Whitby, Ajax or Pickering? Choosing your Durham Region community
Three popular lakeshore communities, three different lifestyles. Here is how they compare for commuters and families.
Whitby, Ajax and Pickering all sit along Lake Ontario with GO stations on the Lakeshore East line, but each has its own character.
Pickering
Pickering borders Toronto and offers lakeside neighbourhoods around Frenchman's Bay, established family areas and new construction in Seaton. See our Pickering guide.
Ajax
Ajax is known for its long public waterfront and diverse community, with a wide range of townhouses and detached homes. See our Ajax guide.
Whitby
Whitby combines a heritage downtown with newer communities in Brooklin, plus access to Highways 401, 407 and 412. See our Whitby guide.
