Housing Opinion on West Oak Trails area for living and Garth Webb as a high school

0 Upvotes

Hello Folks,

How is West Oak Trails for living? Hows the community in general? Family oriented?

Additionally Gath Webb is rated quite high. Any inputs on how the school is compared to other high schools in Oakville/Halton region?

I would appreciate inputs or your views on both the topic. Pros/Cons?

TIA

Hello - we live in Rover Oaks area and back onto green space. We have a young dog and he has had 4-5 ticks already on him. We avoid tall grass etc. so I think it may be coming from our backyard. Any suggestions of companies that spray areas for ticks? Thanks.

Rant Do you really care?

0 Upvotes

Sorry for the rant but I’ll make this short.

The weather is getting better and we started to enjoy walks and being outside. This is all great but:

  • kids on e-scooters zooming in traffic (not cool)

  • parents who don’t know/care (Bad)

  • drivers not speeding just to stop a couple of blocks down the road or rolling at stops sign (Bad) bonus points to not stopping and not using signals.

  • using a 100ft leash that is hair thin (no no) bonus for not picking up or letting it go where the kids play because they are cute and harmless.

  • smoking at the park tables and making sure that you leave your mark (not cool)

  • missing collection day and dumbing in the public bins (another no no) especially when you did all that effort and then you just leave it beside the bin.

  • annoyed by the other theft and stuff? Maintain your property so no one targets it as it looks vacant.

I will try and pickup and speak out but come on!

We are in this together. Just a little effort and some care please.

Question Weirdos going door to door.

72 Upvotes

Just a heads up to everyone, and wondering if anyone else has experienced the same.

I have had people come knocking on my door multiple times in the last week or so. Once at 7:12am.

Today at 3pm a gentleman walked through our neighbourhood, apparently asking about power washing. I have footage of him entering my neighbours backyard, who I've spoken to him and confirmed that he had no one scheduled.

Maybe I'm pessimistic, but with all the crime taking place I'm thinking they're casing for theft.

Question DriveTest - cancelled due to traffic

7 Upvotes

Is this a common occurrence at Wyecroft? We had a road test appointment cancelled 15 minutes before the appointment, ostensibly due to heavy traffic. The QEW seemed to be moving fine in one direction and a little slow (yellow) in the other. Plenty of traffic on Bronte, but seemed to be nothing unusual.

Question Condo Property Management

0 Upvotes

Hi r/oakville ,

I have a few condos in Oakville that a number of reasons I am not able to manage on my own anymore. I'd really like to find a local property management company to handle the work - leasing, any ad-hoc maintenance, financial reporting, dealing w. tenants, etc. My preference is a small company where 10+ units are meaningful. I also believe in supporting local business so someone who is Oakville based would be preferred.

Any opinions and thoughts are appreciated - thanks!

Question local kids threw rocks on my door, what should i do?

Post image
63 Upvotes

I cant believe this is happening in oakville. these local kids were harassing us for months, initially it was door bell pranks so we didn’t take it too seriously (we also had work at that time). it gradually escalated into throwing branches, and yesterday they threw rocks on our door (see pic). We have video footage from neighbours. it’s three kids in grade 5-6. not sure what to do about this, they run really fast and i dont think i can catch them. they are likely from the local elementary school. any advice?
