Ajax real estate with The Gordon Brothers Team

Ajax sits on Lake Ontario between Pickering and Whitby, about 40 kilometres east of downtown Toronto. It is a family-oriented town of roughly 130,000 people with two GO Transit connections to Union Station, direct access to Highways 401, 412 and 407, and one of the longest continuous waterfront trails in the Greater Toronto Area.

Housing is mostly detached and semi-detached homes built from the 1970s onward, with newer subdivisions filling in the north end and a stock of larger custom homes closer to the lake in the south. Compared with the rest of Durham Region, Ajax detached prices sit in the middle: higher than Oshawa, roughly in line with Whitby, and a step below the parts of Pickering closest to Toronto. The Lakeside pocket of South Ajax is the exception, where proximity to the water carries a clear premium.

South Ajax. The pockets closest to Lake Ontario: Lakeside, Discovery Bay, Pickering Beach, Duffins Bay and Southwood. Close to Lakeside Park, Carruthers Marsh, Rotary Park and the waterfront trail. This is where the team has the deepest experience.

Central Ajax. Nottingham, Applecroft and the streets around the Ajax Community Centre and Ajax Downs. Established neighbourhoods, a mix of detached, semis and townhomes, walkable to schools and shopping.

West Ajax. Riverside and the streets running into Pickering Village along the Duffins Creek ravine, where Ajax meets Pickering. Older character homes near the creek alongside newer infill.

North Ajax. The growth area between Rossland Road and Highway 407, including Audley and Salem. Newer detached homes and townhomes, popular with commuters using the 407 and 412.

Buying. Homes and streets that look similar at first glance often are not. The team helps buyers understand how location, lot, ravine or lake proximity, and recent sales shape value, so you can move quickly and with confidence when the right home comes up.

Selling. Pricing in Ajax rewards a local read. The right number reflects your specific pocket and the homes you are actually competing with, not a town-wide average. The team handles preparation and staging guidance, marketing aimed at the right buyers, and negotiation.

They live here. Doug and Rich Gordon are based in the Lakeside neighbourhood of South Ajax. Their knowledge of the streets, the sales history and the way homes near the lake are evaluated is first hand.

Two decades in this market. The team has worked Ajax through several market cycles and knows how the town’s pockets behave differently.

A team, not one agent. Doug and Rich Gordon with Mel Da Silva and Dan Gregoire, operating with Revel Realty Inc., Brokerage, so someone is always available.
