Some homes come to market with a story that reaches well beyond their walls. At 70 Madelaine Avenue, that story includes more than 60 years of ownership by the same family—a meaningful connection to a home that has been loved through generations.

Coming soon to Toronto’s Oakridge neighbourhood, this detached two-storey home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate entrance to the basement and a detached garage with power and heat. Freshly painted and showing pride of ownership, it is ready to welcome its next chapter.

For buyers exploring detached homes in Toronto’s east end, this is an opportunity to discover a property with a long family history, useful everyday features and an established community setting.

A Family Home for More Than 60 Years

There is something special about a home that has remained with the same family for decades. It has been the setting for everyday routines, changing seasons and the moments that become family memories.

At 70 Madelaine Avenue, that continuity is part of its appeal. Pride of ownership and fresh paint provide a welcoming starting point for buyers who want to settle in and make a home their own.

Rather than trying to tell its entire story through a list of specifications, this Coming Soon preview offers a first look at what makes the property worth exploring. The next family will bring their own ideas, routines and plans for the years ahead.

Three Bedrooms and a Practical Two-Storey Layout

The home’s three bedrooms offer options for different stages of life. Buyers may need sleeping space for a growing household, a guest bedroom or a dedicated place to work from home.

Two bathrooms add everyday convenience: a two-piece bathroom on the main floor and a four-piece bathroom on the second floor.

Having a bathroom on the main level is particularly helpful when entertaining or managing a busy day at home. The upstairs full bathroom serves the bedroom level, supporting a practical separation between daily living and personal space.

For buyers considering a move from a condo or smaller home, the combination of three bedrooms and detached living may be an appealing next step.

A Detached Garage with Power and Heat

One feature that deserves attention is the detached garage, equipped with both power and heat.

For someone who enjoys hands-on projects, maintains equipment or wants a more comfortable space for hobbies during colder months, this could be a useful addition. It offers something to consider beyond the usual question of where to park.

Its appeal will depend on how you hope to use it. During a viewing, take the time to explore the garage alongside the house and picture how both could fit into your everyday routine.

A Separate Entrance to the Basement

The basement has a separate entrance—another practical feature worth exploring in person.

Independent access can be useful for bringing items downstairs or accessing lower-level space without passing through the main living areas. It also gives buyers another aspect of the property to consider when thinking about their future needs.

The basement’s layout and condition will be important parts of a closer look. Brian can provide more information as the listing details become available.

Discover Life in Oakridge, Toronto

A home’s surroundings play a large part in how it feels to live there. Oakridge offers an established east Toronto setting with local schools, parks and community facilities.

Madelaine Park, with its playground and picnic space, adds an option for outdoor time in the neighbourhood. Oakridge Park and the Oakridge Community Recreation Centre are other local destinations that contribute to community life.

Local schools include Oakridge Junior Public School and Samuel Hearne Middle School. Families should confirm current attendance boundaries and program eligibility directly with the school board when planning a move.

The Danforth Avenue and Victoria Park Avenue corridors provide transit connections through the neighbourhood. Shopping, dining and everyday services along these surrounding streets also help connect residential life with the wider city.

For buyers searching for an Oakridge detached home, those neighbourhood connections are part of the picture alongside the property itself.

Be Among the First to Learn More

After more than 60 years with the same family, 70 Madelaine Avenue is preparing for a new chapter.

Its three bedrooms, two bathrooms, freshly painted interior, separate basement entrance and heated detached garage offer several reasons to take a closer look. Whether you are searching for your first detached home or planning your next move within Toronto’s east end, this Coming Soon property is worth keeping on your radar.

September brought another cautious month for the Toronto and GTA real estate market, with buyers continuing to weigh improved affordability against uncertainty around the economy, employment, inflation, and borrowing costs.

According to the September market figures, 5,040 homes sold across the GTA, down 9.0% compared with September 2025. At the same time, new listings fell even more sharply, declining 14.4% year over year to 16,500. The GTA-wide average selling price was $1,006,409, down 5.1% from a year earlier.    

Those numbers tell a more nuanced story than simply saying the market is “up” or “down.” Prices are more affordable than they were a year ago, but many prospective buyers remain cautious. For sellers, meanwhile, pricing and presentation matter in a market where buyers are paying close attention to value.

Here’s what the September 2026 GTA housing market numbers mean — and what buyers and sellers should be watching next.

