    SCHOOLS IN GLEN ABBEY OAKVILLE


    Homes for sale in Glen Abbey Oakville benefit from some excellent schools and that factor is certainly priced in the value of homes for sale in Glen Abbey Oakville. Most parents consider the quality of education available to their children to be one of the most important factors in deciding where to move. While a good quality education does not guarantee success in life, it certainly provides more opportunities for our children. The better the school district (or catchment as its called) the higher the price of real estate in that neighbourhood, so there?s usually a decision that has to be made in terms of how new and nice the home you want versus the quality of the school zone you want for your children (unless private school is an option). Does a quality school guarantee the success of a student? Maybe, maybe not. Could a student in an average school who had the benefit of parents who are engaged in their success fare better or just as good? These are legitimate questions that are usually considered when trying to weigh the value of a great school zone versus an average one as the price of land and homes changes accordingly. Here are the public schools available in Glen Abbey Oakville:

    DINING IN GLEN ABBEY OAKVILLE


    Dining in Glen Abbey, Oakville is an absolute treat and one of the many reasons my family and I moved to Oakville. In order to survive as a business in this town restaurants need to not only offer great tasting fresh food but also need to provide exemplary customer service since there are so many restaurants here, they all really push each other to be better and to meet their discerning customer?s good taste. Here you will truly be able to ?taste the world? as we say. This neighbourhood is so very diverse and a microcosm of Canada itself that we have restauranteurs with their roots in many different countries. In addition to regular Canadian cuisine, we have many Italian restaurants each with their own flare. Dining in Glen Abbey, Oakville would not be complete with out a fine selection of Asian inspired cuisine from China, Korea, Japan and of course Taiwan. There?s more. We have an enviable selection of middle eastern cuisine as well (Persian food is one of my favourite foods, I love the koobideh). South East Asian restaurants are also on the rise here packing rich flavours and satisfying dishes. There is seemingly no end to where you can dine or order food from, which is comforting. Not everyone wants to cook every night. It?s nice to know that there are many options at your finger fingertips. There are also a number of Facebook groups that love sharing their experiences at all these different restaurants. Feel free to reach out to me and I will be happy to steer you in the right direction. Now I?m hungry.

    Working with Michael was an absolute pleasure. In a market as hot and crazy as this one you can’t afford to sit back - and Michael never does. Incredibly proactive and nimble - he ensured we never missed an interesting opportunity. And ultimately his incredible diligence garnered us the home of our dreams! - Meg

    Mary & Ray

    Michael Englund was awesome. He was very professional, followed through with everything he promised and was a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation in using him again and highly recommend his services. - Mary.

    We were really happy you understood our goals right at the beginning, which informed all our discussions. We were aligned from the first meeting and first viewing. Michael was really quick to reply to emails, even late and weekend hours. Michael's personality and demeanour is calm, down to earth, and not aggressive, and we got that impression from the very first call, so that's why we went with him. Michael's best advice was "If it were my money, I would buy this one". That's the kind of recommendation we need because it's been 20 years since the last time we did house shopping. All in all, we were really happy to find a solid place after just 1 month of searching - very efficiently done. Michael never complained about seeing a lot of places before we found a great one. I would recommend your team to anyone I know looking for homes for sale oakville.
