1359 White Oaks Blvd, Toronto

Situated on a quiet boulevard in downtown Oakville — The Oaks Condos rises to 21 storeys, backing on to the scenic Morrison Valley. The tower was completed back in 1972 and it features a traditional rectangular frame white a white concrete façade that’s typical of older condo designs.

While some buyers are deterred by older condo buildings, 1359 White Oaks Blvd offers incredible bang for buck, affording residents with more space and at a lower dollar amount.

Pride of ownership ensures that the building is extremely well maintained — from the revamped lobby to the amazing indoor pool with huge window walls and peaceful natural views to the fitness center and manicured grounds. Buyers will never feel like they bought in an older building, except when they return home to their enormous condos.

Suites in this Oakville tower attract an abundance of daytime light through wide windows, and large balcony doors. Layouts are extremely spacious, available from 1 to 3 bedroom floor plans, and ranging between 880 and 1665 square feet. Buyers who require a home office have a chance to find a plus den unit here, though they rarely show up on the market.

Most homes have hardwood floors — some could have parquet floors — and traditional apartment layouts with an enclosed kitchen. However, there are Oakville condos here that had the floor plans opened up and feature kitchens with breakfast bars and almost entirely open concept layouts.

The bedrooms are great for families or anybody who prefers to have more bedside furniture or desires a home office space. And all residents have a private covered balcony, and peaceful views of the tree-canopied neighbourhood.

The downtown Oakville area is a beautiful community — home to tree-lined residential streets, a charming business corridor on Lakeshore Rd and picturesque views near the water. There are great schools in the area, including Sheridan College, only a 5 minute walk from the condos.

1359 White Oaks Blvd is just seconds from the playgrounds and walking paths at Algrove Park, which connect to trails that run north and south through the Morrison Valley. While the building’s location is tucked away, it’s also minutes from Trafalgar Rd and restaurants like Taza Xpress, The Habanero Taqueria, Burger King, and Monaghan's Sports Pub & Grill for a relaxing drink.

Shopping is very convenient here, as Oakville Place is less than a 3 minute drive from the condos: The shopping centre has Hudson’s Bay and a number of clothing stores, tech shops and jewellers. Additional big box stores and retailers can be found to the south on Cornwall Rd, and it’s roughly a 10 minute drive for Lakeshore Boutiques and eateries.
