Pickering Homes for Sale East of Toronto

A large selection of neighbourhoods in The Pickering Real Estate market accentuate the long history of this Toronto suburb.  Most of these neighbourhoods are in the southern portion of Pickering.  Older neighbourhoods like Dunbarton, Fairport Beach, Liverpool Market, and Rouge Hill sprang up in the mid-1900s.  Newer subdivisions around Frenchman’s Bay joined them later in the 1900s.  Old Taunton and Oakwood Manor are a couple of the new home developments in Pickering.  Townhomes and condos are also popular in the southern part of the community, including urban-style high rises.

To the north of Pickering has remained agricultural and rural, with most of the homes situated in Brougham, Claremont, and Whitevale.  Very slowly, farmland is being developed, satisfying the need for additional new homes in Pickering.
