Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District
Established in 1981, the Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District is Oakville's first designated district, and one of the first in Ontario. This historically significant district extends south of Robinson Street to the lakefront from the Sixteen Mile Creek in the west to Allan Street in the east. The district boasts early vernacular homes, 19th-century lakeside cottages, turn-of-the-century luxury houses and churches. Architectural styles are diverse and include 18th-century Georgian, Federal, Neo-Classical, Victorian, Classical Revival, Gothic and Tuscan. One identifiable physical characteristic of this heritage district is the presence of heavy vegetation, contrasting greatly with the modern commercial areas to the north. The intimate atmosphere of the Old Oakville Heritage District provides two picturesque waterfront parks, Dingle Parks and Lakeside Park, as well as Erchless Estate museum.

Trafalgar Road Heritage Conservation District
Trafalgar Road Heritage Conservation District is a microcosm of Oakville's illustrious heritage. This district was established in 1994 and includes the area between Sixteen Mile Creek in the west and Reynolds Street and Allan Street in the east, and between Spruce Street in the north and Sumner Avenue in the south. The district is comprised of early estate homes, many built prior to 1860, on either side of Trafalgar Road, as well as late 19th-century and early to mid-20th-century homes just north of Oakville's downtown commercial district. George's Square, the ravine along Sixteen Mile Creek and mature treelines provide a stunning natural setting for the district.

First and Second Street Heritage Conservation District
The First and Second Street Heritage Conservation District is bound by Lakeshore Road East to the north, Lake Ontario to the south, Allan Street to the west and Second Street to the east. Established in 1987, this district offers a unique range of architectural styles and eras, extending over 150 years. The area was first surveyed in 1855, after which a number of houses were built here. A second wave of residential growth occurred in the 1920s and 1930s when residents from Toronto built cottages along the lake or moved to the area permanently. This history is evident in its diverse architecture which includes 19th-century elegant Italianate homes, early-20th-century revival structures, and more modern bungalow and prairie style homes.