GTA Home Sales — What Is Buyer Activity Telling Us?

There were 5,040 GTA home sales in September 2026, representing a 9.0% year-over-year decline.    

The decline suggests that many potential buyers have yet to move from considering a purchase to actually making one. Economic uncertainty, employment confidence, inflation, and borrowing costs continue to influence those decisions.

Importantly, that does not necessarily mean buyer demand has disappeared. The September report points to substantial pent-up demand, with households that intend to purchase but are waiting for greater confidence around their finances and longer-term borrowing costs.  

For homeowners, that distinction matters. A cautious buyer is not necessarily an absent buyer. Properties that offer the right combination of location, condition and price can still capture attention, but today's buyers are likely to compare their options carefully.

New Listings and GTA Housing Inventory

September saw 16,500 new listings, down 14.4% from September 2025. There were 26,131 active listings, 9.3% below year-ago levels.   

The notable point is that new listings declined faster than sales.

For buyers, current conditions can provide opportunities to evaluate available properties and negotiate based on the circumstances of a particular listing. But the GTA is not one uniform market. Available supply can look very different depending on whether you're searching for a detached house, condominium or townhouse — and whether you're looking in Toronto East, Scarborough, Durham Region or another GTA community.

For sellers, fewer new listings do not automatically guarantee less competition. Buyers remain price-conscious, so the competing homes within your immediate neighbourhood and price range are much more relevant than a GTA-wide inventory number.

Toronto and GTA Home Prices in September 2026

The GTA average selling price was $1,006,409, down 5.1% compared with September 2025.

The MLS® HPI Composite Benchmark was down 4.7% year over year. On a seasonally adjusted basis, both the HPI Composite and average selling price also edged lower compared with August.   

The average price and HPI should not be treated as interchangeable measures. An average selling price can be influenced by the mix of properties sold during a particular month, while the HPI is designed to track changes in the value of a representative home over time.

Property type also makes a considerable difference.

In September, the GTA average price for a detached home was $1,292,016, down 5.1% year over year. Semi-detached homes averaged $1,015,202, down just 0.2%. Townhomes averaged $820,637, down 4.6%, while condominium apartments averaged $605,257, a 7.7% year-over-year decline.    

That variation is an important reminder that one GTA average cannot tell you what is happening to the value of a particular home.

What Is Driving the GTA Housing Market?

One of the central themes in September was buyer confidence.

Lower prices compared with last year have improved affordability for prospective purchasers. However, affordability is only part of a home-buying decision.

Potential buyers are also considering employment security, inflation, borrowing costs and the broader economic outlook. The source material notes that many households still intend to buy but want greater confidence in their financial position before proceeding.    

This helps explain why lower prices have not automatically translated into higher sales activity.

It also makes the relationship between supply and demand particularly important to watch. If buyer confidence improves, the number of households moving off the sidelines will matter. So will the number and quality of new properties coming onto the market.

What Does the September GTA Market Mean for Buyers?

For buyers who are financially prepared, September's market offers some advantages that were less evident when prices and competition were higher.

The GTA average selling price is below last year's level, and buyers in many situations can take the time to compare properties rather than focusing only on getting an offer accepted.

That doesn't mean every property will be negotiable.

A well-priced home in a sought-after neighbourhood can behave very differently from a property that has been sitting on the market. Recent comparable sales, days on market, competing listings and local demand should all be considered before deciding how much to offer.

Financing preparation is equally important. Knowing what you can comfortably afford before finding the right home puts you in a better position to make a confident decision rather than reacting to broader market headlines.

What Does the Market Mean for Sellers?

September's numbers reinforce the importance of getting the fundamentals right.

Buyers have become increasingly sensitive to price and value. That means starting substantially above what recent comparable sales support can make it harder to generate meaningful interest.

Presentation also matters. When buyers have alternatives, condition, photography, staging, marketing and the overall first impression can influence which properties make the shortlist.

Most importantly, sellers should avoid assuming that a GTA-wide statistic represents their home.

Conditions in Scarborough, Toronto East, Birch Cliff, the Scarborough Bluffs and Clairlea can differ not only from the GTA overall but also from one another. The same is true across surrounding GTA communities. Property type, price range, condition and the number of competing listings all contribute to the local picture.

Are Toronto Home Prices Going Up or Down?

Based on the September 2026 GTA data, home prices were lower than a year earlier.

