Ford
Ford, located in the southeast corner of Oakville, Ontario, is a secluded and upscale family neighbourhood with a distinct blend of traditional homes and new constructions. Developed primarily from the 1960s to the 1980s, the southern section features spacious two-storey, bungalow, and split-level homes on large lots, with some properties replaced by contemporary infill homes. The northern portion offers more moderately priced housing, while lakefront estates in the community showcase grandeur and luxury.
Ford is renowned for its commitment to education, with a top-ranked school catchment, including the prestigious Oakville Trafalgar High School. Commuters benefit from proximity to the QEW, ensuring quick access to downtown Toronto, and residents enjoy the convenience of Maple Grove Village Shopping Centre, providing essential amenities and services.
The neighbourhood boasts abundant green spaces, parks, and quick access to Lake Ontario, offering ample leisure and fitness activities for families. The Maple Grove Arena serves as a hub for public skating and hockey, adding to the community's recreational appeal.
Ford's historical significance is tied to the 1951 purchase of 1000 acres of land by the Ford Motor Company, with the assembly plant opening in 1953. Today, the neighbourhood reflects a mix of modern amenities, social activities, and family living, providing a tranquil yet connected lifestyle.
