Map of Oakville neighbourhoods
Kerr Village and Joshua Creek are not shaded: the Town draws no outline for them, and we do not invent one.
Looking for ward boundaries instead? Wards are the Town’s electoral map and a different shape from these areas. The Oakville ward map shows all 7, and each ward page draws its own boundary: Ward 1 · Ward 2 · Ward 3 · Ward 4 · Ward 5 · Ward 6 · Ward 7.

Method
How we define an area
Neighbourhood has no legal boundary in Oakville, so every name here is one a public body already uses.
- Town growth areas
- Midtown Oakville, Downtown Oakville, Kerr Village, Bronte Village, Palermo Village and Uptown Core are named and mapped by the Town in its Official Plan Review.
- Transit service zones
- Oakville Transit names four Ride On-Demand zones and several routes after the communities they serve, including Falgarwood, Glenorchy and Palermo West.
- Town-recognised associations
- The Town maps resident and community associations, which is how Glen Abbey, River Oaks and Joshua Creek are identified in municipal material.
- School review areas
- The school board defines Elementary Review Areas that describe parts of town in words, such as northeast Oakville east of Trafalgar Road.
Not a catchment map. School attendance areas are set by the boards, and development applications are linked to the Town ward list they are filed under.
Statistics Canada does not publish figures for these areas, so population, income and housing numbers are for the whole town, on Oakville by the numbers. If you are weighing a move, start with Moving to Oakville.
