Where Oakville began
Oakville was established in 1827, when land around the creeks was auctioned to William Chisholm. Shipbuilding operated along Sixteen Mile Creek through the 1800s, and the harbour remains the heart of the old town. Old Oakville is the downtown area along the lake, bounded on the west by Sixteen Mile Creek.
Parts of Old Oakville are heritage conservation districts, which protect the character of the older streets and buildings. Downtown along Lakeshore Road East has shops, restaurants and cultural venues, and the waterfront has parks along the lake.
Rare townhouses in a heritage setting
Townhouses in Old Oakville are few. Most are in small condo complexes or newer infill rows, often on sites close to downtown or the lake. Supply is very limited, so buyers often wait a long time for the right unit.
In condo complexes, the fee typically covers exteriors, grounds and reserve fund contributions. Small complexes have fewer owners to share costs, so the reserve fund study matters. Newer infill rows may be freehold or POTL.
If a unit is in a heritage conservation district, changes to the exterior, such as windows, doors, roofing materials or additions, may need heritage approval. Ask the town before planning changes.
Units within walking distance of Lakeshore Road East's shops and the harbour tend to draw the most interest when they come up.
Walking downtown, a short trip to Oakville GO
Downtown shops, restaurants, the harbour and the lake are close. Oakville GO is a short trip north on Trafalgar Road, with all-day Lakeshore West trains and VIA Rail service. The QEW is just north of the GO station.
For those who still drive to work, the QEW and 403 are a few minutes north. Within the old town, many daily errands can be done on foot, which is one of the main reasons buyers choose it.
Heritage districts, infill and what gets approved
New townhouse projects in Old Oakville are uncommon, partly because sites are scarce and partly because heritage districts and the town's planning policies aim to protect the area's scale and character. When infill rows do get approved, they tend to be small, carefully designed and expensive per square foot.
For buyers, that has two effects. Supply stays limited, which supports resale for well-located units. And owners of existing units may face more process for exterior changes, from replacing windows to adding a deck. Ask the town whether a property is designated or within a district, and what approvals any planned changes would need.
Within condo complexes, the corporation may also have its own rules on exterior changes, which apply on top of the town's.
Who buys a townhouse in Old Oakville
Old Oakville tends to attract downsizers who want to stay near the lake and downtown, and buyers who want a walkable setting close to the GO. The trade-offs are limited supply, older buildings in many complexes and heritage rules that affect exterior changes.
- Check the status certificate for any condo or POTL town.
- Ask whether the property is in a heritage conservation district.
- Look at parking, which can be tight near downtown.
- For units near the creek or the lake, ask about Conservation Halton regulation.
