Joshua Creek

Joshua Creek is one of the newer master planned communities in Oakville where development started in the late 1990s and 2000s. The neighbourhood lies between Dundas Street East, Ninth Line, Upper Middle Road East and Eighth Line, and its close proximity to Mississauga has made this location a hot spot for those seeking that desirable Oakville address.

Here’s where a discerning buyer can find the best of everything, including a mix of freshly built luxury homes and townhomes, a modern neighbourhood full of outstanding amenities, and natural, picturesque beauty everywhere.

As with most of Oakville, the size and scope of the homes tends to swing towards dual-income families and affluent residents. The real estate landscape primarily consists of detached homes, and luxurious ones at that, some of which exceed 4,000 square feet! A quick glance at one of the neighbourhood residences shows that this area definitely has the scent of success.

Plenty of well-to-do families send their kids to private schools here. Quick access to the GO and all major highways means the power players have easy access for their commute into Toronto. The luxurious lifestyle afforded by this upscale neighbourhood attracts a diverse group of residents – as long as they have the financial resources to put down roots here.

Joshua Creek is known for its spectacular green space—a major bonus for families! There are parks, trails, and for those into sports, it’s an ideal locale for access to Oakville’s soccer fields, hockey rinks, or one of the nearby golf courses.

Any day of the week, you’ll find local residents exploring the wonders of nature at North Ridge Trail Park, Bayshire Woods Park, Nena Woods Park, Craigleith Park, and Glenashton Park. Joshua Creek is the place to be whenever you want to enjoy the great outdoors. However, there are many other activities for everyone of all ages.

The Iroquois Ridge Community Centre is one of many examples. This is so much more than your average community pool. Just imagine 25 metres of space to splash and play in. This massive eight-lane pool also boasts a separate leisure pool with a water slide.

For the artistically inclined family, the Joshua Creek Heritage Art Centre might just become your home away from home. The sprawling 12-acre grounds feature a barn art gallery and stunning gardens where you can explore your artistic side.

If anyone in your family loves to tear up the ice, head on over to Joshua’s Creek Arenas for a game of shinny or a fun recreational skate. With seven indoor skating rinks, the facility also offers various training programs for the serious hockey player.

Joshua Creek is also an ideal neighbourhood for anyone looking for more tranquil activities. During the summer months, why not catch the latest flick from the comfort of your own car at the 5 Drive-In Theatre? Winston Park lies a little east of Joshua Creek, where you’ll find plenty of big box stores for all of your errands and shopping needs, as well as a Cineplex movie theatre for a night out with family and friends. There are no shortage of fun ways to spend time with your family in this highly sought-after community.

A modern lifestyle requires access to superb education. Fortunately, Joshua Creek is also home to lots of fantastic schools, both public and private.
