Oakville has a small town feeling with wonderful facilities for all tastes. There are two harbours, one close to the downtown area, which consists of small upscale stores, restaurants, pubs, a theatre and beautiful walks through parks and along the waterfront. A great people watching area. Our home is a couple of miles to the west of downtown, and a 5 minute walk to the second harbour known as Bronte harbour. The harbour has boutique stores, restaurants, including a creperie, a seafood restaurant and many others, including a couple of good pubs.
Waterfront trails are also in abundance as well as fishing from the pier.
Other parts of Oakville are rich in parks and public gardens and there is a Provincial park ideal for hiking and picnics about 2 miles to the north of us. There are two shopping malls, each with a large full service supermarket within 1 mile. Adequate parking is available in all areas of town. If golf is to your taste you will love Oakville. Glen Abbey, home of the Canadian Open, is just 3 miles up the road.
