The Oshawa guide
Ontario's value-first lakeside city with a university campus. As a lakeside community where the waterfront shapes daily life, Oshawa spreads across 17 named communities, and the difference between them is usually what decides where people buy.
Expect a mix of waterfront and water-view homes, low-rise condos and detached houses set back from the shore. The older, more central pockets tend to hold value best.
Right now there are 600 homes for sale in Oshawa around a median asking price of $765,000, plus 559 rentals near $2,100 a month. Every community below has its own guide with the homes available there today.
Good to know before you shortlist
- Property taxes, water and heating costs differ across Durham Region — factor them into your monthly number, not just the price.
- Newer subdivisions can still be finishing roads, parks and schools; older pockets have them already.
- Ask how long the trip to work really takes at 8am, not at noon.
Who Oshawa suits
- Buyers who want water views or beach access
- Downsizers
- Weekend hosts and boaters
Getting around
- Durham Region Transit buses
- GO train service along the Lakeshore East line
- Highway 401 and 407 access
