Located on Lake Ontario's northern shore, just 20 minutes east of Toronto, the town of Ajax is one of Ontario's fastest-growing areas. Currently, about 90,000 people live here.
Residents enjoy access to a full range of services and amenities including excellent shopping. Big-box stores line Highway 2, while the Durham Centre, close to Pickering Village, houses stores such as Chapters, Future Shop and Winners.
Ajax is blessed with 465 acres of green space. The town's waterfront features six kilometres of largely undeveloped shoreline. Residents also enjoy access to first rate golf courses, community centres and the unique Higher Ground Rock Climbing facility - one of the few of its kind in the GTA.
Ajax offers a vibrant mix of established and new neighbourhoods. Housing prices are lower here than in neighbouring Pickering and are significantly lower than in Toronto.
