If you are looking for a neighbourhood that balances executive-level housing with unbeatable highway access, Joshua Creek is often where the search begins and ends.
Located in northeast Oakville, this area was developed largely in the 1990s and 2000s. Unlike the older, smaller layouts of southwest Oakville, homes here are designed for modern life: high ceilings, open-concept main floors, and generous square footage. It is a favourite among my clients who work in downtown Toronto or Mississauga but want the prestige of an Oakville address.
Iroquois Ridge: A Top-Tier Education
Real estate values in Joshua Creek are heavily supported by the reputation of Iroquois Ridge High School. It is a magnet for families prioritizing academic excellence.
🎓 Victoria’s School Insight
Iroquois Ridge High School is consistently a top performer. In the 2025/2026 Fraser Institute report, it scored a 9.3/10, tying for 8th place in Ontario alongside Abbey Park.
The school is also known for its strong community involvement and athletics. For elementary options, Joshua Creek Public School serves the heart of the community and maintains equally high standards.
Streets & Housing Styles
Joshua Creek is predominantly detached homes, though there are upscale townhome enclaves. The streetscape here is grander than other parts of town.
- Pinery Crescent: A sought-after street known for its quiet atmosphere and larger lots.
- Prince Michael Drive: One of the main arteries, lined with impressive brick and stone facades that define the "Joshua Creek look."
- Craigleith Road: Offers some stunning ravine-backing properties that provide a cottage-like privacy within the city.
The Commuter's Dream
One distinct advantage of Joshua Creek is its location. You have immediate access to the 403, QEW, and the 407 ETR. For professionals commuting to the Financial District, the access to the GO Train (via Oakville or Clarkson stations) combined with the highway options makes this the most strategic location in town.
Is Joshua Creek Right for You?
This is a neighbourhood for buyers who want "move-in ready" luxury without the maintenance of a heritage home. If you want high ceilings, a double-car garage, and top-ranked schools, Joshua Creek is the benchmark.
