Home to the Hillside Mall, the Oakland neighbourhood is located in the Northeast corner of Victoria. The Mall and its surrounding commercial uses form a prominent commercial core for the region. The property is served by high volume traffic routes such as Cook Street, Shelbourne Street and Hillside Avenue itself. Oakland’s two community parks (Oakland and Hillside), two large neighbourhood parks (Oswald and David Spencer), as well as smaller neighbourhood parks along with its well-established schools, continue to attract residents and retailers alike to the area.
