Area Guide

Ajax/Pickering overlaps both Ajax and Pickering, combining two suburbs into the ideal commuter neighbourhood. Mornings here might start with a walk past heritage homes and weathered storefronts before grabbing coffee at a tucked-away café. Residents ride bikes along quiet side streets, neighbours wave from porches, and there's usually something happening at the St. Francis Centre, an old church turned arts venue that now hosts everything from theatre nights to indie film screenings.

Life moves at a steady, down-to-earth pace in this part of town. Families gather at Hermitage Park for soccer games, shoppers browse local shops in the village core, and residents head to nearby Riverside or Westney Heights for schools, grocery runs, or weekend errands. You’re close enough to Highway 401 and the GO station to make commuting simple, but most days you won’t need to go far, especially with trails, golf courses, and libraries all nearby.

Renters will find apartment communities that match the neighbourhood’s easygoing style. Some are tucked into older low-rises with leafy courtyards, others are townhome-style rentals with private entrances and space to stretch out. Whether you’re looking for charm, convenience, or just a solid place to land, this corner of Ajax gives you a little bit of everything without ever feeling rushed.