The GTA average selling price of $1,006,409 was 5.1% below September 2025, while the MLS® HPI Composite Benchmark was down 4.7% year over year.    

But that doesn't mean every Toronto home declined by 5.1%.

Even at the GTA level, September's property-type data ranged from a relatively modest 0.2% year-over-year decline for semi-detached homes to a 7.7% decline for condominium apartments.    

For an individual homeowner, the better question is: What are comparable homes in my neighbourhood selling for now?

That's where recent local sales become much more useful than a GTA-wide average.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell in Toronto?

There isn't one answer that applies to everyone.

For a buyer with secure financing, a longer-term ownership plan and the right property available, lower prices compared with last year may present an opportunity. Waiting solely for the market to reach a particular bottom can be difficult because market turning points are usually clearer in hindsight.

For sellers, the decision may depend more on why you're moving, where you're going next, the value of your current property and conditions within your specific neighbourhood than on the GTA average.

Someone selling and buying in the same market also has different considerations from an investor, first-time buyer or homeowner leaving the GTA.

Rather than trying to perfectly time the entire Toronto housing market, it is usually more useful to understand the market that applies to your particular move.

GTA Real Estate Market Outlook — What to Watch Next

The September numbers don't provide a basis for confidently predicting where GTA home prices will go next.

They do, however, identify several factors worth watching.

Buyer confidence around employment, inflation and borrowing costs will remain important. So will the relationship between new listings and buyer demand, particularly as the fall market progresses.   

Future TRREB reports will help show whether buyers are beginning to act on the pent-up demand identified in September and whether available housing supply is keeping pace.

For homeowners, it will also be important to look below the headline GTA figures. Changes in your neighbourhood, property category and price range can emerge before they're obvious in the overall average.

Final Thoughts

September 2026 was a cautious month for the Toronto and GTA housing market.

Sales and new listings were both below last year's levels, while the average selling price and MLS® HPI Composite Benchmark remained lower year over year. At the same time, improved affordability and pent-up demand suggest that there are still prospective buyers interested in entering the market when their circumstances and confidence allow.  

For buyers, this is a market where preparation and understanding value matter. For sellers, realistic pricing, presentation and local market knowledge remain critical.

And for both, the most useful information is rarely just the GTA average.

If you're considering buying or selling, or simply want to know what the September numbers mean for your home or neighbourhood, Brian McIntyre can provide a local market analysis and help you understand your options.

Finding a detached home in Toronto that balances character, modern updates, flexible living space and everyday convenience isn't always easy. 5A Scotia Avenue in Toronto's Oakridge neighbourhood brings those elements together in a home designed for real life.

Offered at $899,000 and located near Warden Avenue and Danforth Avenue, this updated detached brick home offers 3+1 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a finished basement with a self-contained in-law suite, and private parking for four vehicles — all on a 30 x 118-foot lot.

Whether you're looking for room for a growing family, space for extended family, or a home that offers additional flexibility downstairs, there's plenty to discover here.

Updated Interiors Made for Everyday Living

Step inside and the home immediately feels warm and cohesive, with hardwood flooring extending throughout the principal living areas.

The updated kitchen is one of the highlights. Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, porcelain flooring and contemporary finishes give the space a clean, modern look without sacrificing practicality.

Even better, the kitchen provides a walkout to the spacious sun deck.

It's easy to imagine this becoming part of your everyday routine: coffee outside on a quiet morning, dinner on the deck after work, or a relaxed weekend gathering with friends and family.

A Rare Main-Floor Bathroom — Plus Laundry

Sometimes it's the practical features that make the biggest difference once you're actually living in a home.

The main level at 5A Scotia Ave includes a three-piece bathroom and laundry, an especially useful combination for busy households.

Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms along with a newer four-piece bathroom featuring updated fixtures and finishes.

Together, the layout provides clearly defined living and sleeping spaces while remaining comfortable and functional for everyday family life.

A Self-Contained In-Law Suite Adds Flexibility

One of this Oakridge home's most notable features is downstairs.

The finished basement contains a separate, self-contained in-law suite with its own private laundry facilities.

That opens up several possibilities depending on your needs. It could provide private space for extended family, accommodate an older child or relative, or potentially offer supplementary rental income.

The suite is currently occupied by a tenant paying $1,300 per month, who is willing to either remain or vacate.

For buyers thinking beyond their immediate needs, that flexibility can be particularly valuable.

