Here’s What Each Municipality Contributes To The Durham Region Real Estate Market
The Durham Region real estate market is home to many diverse neighbourhoods which all boast their own housing values and selling features. Let’s walk through some of the most promising features that each part of the Region has to offer.
Pickering
If you are looking for somewhere that is outside of the downtown core that’s still close enough to experience all of the urban amenities, Pickering is the place for you.
Once stagnant in growth, this area is now booming with new infrastructure developments that include an entertainment oasis. The Durham Live entertainment centrum will showcase an amphitheatre, performing arts stage, 5-star hotel and potentially a new casino.
In the north, the Seaton development offers an alternative side of Pickering. A city home that’s located just steps from the country. Located just south of the Oak Ridges Moraine and Seaton Trails, owners in this neck of the woods can enjoy city amenities with the calmness of nature just steps away.
Ajax
The addition of the 412 fast-lane and 407 extension project has made Ajax into a commuters dream!
From picturesque waterfronts to condominium living and everything in between, Ajax’s real estate market is just as diverse as its population. Nestled within the Town’s boundaries are waterfront trails, sports parks, horse farms, nature paths, and shopping centres galore. You won’t be missing anything when you move to this area.
Whitby
With a few major developments slated for completion in 2019, Whitby and neighbouring Brooklin are continuing to be some of the most sought-after parts of Durham Region.
Whitby has a stunning marina to the south and massive dining/entertainment complex in the central area of its boundaries. Plus, to the north, you are surrounded by boutique shops in Brooklin and Durham Region’s top-rated golf course, Royal Ashburn.
Oshawa
Once known only for the GM plant, Oshawa has quickly picked up steam over the past few years.
It’s now home to the sought after Windfield Farms development and post-secondary institutions, Durham College and UOIT. In addition to working and learning, you can also take a load off while enjoying headlining concerts at the Tribute Communities Centre in downtown Oshawa.
Bowmanville & Courtice
While one town is within Durham’s confines, the other (Bowmanville) is technically a part of the Municipality of Clarington, this area has boomed dramatically in the past decade and is now home to some of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in Durham Region.
These locations boast natural settings and a quieter pace of living that is simply unavailable in other locations within the Durham Region. Plus, with the addition of the 407 and 418 highway extensions and a proposed Go Transit expansion, this area is now more accessible than ever.
Located within an hour of the downtown core, Durham Region has been booming and is now one of the most rapidly growing areas in the province. Want to live here? Give us a call today.
