Homes in Pickering

South Pickering’s diverse housing stock was built in stages from the 1940s, right up to the present. The style of homes here represents a good cross section of single family detached homes, semi-detached houses, townhomes, bungalows, and low-rise apartment buildings. There is sure to be a house here that fits just about everyone’s tastes and budget.

The predominantly rural north end of Pickering, features a number of quaint hamlets including: Brougham, Claremont, Cherrywood, Greenwood, and Whitevale.

These little villages feature a charming collection of heritage homes, with Victorian accents, and lemonade and iced-tea front porches. The largest of these hamlets is Claremont, which contains many newer executive homes, on oversize lots. These houses are well designed and feature a distinct Ontario Heritage style architecture.
