Falgarwood is a neighbourhood filled with parkland, walking trails, ravines, creeks and treed residential streets. Its geographic placement is convenient to a host of amenities, transit and commuting routes.
In Falgarwood, there are many established long term homeowners. Families live in the neighbourhood for its affordability and schools – many located so as to be within walking distance for students.

Falgarwood has a rich mix of housing styles. Trending throughout the 1960’s to the 1980’s, the detached standards of two storey, back or side splits, and bungalows in the traditional, raised or ranch layouts, cater to families. Pockets of affordable semi-detached and townhouse properties make home ownership a possibility for many first time buyers. As elsewhere in Oakville, the generosity of lot size has led to custom build infill development, or extensive renovations to the original home.
In the warmer months, families enjoy the company of one another and of their neighbours at the Falgarwood Outdoor Pool. The Joshua’s Creek Arenas, is the area venue for public skating and hockey.
Oakville Place Mall is nearby, as are the big box stores and commercial businesses of Trafalgar Road. For the daily basics, professional services, dining, and take-out, residents head to Upper Oakville Shopping Centre on the north side of Upper Middle Road at Eighth Line.
Attractive not only for its affordability, Falgarwood is the neighbourhood for those who enjoy being active outdoors. Parks and walking trails provide exercise and relaxation in any season. Ravines and creeks are a paradise for bird watchers, wildlife enthusiasts and amateur photographers. Streets are kid friendly. Residents of all ages appreciate the architectural diversity, green spaces, schools and benefits of their interesting and picturesque community.
Joshua’s Creek Arenas feature floor, ice and shooter pads. Whether visiting for some family recreational skating or there to cheer on a hockey game, it’s an outstanding venue.
