Why Durham? The Balance of Serenity and Strategy
The area of Durham Region, encompassing Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa, is more than just “the outskirts” today. There is plenty of opportunity here thanks to its natural scenery, advancing infrastructure and still low housing prices. People drawn to this area are after peace and space, while wanting to keep their distance from the node.
