It is located South of Southdale, North of Exeter, and West of Wellington Road.

White Oaks has a population of over 20,000 people, most of whom are between the ages of 20 and 44. It is also one of the most culturally diverse neighbourhoods in London. Because of its residential focus, schools, and great amenities within walking distance, White Oaks is an ideal area for families.
Did you Know?
During its development in the 1970’s, much of the naming for the new area was inspired by the Jalna series of books written by Canadian author Mazo de la Roche. The series focuses on the story of the Whiteoaks family and their manor, Jalna. This can be seen in the name of the White Oaks subdivision itself, in Jalna Boulevard, and many other characters named in the streets of the area.
