Oakville neighbourhoods
Hi,
We are moving from Cambridge, UK. Looking for a property to rent in Oakville. After learning that most high schools are good, we are now trying to decide about the neighbourhood. Our budget is $2300-2500 for a 3 bedroom house. Any comments about West Oak Trail Community? We also looked around TA Blakelock high school, but the houses are rather small and prices for buying are too high.
Many thanks!

Re: Oakville neighbourhoods
Hi we have just secured a property for our arrival in June. We looked at Oakville then moved our search over to Milton just because you seem to get more house for your money there. But the house we actually got is in West mount Oakville close to schools shops and trails. We had a really good realtor who helped us secure the home, the rental process is different than over here and we had to bid for the house we got because there where 2 other families interested as well as us. I think you should be able to find something within your budget in Oakville. Try the links on the previous post . Good luck with you search.

Re: Oakville neighbourhoods
My son's girlfriend plus several of his friends went there. It's a good school. The system is different here though, in the UK if a school gets a good combination of senior staff they tend to stay at that school for years with a positive effect, here the staff get moved regularly between schools, so a great Principal this year could easily be switched out for a weaker one next year or vice versa.

Re: Oakville neighbourhoods
Grade 8 here is year 9 in England. So if in year 8 in England she would go in to grade 7. Although the intake is based on dates of birth from Jan to Dec rather than Sept to Aug.
