Are you thinking about a move to the location of Durham? Do you want developing community, reasonable property taxes and value? Then think about Whitby Ontario! This spot has much expansion in the number of homes and other real-estate improvements including anything from "mom and pop" type business to big box store developments. It's population has virtually doubled in size since the early 1990's that's the reason why it's attracted in potential buyers for several years. Whitby has a population of over 110,000. Businesses still flourish and a facelift continues to be provided to several aged buildings within the downtown core. Even with the growth it's a town that still retains a number of that "small town" feel. It's a place you are able to shop at your leisure, take pleasure in the pubs, restaurants, feel safe and walk around.

A lot of Whitby's early growth was dominated by large 4 bedroom, two storey homes with double attached garages. Usually, young families are drawn out from larger cities towards the suburbs. It becomes a spot that they want to raise kids with the promise for more room for less money. However in more recent years real-estate has been developed with more diversity. From low and high rise condo improvements to smaller sized bungalows, attached homes, and much more. First-time purchasers as well as those empty nesters are now provided with something by Whitby.

How come so many choosing to move to or stay in Whitby? In addition to the reasons stated above many residence compliment the park system and lovely beach, the main harbour of Whitby, and also the fact that a commute to Toronto is not unreasonable. Easy access towards the 401 in South Whitby and also the access to the 407 from Brooklin , which is a hamlet of Whitby, makes it possible to move further east into Whitby without a change in employment.

Whitby isn't falling behind in infrastructure either with projects in the works or planned for the upgrade of sports complexes, the Go Train station redevelopment, the brand new Brooklin community centre and library, as well as the extension of the 407 to run through the top end of the city only add to the explanations why Whitby is a great place to buy real estate.
