What to check on a home near Durham Alternative Secondary School

Proximity to a secondary school is about routine rather than eligibility. A student who can walk or cycle to Durham Alternative Secondary School makes the household's mornings simpler and keeps late practices and clubs on the table without a second car. The cost is activity: bell-time traffic on Simcoe Street, a bus loop behind some corner lots, and lit fields on game nights. Visit on a school day, not a weekend, and stand on the street at dismissal once. The statistics above count the homes for sale within 3 km as of today and show their middle asking price; the listings below are that inventory, sorted from nearest to farthest.

Questions people ask about homes near Durham Alternative Secondary School

If I buy within 3 km, is my child guaranteed a spot at Durham Alternative Secondary School?

No guarantee comes with distance. The Durham District School Board assigns each address to a school by boundary, and boundaries are redrawn as neighbourhoods grow. Most homes this close are inside the catchment, but the only safe answer is the board's current map for the specific address, checked before you sign.

What does Durham Alternative Secondary School offer?

It is a Durham District School Board secondary school for grades 9 to 12, with about 480 students. Program details such as French immersion, specialized courses and before-and-after care change from year to year, so read the school's page on the board site for the current offering.

What part of Oshawa is Durham Alternative Secondary School in?

Durham Alternative Secondary School sits in the part of Oshawa that the MLS® files under Vanier, judging by the listings nearest the school. That guide goes deeper on the streets, the housing stock, the transit and the parks, and the other schools in the same area are linked at the bottom of this page.

How current are these listings?

They are requested from the MLS® feed each time the page loads, together with the counts above, so a sale this morning is gone by the afternoon. To hear about new listings near the school by email, open the map view, set your filters and save the search with alerts on.

Will the Miller team verify the school assignment for me?

Yes. Give them the address and the grade and they will check the board's boundary map, and call the school when the map is ambiguous, so you know the answer before the offer rather than after closing.
