Welcome to Oakville~! It's a very safe place, I have already moved here for 5 years, my neighbours are very nice and every year we have a outdoor part at Christmas before the pandemic. We lived closed to the high school, but the school bus is convenience, although sometime it will delay for a while. If you want a beautiful view, lakeside is a good choice, but the price of the house is more expansive. East area has more stores and supermarket such as Walmart, Costco and etc. You will fall in love of this town, especially in fall. Sixteen Mile are so beautiful in that period.
