Secluded and tucked away in the southeast, Ford is an upscale and established family neighbourhood within close proximity to the amenities, boutiques and restaurants of either downtown Oakville or Port Credit.
In a top ranked school catchment, the community is popular with families of school aged children and Toronto bound commuters.
Travelling by car typically requires 26 to 40 minutes but expect this time to increase during rush hour as the QEW/403 corridor is the main travel route between Oakville and Toronto.
Travelling from Clarkson GO to Union station by transit includes an express train during rush hour skipping all stations past Clarkson saves about 10 minutes overall. The all-stops train visits key destinations such as Exhibition with a commuting time of around 35 minutes.
Travelling by car to the downtown commercial district typically requires 26 to 40 minutes which can fluctuate a little during rush hour. The QEW/403 corridor is the main travel route between Oakville and Hamilton.
Travelling from Oakville GO to Hamilton GO station requires about 42 minutes. Keep in mind that not all trains travel to Hamilton during off-peak hours and you may need to connect with a GO bus.
In Ford, you have a choice of traditional family homes, new builds, and impressive luxury lakefront estates. Developed from the 1960’s to the 1980’s, homes in the southern section are commonly spacious two storey, bungalow or split level styles on a large lot. More moderately priced counterparts can be found in the northern portion of the community. Original houses may have undergone extensive updates and renovations, or, replaced entirely with custom built contemporary infill properties. Waterfront estates can be jaw dropping in their grandeur.
The Maple Grove Arena is the venue for the neighbourhood’s public skating and hockey. Abundant green space, multiple park lands, and quick access to the Lake provide plenty of leisure and fitness activities for families.
Maple Grove Shopping Centre supplies practically everything needed for daily life. Groceries, retail, services, banking, eateries and even your morning coffee are available in this convenient one stop plaza.
Ford residents share the best of the best in modern amenities, social activities, commuting, education, and family living. Its tree canopies and green spaces satisfy outdoor leisure pursuits while its location permits quick access to the culture, action and enjoyment of the “City”.
Likely the most recognizable landmark in the neighbourhood is the Ford Assembly Plant, first opened in 1953 and visible from the QEW/403.
