- No traffic during the weekends. I can always excuse traffic on weekdays, but ON A WEEKEND? Oakville could never.
- The best trail system in the GTA. Such a great combination of lakefront trails, suburban greenway trails, and deep river valleys. It’s so underrated that these gems exist in the GTA, and Oakville is the only suburb that preserved most of them. 200+ kilometers of trails. Probably the main reason I would live here.
- Downtowns with character (Oakville, Bronte)
- Frequent GO Train service to Downtown Toronto
- Close to Hamilton and Buffalo
- Lake Ontario is actually very underrated. It’s a great place to enjoy the water and hang out.
- Restaurants are decent (for most cuisines)… and for any other cuisine it’s not even far from the rest of the GTA.
- It’s actually QUIET for a suburb. Children actually play on the street, and it’s full of suburban amenities you would like for a young family.
- Oakville has loads of cool people 🙂
- This isn’t actually a pro but there’s no proper mall in Halton Region? Mapleview is the closest to one but it’s also terrible. Square One is close enough so it’s not the end of the world.
