West Oakville
West Oakville, nestled between Downtown Oakville and Bronte, is a charming neighbourhood with a unique blend of old-world charm and modern appeal. Bordered by the QEW to the north and Rebecca Street to the south, Dorval Drive to the east, and Bronte Road to the west, this community was primarily developed between the 1940s and 1960s.
The neighbourhood is characterized by split-level homes and post-war bungalows, set beneath a canopy of mature trees on generously sized lots. While it is still considered moderately priced, many of the original homes are being renovated extensively or replaced to accommodate new builds. West Oakville's proximity to Lake Ontario, major highways, two GO stations, and downtown Oakville adds to its allure.
Residents enjoy access to various amenities, including the YMCA on Rebecca Street, which offers programs for all ages. The non-profit Bronte Tennis Club with its welcoming clubhouse and eight well-lit courts is another attraction, offering affordable memberships, league play, and lessons for all ages.
The Queen Elizabeth Park Community & Cultural Centre stands as a cultural hub, providing diverse programs for all ages, including an aquatics center, gyms, dance studios, and more. West Oakville is also home to several private and public schools, including Appleby College.
The neighbourhood is experiencing a transition, making it popular among families, downsizers, and investors. It offers a range of housing options, from original detached homes to newly constructed high-end properties. West Oakville's appeal lies in its green spaces, mature trees, and proximity to essential amenities, making it an ever-popular community for all.
