The Lakeview neighbourhood is in south Oshawa, bordering Lake Ontario. Lakeview is predominantly residential and has plenty of open, natural areas, with some pockets of commercial and industrial use. There are also schools, a community centre, health centre, arena, library, and restaurants, and other amenities. The Oshawa Museum is in the southeastern tip of this area. The Oshawa Creek flows through this area, which also features a conservation area, a wildlife reserve, and a popular park with beachfront access. Housing is a mix of older, mainly bungalow-style, single-detached homes, including a few waterfront homes, as well as co-op townhomes, low-rise apartment buildings, and townhome complexes.
