Ford
About Ford
Ford is an established, upscale pocket in southeast Oakville with a quiet, residential feel, mature trees, and a strong family vibe. It sits close to the lake and just minutes to Downtown Oakville, which is a big reason people love it. The streets are mainly calm and tree lined, and the area is known for larger lots and a mix of classic homes and updated custom builds.
Life in Ford
Life in Ford is about space, privacy, and day to day convenience. The streets feel established and quiet, with mature trees and a strong residential vibe. You get a calm neighbourhood feel, while still being close to the lake and the core parts of Oakville.
You have quick access to green space and waterfront spots for walks, dog runs, and weekend time outside. At the same time, you are only minutes to Downtown Oakville for shops, cafes, restaurants, and the harbour area. That balance is a big reason people stay in Ford long term.
Commuting is also straightforward. The QEW is close, and GO options are nearby, so getting around Oakville and into Toronto is realistic. Even with that access, the neighbourhood still feels tucked away compared to busier pockets.
If you are also comparing nearby areas, Morrison is a close match for larger lots and an established feel. Old Oakville is another great option if you want to lean into heritage streetscapes and being closer to the downtown core.

Lot sizes are generally larger than many newer parts of Oakville, and the overall vibe is established and low turnover.
