Duffin Heights, Pickering

Duffin Heights townhouses for sale

Townhouses are the reason Duffin Heights exists. Built mainly from around 2010 through the mid-2020s, they range from traditional two-storey freehold rows with single garages and small rear yards on Dersan Street, Zents Drive and Tillings Road, to three-storey rows with garages below and living space above, to back-to-back and stacked condominium blocks near Brock Road where the trade-off is a lower cost of entry for less privacy and no yard. Urban Town Living at 1711 Pure Springs Boulevard, a 104-unit two-storey complex completed in 2020 with suites of roughly 975 to 1,394 square feet, and the 61-unit development at 1695 Dersan Street finished in 2025 mark the range of ages. Buyers are first-time households, young families using St. Wilfrid Catholic School and commuters using the 407 at Brock Road or route 112 to the GO bridge. On any unit, confirm tenure and fees, parking for a second car, visitor parking rules, the party-wall sound rating, whether the Tarion warranty still runs, and how close the block is to the rail line and Brock Road traffic.

Questions people ask about Duffin Heights

What is a back-to-back townhouse and should I buy one?

A row where units share a rear wall as well as side walls, so each home has windows on one side only and no rear yard, in exchange for a lower cost and usually a rooftop terrace or balcony. Commuters and investors like them more than families wanting a garden do. Check cross-ventilation and the terrace waterproofing history.

How are the newest Duffin Heights townhouses different from the 2010 ones?

Later blocks like 1695 Dersan Street from 2025 tend to be denser, with three storeys, smaller footprints and condominium tenure, while earlier rows on Zents Drive and Tillings Road are more often freehold two-storey plans with yards. Newer units carry fresher Tarion coverage; older ones have settled and show their real maintenance costs.

Can I rent out a Duffin Heights townhouse?

Yes, subject to the condominium's rules if it is a condo, and demand is steady from commuters, Durham Live staff and families waiting to buy. Confirm whether short-term rentals are prohibited by the corporation, and if a basement suite exists check that it was permitted, since most of these rows were not designed with separate units.
