Oakville is a bustling commuter city because of its proximity to Toronto. Working couples appreciate the winning combination of a county life and easy access to the city. An afternoon’s exploration of this attractive city with its dignified homes and tree-shaded streets can be rewarding.

If you take the Lakeshore Road all along Lake Ontario to Burlington, you will pass an awesome string of mansions and landscaped grounds and glimpse how the other half lives. The natural scenery is picturesque too. This route will lead you into the centre of city.

The city’s vantage point on Lake Ontario wasn’t overlooked by travellers. Even as early as 1900, it was a popular summer resort with summer residences sprouting up all along the shore. The same shoreline and the neat harbour attract visitors today.
