About Durham Region

Durham Region is one of the last pockets of genuine value in the Greater Toronto Area. Stretching along the north shore of Lake Ontario east of Toronto, it spans municipalities like Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Pickering, and Clarington — each with its own character, school zones, and price points. For buyers who want a detached home with a real yard, space for a growing family, and a commute that doesn’t break them, Durham Region is where the math starts making sense.

What You Can Buy in Durham Region

Durham is one of the few places in the GTA where a detached home on a proper lot is still within reach for first-time buyers and growing families — without sacrificing commute or schools.

Detached HomesThe dominant property type across Durham — from post-war bungalows in Oshawa to newer 4-bedroom builds in Whitby and Pickering. Lots are larger and prices are lower than comparable homes in York or Peel Region.
Semis & TownhomesStrong inventory in Ajax and Clarington, typically priced $100K–$200K below comparable detached — a natural entry point for first-time buyers who want their own space.
Waterfront & LuxuryLakefront properties in Whitby and Pickering along Lake Ontario. Premium lifestyle pockets in Port Perry, Uxbridge, and Brooklin for buyers who want space without sacrificing quality.
Investment PropertiesMulti-family and income properties in Oshawa remain some of the most affordable cashflow-positive opportunities in the GTA, with strong rental demand from Durham College and Ontario Tech.
