Centennial, Oshawa

Centennial detached homes for sale

Detached houses are the bulk of Centennial. The 1960s and 1970s streets nearest Rossland Road West and Simcoe Street North hold brick bungalows, raised bungalows and side-splits with three bedrooms, single garages and lots in the 50 to 60 foot range; the 1980s streets toward Stevenson and Taunton add four-bedroom two-storeys with double garages, and a thin band of 1990s and early 2000s builder homes runs along Taunton Road West. Basements are often finished, sometimes with separate entrances that were added long before Oshawa's current second-unit rules, so ask for permits. What to check: original aluminum wiring in some early-1970s houses, galvanized or Kitec plumbing in older or renovated homes, roofs and windows on their second or third cycle, and the grading on ravine lots. Mature trees are a selling point and a sewer-line risk, so budget for a camera inspection of the drain.

Questions people ask about Centennial

What era are most detached homes in Centennial?

Mostly 1965 to 1990. The blocks near Rossland Road West and Simcoe Street North are the oldest, with bungalows and side-splits, and the two-storey subdivisions toward Stevenson Road North and Taunton Road West filled in through the 1980s. A small number of late-1990s and early-2000s houses stand along the Taunton frontage.

Can I add a basement apartment to a Centennial house?

Oshawa permits additional dwelling units in detached houses where the zoning and Ontario Building Code requirements are met, and many bungalows and raised bungalows here have side entrances that make the conversion practical. A registered unit needs a building permit, fire separation, egress and parking, so price the work before assuming rental income.

Which Centennial streets have the largest lots?

Look at the earliest streets off Rossland Road West and the crescents that back onto Cedar Valley Park and the Oshawa Creek, where pie-shaped and ravine lots are common. Later 1980s streets nearer Taunton Road West are more uniform, roughly 40 to 50 feet wide, with the house taking a bigger share of the lot.
