Southwest Oakville detached homes for sale

Every street in Southwest Oakville is detached, and the choice is between an original mid-century house, a renovated original and a new custom build. Originals span the 1950s to the 1970s, bungalows, split-levels and full two-storeys, often with single or double garages, hardwood under carpet, and lots deep enough for a pool and a large addition. Renovated originals typically have opened-up kitchens, second-storey additions and finished basements, and they are the value buy for families. Custom builds since the 2000s cluster near the water, around Coronation Park and Appleby College and on the cul-de-sacs off Lakeshore Road West, generally with three-car garages, walk-out basements and pools. For an original, check the roof, wiring, plumbing, insulation and whether the house ever had a septic system or oil tank, and ask for a survey and a review of the Town's tree by-law before planning a rebuild. For a new build, ask for the permits, the Tarion enrolment and the grading certificate.
