Oakville is home to more than the famous Glen Abbey Golf Club and lakefront mega-mansions.

In 2018 Oakville was ranked as Canada’s Best Places to Live, including the best place for new Canadians, the third best place to retire and the fifth best place to raise a family. It’s certainly not the cheapest city in the country, but it has attracted a growing and increasingly diverse population because of its many strong points.

Oakville scored high in a broad range of the areas examined by the Best Places to Live rankings, placing in the top 25 percent of all cities in six out of 10 categories. Oakville residents enjoy access to Toronto’s strong job market while maintaining the benefits of a smaller suburb.

People from all walks of life have taken notice. Over the past 10 years, the percentage of visible minorities in Oakville has increased from 18 percent to 31 percent, according to the census, and not every house is a $65 million lakefront mega-mansion, with families priced out of Toronto flocking to new, relatively affordable townhouses and other high-density developments.

Oakville has maintained a small-town sense of community, even as the city’s population breaks 200,000.
