails provide beautiful forests at your doorstep for jogging or dog-walking.
10. Extensive custom rebuilding and renovating of older homes make this area even more desirable, and creates elegant and attractive streetscapes.
