Living in Westmount
Oakville, ON — a newer master-planned community in Oakville's upper west end, near the hospital and Bronte GO
What kind of homes are for sale in Westmount?
Westmount was built mainly from the 2000s onward, so its houses are newer than most of south Oakville, usually on smaller, easier-to-maintain lots. Detached homes line streets such as Glazebrook Circle, Willhaven Trail and Calloway Drive. Freehold townhouses are plentiful, on Redstone Crescent, Golden Orchard Trail, Postmaster Drive and Jillian Lane, for example. There are also several newer condo townhouse communities: 2441 Greenwich Drive (2016), 2420 Baronwood Drive (2017), and 2370 Khalsa Gate and 2393 Bronte Road (both 2019).

Which condos are in Westmount?
Most condo listings are in the mid-rise buildings along Old Bronte Road and Khalsa Gate, near Dundas Street. They include Mint Condos at 2486 Old Bronte Road (2017), Branch Condos at 2450 Old Bronte Road (2024), 2475 Old Bronte Road, and Nuvo at 2333 Khalsa Gate (2024). They're popular with first-time buyers, hospital staff and downsizers who want a newer building with amenities. In the newest buildings, check the Tarion warranty dates and compare the first-year budget with actual costs, since fees often rise once real operating costs are known. Our Oakville condos for sale page covers buying a condo anywhere in town.
What is it like to live in Westmount?
Westmount is practical and family-oriented. Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital is on its doorstep, which appeals to health-care workers, and parks and schools are spread through the subdivisions. Schools come under the Halton District School Board and the Halton Catholic District School Board; confirm the assigned school for your address. Everyday shopping is along Dundas Street and Third Line, and the trails of West Oak Trails and Bronte Creek are nearby. Highway 407 is just north, and Bronte GO, on the Lakeshore West line, is a short drive south.
What should buyers check on a Westmount home?
Most homes are young enough that major systems still have life left, but older 2000s houses may be due for water heaters, air conditioners and roofing. On freehold townhouses, check whether there's a shared-element agreement for roofs or driveways, and whether the water heater or furnace is rented, since that contract passes to the buyer. For condo townhouses, read the status certificate and ask what the fee covers. Homes near the busy Dundas and Bronte corridors can have more traffic noise, so visit at rush hour.
How does Westmount compare with nearby neighbourhoods?
West Oak Trails, just east, is a bit older, with more detached houses and a mature trail system. Bronte Creek, to the south-west, is similar in age and close to the provincial park. Glen Abbey is older still, with larger lots and more ravines. Westmount offers newer homes and a wide mix of types at prices that are often lower than Oakville's southern neighbourhoods.
How do I buy or sell in Westmount?
The Westmount market report tracks sold prices, days on market and inventory each month. For condos, compare against recent sales in the same building; for houses and townhouses, the same builder model nearby is the best guide. If you're selling, our home evaluation gives a comparable-sales estimate. Buyers pay Ontario's land transfer tax only, since Oakville has no municipal land transfer tax; our land transfer tax calculator estimates it.