Four-Car Parking on a 30 x 118-Foot Lot

Parking is another feature worth highlighting, especially for households with multiple drivers.

The property offers four private parking spaces, providing considerably more flexibility than you'll find with many Toronto homes.

The 30 x 118-foot lot also gives the property comfortable outdoor space, including the sun deck that extends the home's living area outside during Toronto's warmer months.

Living in Oakridge: Connected to Toronto's East End

Location is a major part of the appeal of 5A Scotia Avenue.

Oakridge offers a residential setting while keeping everyday necessities and transportation within convenient reach. Schools, parks and community facilities are nearby, along with shopping, restaurants, services and other daily essentials.

For commuters, the Warden and Danforth location provides access to TTC service and GO Transit connections, making travel through Toronto and elsewhere in the GTA more manageable.

The neighbourhood's east-end location also puts residents within easy reach of surrounding communities including Birch Cliff, Clairlea and Scarborough, while remaining connected to the rest of Toronto.

For buyers who want a neighbourhood feel without becoming disconnected from the city, Oakridge deserves a closer look.

Who Could 5A Scotia Avenue Be Right For?

What makes this property interesting is that it doesn't fit only one type of buyer.

A family may appreciate the three upstairs bedrooms, nearby schools, outdoor space and four-car parking.

A multigenerational household could make excellent use of the self-contained lower-level suite.

A buyer looking for some income potential may appreciate that the basement is already tenanted.

And someone moving from a condo or townhome may simply be ready for the privacy and additional flexibility that comes with a detached Toronto home and a 30 x 118-foot lot.

At $899,000, the combination of a detached home, updated interior, four-car parking and additional lower-level living space makes 5A Scotia Avenue an interesting option for buyers exploring Toronto's east end.

Take a Closer Look at 5A Scotia Avenue

Photos and specifications can tell you plenty about a property, but they can't fully show you how a home feels.

If you've been searching for an updated detached home for sale in Oakridge, Toronto, 5A Scotia Avenue is worth experiencing in person.

With 3+1 bedrooms, three bathrooms, a modern kitchen, main-floor laundry, a self-contained in-law suite, four-car parking and a spacious sun deck, this home offers a combination of features designed to adapt to different stages of life.

What if you could have the fresh finishes and low-maintenance lifestyle of a new build, but with the space of a three-bedroom home, two parking spots and your own private rooftop terrace?

Welcome to 2-180 Clonmore Drive, a brand-new end-unit townhome in Toronto’s Birchcliff community, offered at $1,049,900.

With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 1,326 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space, this home offers an appealing alternative for buyers who want more room than a typical condo without taking on the maintenance of a traditional detached property.

And then there’s the rooftop terrace — 127 sq. ft. of private outdoor space that could easily become one of your favourite parts of the home.

Bright, Contemporary Living — With the Advantage of an End Unit

One of the first things you’ll appreciate about this home is the natural light.

As an end unit, 2-180 Clonmore Drive benefits from additional exposure, helping the interior feel bright, open and welcoming.

The main living area has been designed for the way people actually live today. An open-concept layout connects the kitchen and principal living space, creating an easy flow whether you’re making dinner on a Tuesday evening or having friends over on the weekend.

The modern kitchen features sleek stainless-steel appliances and a clean contemporary design, while laminate flooring throughout gives the home a cohesive, polished feel.

It’s new, fresh and ready for someone to make it their own.

Three Bedrooms Give You Room to Adapt

Three bedrooms can make a significant difference, particularly for buyers whose needs may change over time.

The spacious primary bedroom offers a quiet retreat with its own private 3-piece ensuite.

Two additional bedrooms, along with a 4-piece bathroom, give you plenty of flexibility. They could become children’s rooms, guest accommodation or that dedicated home office you’ve been trying to create at the kitchen table.

For young families, professionals working from home, move-up buyers or downsizers who aren’t ready to give up extra space, the layout offers options.

Your Own Private Rooftop Terrace

The standout feature may be waiting upstairs.

This townhome includes a private 127 sq. ft. rooftop terrace, extending your living space outdoors without adding a yard to your weekend maintenance list.

Picture coffee outside on a quiet summer morning, dinner in the open air, a few planters filled with herbs and flowers, or an evening spent unwinding under the stars.

In a Toronto home, having private outdoor space is valuable. Having a rooftop space that feels like an extension of your home makes it even better.

Two Owned Parking Spaces — Plus Storage

Here’s another feature Toronto buyers will notice: two owned parking spaces.

