Neighbourhood directory

Oshawa Neighbourhoods

Oshawa's listings are tagged with the community names the city itself uses, so the directory below reads like a map. South of Highway 401: Lakeview. Around the core: Central, O'Neill, McLaughlin and Vanier. East of Ritson Road: Donevan and Eastdale. Between Rossland Road and Taunton Road: Centennial, Samac and Pinecrest. North of Taunton: Northglen, Taunton, Kedron and Windfields. Everything past the urban edge, including Columbus and Raglan, is Rural Oshawa, and smaller communities such as Farewell, Stevenson or Northwood appear here whenever they have listings. Each entry opens a guide to that community's boundaries, housing stock, transit, schools and parks, alongside the homes for sale there right now. The Miller team of Urban Avenue Realty works every one of them from the Ajax office.

Questions people ask about Oshawa Neighbourhoods

How does TRREB divide Oshawa into communities?

It borrows the city's own community names: Centennial, Central, Donevan, Eastdale, Farewell, Kedron, Lakeview, McLaughlin, Northglen, Northwood, O'Neill, Pinecrest, Raglan, Samac, Stevenson, Taunton, Vanier, Windfields and Rural Oshawa among them. The lines mostly follow the 401, Ritson Road, Rossland Road, Taunton Road and the creeks, and the directory shows any community that currently has a home for sale.

Which parts of Oshawa are walkable to the GO station?

The station at 915 Bloor Street West sits at the edge of Lakeview and Vanier, near Thornton Road South, so those two and the west side of Central are the walkable ones. Everything north of Rossland Road relies on a drive or a Durham Region Transit route, and the planned Thornton's Corners East and Ritson Road stations will change that picture once they open.

Where do students and campus staff usually look in Oshawa?

Windfields, Samac, Kedron and Northglen, all within reach of the north campus at 2000 Simcoe Street North, plus downtown Central for Ontario Tech's five downtown buildings. Those areas carry more rentals and licensed suites than the rest of the city, which matters both to investors and to buyers who want a quieter street.
