Joshua Creek detached homes for sale

The later phases north of Glenashton Drive toward Dundas Street and the streets that overlook the creek valley have the biggest houses and the widest lots, with some three-car garages. The earlier 1990s streets to the south are more uniform four-bedroom two-storeys. Ask for the original builder plans, since many houses have been extended.

In-law suites are common because the houses are large and multi-generational living is popular in the community, but a lawful second unit requires Town of Oakville approval, a proper exit, fire separation and parking. Ask for permits for any finished basement with a kitchen before you plan around suite income.

Stucco or EIFS cladding and the flashing around windows, the original shingles if never replaced, hot water tank and furnace age, evidence of foundation movement on walk-out lots and the condition of any pool equipment. Grading toward the creek or a pond deserves a look after heavy rain.
