Nestled on the western shores of Lake Ontario, Bronte is one of the most scenic and inviting places to live and do business in the GTA. And our evolution continues.
Bronte is home to over 13,600 residents, 175 businesses and growing. It is one of six growth areas identified in the Town of Oakville’s “Livable Oakville Plan” for revitalization as a complete community.
