Oshawa real estate sure can get the short end of the stick. Known as “the Shwa”, people can be quick to put the city down. But there are some great places to live in Oshawa and you can get fantastic value for your money. What is referred to as “The New Oshawa”, is the area located in the most north-eastern area of Oshawa, Located north of Taunton Road and east of Harmony. The new homes built here have been of good quality, full of beautifully appointed homes in a myriad of sizes and styles. Prices here have been fairing well and sales have been brisk. The only thing to watch out for is the tax rate. There are homes with taxes over the $7,000 mark in this area, so you’ll definitely want to ask what the rate is if you’re thinking about making a purchase there.
Then there is quaint little area, tucked south of King Street, north of Olive Avenue and east of Harmony. Here there is plenty of green space, great schools and parklands. The homes may be 30 or so years old, but the majority of them have been well maintained and you’ll notice some great landscaping. Here the lots tend to be a little wider and deeper than in the newer subdivisions. The neighbours are friendly and the streets are quiet.
So if you’re looking at buying a home, don’t pass over Oshawa. We may just be able to show you a few homes that will pique your interest!