For a couple with two vehicles, a growing family or anyone who wants the flexibility of an additional parking spot, that’s a considerable convenience.

The home also includes one owned storage locker, giving you somewhere to keep seasonal items, sports equipment and the other things you don’t necessarily want taking up living space.

Why Buyers Are Drawn to Birchcliff

Location is a big part of the appeal of 180 Clonmore Drive.

Birchcliff offers an appealing balance: you’re still very much in Toronto, but the neighbourhood has a more residential feel, with parks, community amenities and the Lake Ontario waterfront within easy reach.

Public transit and GO Train access provide options for getting around the city, while nearby parks and green spaces make it easier to spend time outdoors.

And, of course, one of the biggest attractions of this part of Toronto is its proximity to the Scarborough Bluffs and waterfront.

Add local shops, cafés, schools and community amenities, and you have a neighbourhood that can work particularly well for buyers who want residential surroundings without feeling disconnected from the rest of the city.

Who Could 2-180 Clonmore Drive Be Right For?

This property could make sense for several types of buyers.

A young family may appreciate having three bedrooms and two parking spaces. A couple moving up from a condo gains considerably more usable space without jumping directly into a detached home.

Professionals can turn one bedroom into a dedicated office while keeping another available for guests.

And for downsizers, the combination of modern finishes, manageable living space, private outdoor space and no traditional backyard to maintain could offer an attractive next step.

It’s that versatility that makes this townhome particularly interesting.

Wednesday, September 30, 2026, marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation across Canada.

The day honours the children who never returned home from residential schools, as well as survivors, their families and communities. It is also observed as Orange Shirt Day, a day that encourages Canadians to learn about the history and ongoing impacts of the residential school system. 

If you're making plans in Toronto on September 30, however, you may be wondering what will actually be open.

Because the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a federal statutory holiday but not a general statutory holiday in Ontario, many Toronto businesses and attractions will operate as usual, while federal offices and certain public services will be closed.

Here's what you should know.

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 2026

📅 Wednesday, September 30, 2026

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was established by the federal government in 2021 following Call to Action 80 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

September 30 also coincides with Orange Shirt Day, which grew from the story of residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad and has been observed since 2013. 

In Toronto, the day is an opportunity not only to reflect, but also to learn more about Indigenous histories, cultures and communities.

❌ What's Closed in Toronto on September 30?

Because September 30 is a federal statutory holiday, expect closures among federally regulated organizations and federal government services. 

Canada Post will be closed, with no regular mail delivery on September 30. 

Toronto Public Library branches are also scheduled to be closed for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 

Some government offices and services may also close or operate differently, so it's worth checking the specific location before heading out. For example, Ontario lists some ServiceOntario locations as closed on September 30. 

✅ What's Open in Toronto?

For many Toronto residents, September 30 will otherwise look more like a regular weekday.

According to Destination Toronto, shopping malls and grocery stores are expected to remain open, although individual businesses may set their own hours. 

Several of Toronto's major attractions are also expected to be open, including the CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium of Canada, Royal Ontario Museum and Art Gallery of Ontario. 

As always, hours can vary by location, so checking directly before visiting is a good idea.

🗑️ What About Garbage and Recycling?

For Toronto residents, there is no service impact to daytime or nighttime curbside collection on Wednesday, September 30.

Multi-residential front-end collection is also unaffected, and the City's transfer stations and drop-off depots are scheduled to remain open to the public.

So if Wednesday is normally your collection day, you should not need to change your routine.

🏙️ A Day to Reflect, Learn and Participate

Beyond what's open and closed, September 30 is first and foremost a day of remembrance, reflection and learning.

The City of Toronto encourages residents to wear orange, learn about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, explore Indigenous history, support Indigenous artists and businesses, and participate in local community events. 

Toronto's TORONTO Sign at Nathan Phillips Square is also scheduled to be illuminated orange in recognition of the day. 

There are many ways to participate — whether that's attending an event, reading a book by an Indigenous author, learning more about the history of the land where we live or simply taking time to listen. 

Before You Head Out

Because operating hours can vary from one location to another, it's always a good idea to check directly with a business, attraction or service before leaving home.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation may not result in widespread closures across Toronto, but September 30 carries significance far beyond a change in business hours.

It's an opportunity to remember, learn and reflect on the experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples and the lasting impact of Canada's residential school system.

