Oakridge was one of the communities London annexed in 1961, and the suburban subdivisions that followed set the district's character, though some streets were already built by then. In the two census tracts that lie wholly inside Oakridge (about 10,900 residents in 2021), 24% of homes were built in 1960 or earlier and 36% between 1961 and 1980. Another 15% went up in the 1980s and 15% in the 1990s, and only about 10% are from 2001 or later, so buyers here are mostly weighing renovated older houses against original ones.
The City's 2016 profile counted 6,390 occupied homes: 75% single-detached, 14% row houses, 8% in apartment buildings of five or more storeys and 3% in low-rise apartments, with 87% owned. About one home in five in the two core tracts was a condominium in 2021, which covers the townhouse complexes and the apartment buildings. Valetta Street, Pinetree Drive, St. Croix Avenue, Guildwood Boulevard, Plantation Road and Royal York Road are typical of the residential streets.
Oakridge has two secondary schools on Oxford Street West: Oakridge Secondary School (Thames Valley District School Board) at 1040 and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School (London District Catholic School Board) at 1360. TVDSB elementary schools in the district are Clara Brenton Public School (1025 St. Croix Avenue), Riverside Public School (550 Pinetree Drive), John Dearness Public School (555 Sanatorium Road) and West Oaks French Immersion Public School (1050 Plantation Road). The LDCSB runs St. Paul Catholic School (1090 Guildwood Boulevard) and Notre Dame Catholic School (767 Valetta Street), and Conseil scolaire Viamonde runs the French-language École élémentaire Marie-Curie at 40 Hunt Club Drive.
Attendance areas are drawn by each board and can change, so check an address with the board's school locator before you rely on it.
Sifton Bog, on the south side of Oxford Street West west of Hyde Park Road, is a floating acid peat bog in a kettle left by the last glacier. It was known as Byron Bog until 1967, when the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority acquired it from the Sifton Construction Company, following a preservation push started by Dr. W.W. Judd in 1957. A 370-metre accessible boardwalk runs from the Oxford Street parking lot to Redmond's Pond, and the ESA has 2.8 km of trails on almost 42 hectares.
For sports, Oakridge Optimist Community Park at 825 Valetta Street holds Oakridge Arena, the Oakridge Acres Park community pool, a spray pad and tennis and pickleball courts. The Thames Valley golf course is at 850 Sunninghill Avenue, and McKillop Park and a boat launch sit on Riverside Drive by the Thames. Springbank Park is across the river in Byron and Westmount.
Oxford Street West is the main road through the district, and London Transit buses serve it as well as Wonderland Road. Check LTC for current routes and times.
For a condo apartment or townhouse, have your lawyer review the status certificate, which Ontario's Condominium Authority says the corporation must provide within 10 days of a request. On the river side of Riverside Drive, and near the Sifton Bog and Kelly Stanton woodlands, ask whether the lot falls within the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority's regulated area before planning additions. You can also compare Oakridge asking prices with the rest of London.

North. The river forms Oakridge's southern edge, with Byron and Springbank Park on the far bank, and the district reaches north past Oxford Street West.
Two: Oakridge Secondary School (TVDSB) and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School (LDCSB), both on Oxford Street West. Confirm which one serves an address with the board's locator.
Few. Only about 10% of homes in the district's two core census tracts were built in 2001 or later. For newer west-end construction, look at Riverbend or Hyde Park.
Yes. It carried the Byron Bog name until 1967, when the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority acquired it from the Sifton Construction Company.
