West Oak Trails Overview

West Oak Trails is located between Third Line and Sixteen Mile Creek, with Upper Middle Road to the south and Dundas Street West to the north. It sits just west of the neighbourhood of Westmount and north of Glen Abbey.

Lying west of Sixteen Mile Creek, West Oak Trails is where west Oakville really begins. Developed between the early 90s and early 2000s, this was originally one of Oakville’s “new” neighbourhoods.

With North Oakville now holding that title, West Oak Trails has developed a reputation as a great place for young families thanks to its affordable homes and solid schools.

West Oak Trails is a great fit for families who want a safe, active neighbourhood with solid schools and plenty of outdoor space. It’s also ideal for young professionals who want an affordable entry point into Oakville without giving up on style or convenience.

If you’re looking for that suburban lifestyle where community and nature go hand in hand, West Oak Trails is definitely worth checking out.

West Oak Trails real estate

Real Estate

The homes in West Oak Trails are distinctly different from those in both central and south Oakville. Development started in the early 90s, but primarily took place in the late 90s and early 2000s. This period saw a shift in the types of lot sizes that builders offered.

While typical 40ft, 50ft and 60ft wide lots were still developed, the trend of shallower lots began to take place as builders looked to strike a balance between density, value and profits.

Here’s a great example of a home that’s ~44ft x84ft. Curb appeal is still strong here, but the lots are noticeably smaller. While you get well over 2000sq.ft inside you’re foregoing the opportunity for a large backyard and a pool. However, there is still plenty of room and many Oakville families have chosen to still build one. So, if you’re looking for an affordable home with a pool, you do have options in West Oak Trails.

Also, with West Oak Trails came the first of a large masterplanned community that stretches west all the way to Bronte Road and includes the neighbourhoods of Westmount and Bronte Creek.

The community was designed to have tons of walkable neighbourhood trails and local parks. Here is just one of many entryways to trails that wind throughout West Oak Trails. This gives everyone the opportunity to get outside. And it’s one that’s taken much more than if you just had a large backyard.

West Oak Trails is primarily made up of detached homes, but you have plenty of smaller detached houses and pockets of semis and townhomes.

With the Oakville Trafalgar Hospital and retail also very close by, the neighbourhood is a top choice for many families.

Parks, Rec & Trails

The lifestyle in West Oak Trails is all about enjoying the outdoors. The neighbourhood is surrounded by green spaces, with paved trails winding through the area. It’s perfect for young families, those with dogs, or retirees looking to stay active.

There are several community parks throughout West Oak Trails but the standout parks are Sixteen Hollow and Pine Glen Park.

Sixteen Hollow Park is a big hit with families thanks to its playground and splash pad. Pine Glen Park also has a playground and splash pad and can be found right beside the Pine Glen Soccer Centre – home to the Oakville Soccer Club.

Oakville Soccer Club

This is the local Oakville youth soccer club. If your son or daughter want to play soccer in Oakville, this would be the place to begin.

The Pine Glen Soccer Centre is the indoor facility that hosts both youth and adult leagues through the spring, fall and winter. As a former indoor champion at Pine Glen, I can personally attest that this is a well-run facility and league. Ok, that’s all for the humblebrag :)

Behind the indoor facility are also four outdoor fields that are used through the spring and summer months for both youth and adult leagues.

For more information, visit the OSC’s page on the Pine Glen Soccer Centre.

For more sports, this is also a good spot for golfers as you’re close to both the Glen Abbey Golf Course and Oakville Executive Golf Course.

Finally, make sure to check out the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex located just across the road in North Oakville. This is an amazing facility that’s recently undergone a huge expansion.

I have more details on it in the “Things to do in North Oakville” section. This is probably the amenity you will end up using the most that is close by!

Retail & Other Amenities

There are corner plazas at almost every main intersection giving you lots of options for everyday retail. You’re also less than a 10-minute drive to the large retail centre at Dundas/Trafalgar. You can check out more info on that on my neighbourhood page on River Oaks.

Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital

Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH) is located on Dundas just north of West Oaks Trail. The hospital opened in 2015, replacing the original facility on Reynolds Street.

OTMH offers a wide range of services, including 24/7 emergency care, maternal newborn and pediatrics, surgery, intensive care, diagnostic imaging, mental health, rehabilitation, and geriatrics. With 457 inpatient beds, the hospital serves over 15,000 inpatients and handles more than 240,000 outpatient visits annually. The emergency department is particularly busy, seeing over 70,000 visits each year.

In addition to its general care services, OTMH runs several regional programs such as renal dialysis, cardiac rehabilitation, diabetes education, eating disorders support, and cancer clinics. The hospital is affiliated with McMaster University’s Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine, contributing to medical education and research.