What if your next home offered the fresh feel of a newly built property, enough space for everyday family life and a location that keeps shopping, schools, parks and major commuter routes within easy reach?

Welcome to 1090 Lockie Drive in North Oshawa, a newly built three-bedroom, three-bathroom freehold townhouse in the growing Kedron community, near Harmony Road North and Conlin Road East.

Offered at $759,999, the home provides a modern, practical layout with 1,100–1,500 sq. ft. in the MLS size range, two parking spaces and a private backyard — an appealing combination for first-time buyers, young families, professionals and buyers looking for more space without taking on a large detached property. 

Open-Concept Living Designed for Everyday Life

The main floor is designed around the way many people live today.

Rather than separating the kitchen, dining and living areas into individual rooms, the open-concept layout allows the spaces to flow together naturally.

Large windows bring plenty of natural light into the home, helping the main level feel bright and welcoming throughout the day.

The contemporary kitchen overlooks the main living and dining areas, making it easy to stay connected while preparing meals, entertaining friends or keeping an eye on the family.

A walkout to the private yard extends the living space outdoors. It could become a spot for summer dinners, a quiet morning coffee, playtime with the kids or simply somewhere to relax at the end of the day.

Three Bedrooms Give You Room to Adapt

Upstairs, three bedrooms provide flexibility as life changes.

The spacious primary bedroom includes its own private four-piece ensuite, creating a comfortable retreat at the end of the day.

Two additional bedrooms give buyers options beyond simply sleeping space.

For a young family, they can become children's bedrooms. One could easily accommodate overnight guests or serve as a dedicated home office — an increasingly useful feature for anyone working remotely or on a hybrid schedule.

With three bathrooms in total, the home also offers practical separation for busy mornings and visiting family or friends.

Freehold Townhouse Living in North Oshawa

For buyers comparing condos, townhouses and detached homes, the freehold ownership at 1090 Lockie Drive is an important part of the equation.

A townhouse can offer an appealing middle ground: more privacy and space than many condo apartments while maintaining a more manageable footprint than a larger detached home.

The property also sits on a 20.01 x 91.86 ft. lot and includes two parking spaces.

For first-time buyers ready to move beyond apartment living, or move-up buyers who need additional bedrooms and outdoor space, this type of home can offer a practical next step.

Life in Oshawa's Growing Kedron Community

Location is a major part of the story at 1090 Lockie Drive.

The home is situated in Kedron, a growing North Oshawa community close to established and developing residential areas such as Windfields, Samac and Pinecrest. 

Everyday conveniences are close by, with restaurants, grocery stores, retail plazas and other services throughout North Oshawa. Nearby shopping options include the retail corridor around Harmony and Taunton, while SmartCentres Oshawa North provides another concentration of stores and services. 

Families and outdoor enthusiasts also have access to a variety of green spaces in North Oshawa, including Conlin Meadows Park, Harmony Valley Conservation Area and Cedar Valley Conservation Area. 

Close to Durham College and Ontario Tech University

Another advantage of this North Oshawa location is its proximity to two major post-secondary institutions.

Durham College's Oshawa campus and Ontario Tech University are located in North Oshawa near Simcoe Street and Conlin Road. Durham College lists its Oshawa campus at 2000 Simcoe Street North, just north of Conlin Road. 

That proximity may appeal to university and college employees, families with older children, investors and professionals who want convenient access to the growing education and employment hub in North Oshawa.

Shopping, Entertainment and Everyday Convenience

Living in this part of Oshawa means you don't have to travel far for everyday errands.

Shopping, restaurants, cinemas and Costco are all within convenient reach, while North Oshawa continues to offer an expanding mix of retail and services.

For recreation, residents also have access to facilities such as Delpark Homes Centre, along with parks, conservation areas and trails throughout the surrounding area. 

It is this mix of residential streets, newer development and convenient amenities that makes North Oshawa increasingly attractive to buyers looking for a suburban lifestyle without feeling disconnected from everyday necessities.

Convenient for Commuters

For buyers travelling throughout Durham Region or across the GTA, the home also provides convenient access to major roads.

Highway 407 is easily accessible from North Oshawa, while Durham Region Transit provides local transit connections. The nearby Conlin Road and Harmony Road area is served by DRT routes, adding another option for getting around without relying exclusively on a car. 

That combination can work particularly well for households where different family members commute to work, school or other destinations throughout Durham and the GTA.
