Wedgewood Creek sits in Oakville's northeast, roughly bounded by Dundas Street East, Eighth Line, Upper Middle Road and Trafalgar Road. It is a mature neighbourhood — most of it built in the 1980s — and it reads that way on the ground: wide lots, full-grown trees, and streets that have settled into themselves.
Housing is predominantly two-storey detached, with townhouse pockets and a small apartment share. Because the stock is forty years old, condition varies house to house more than it does in newer parts of town: some homes have been renovated to the studs, others are close to original. That spread is the opportunity here — it is one of the few Oakville neighbourhoods where the same street can offer two very different price points.
Oakville GO on Cross Avenue is the nearest station, on the Lakeshore West line with VIA service on the same platforms. Oakville Transit's Route 20 connects the Uptown Core Terminal to Oakville GO along Eighth Line and Glenashton Drive, with a stop at Iroquois Ridge High School. Trafalgar Road along the western edge interchanges with both the QEW and Highway 407, and Highway 403 is a short drive south.
Iroquois Ridge High School is on Glenashton Drive at the neighbourhood's edge, alongside the community centre. Beyond that, catchments here are genuinely street-by-street — the boards set them by address and revise them as enrolment shifts.
Confirm your specific address with the Halton District School Board or the Halton Catholic District School Board before you count on a school. Our Oakville Schools Guide covers every school in town with Fraser Institute ratings and boundary detail.
Iroquois Ridge Community Centre on Glenashton Drive is the anchor: a fitness centre, an eight-lane pool, a leisure pool with a water slide, four rental rooms and outdoor tennis courts, with the Iroquois Ridge library branch and an older adults centre in the same building. Postridge Park on Postridge Drive has a splash pad, and Valleybrook Park adds neighbourhood green space. The Morrison Valley Trail North runs from Dundas Street East down to Upper Middle Road just east of Trafalgar, part of Oakville's 200-kilometre trail network.
Upper Oakville Shopping Centre at Upper Middle Road East and Eighth Line handles most of the everyday run — Metro, Shoppers Drug Mart, LCBO, Dollarama, M&M Food Market, COBS Bread, Mastermind Toys and New Balance, plus Swiss Chalet, Harvey's and Subway, a UPS Store, a Petro-Canada and dental, chiropractic and veterinary clinics. Larger-format retail sits along Dundas Street to the north.
This is a long-settled family neighbourhood: quiet interior streets, mature landscaping, and a community centre and high school within walking distance for much of it. Demand here is driven by people moving within Oakville rather than into it.
