Choosing between a three-bedroom house and a three-bedroom townhouse
At the three-bedroom size the real decision in Whitby is often house versus townhouse, not town versus town. A 1970s detached in Pringle Creek gives you a driveway for two cars, a lot you can fence for a dog and a basement you may one day register as a second unit, but it brings a roof, furnace and windows of its own to maintain. A freehold townhouse up in Taunton North or Brooklin brings a newer kitchen, a garage and a smaller yard, sometimes with a POTL road fee for the shared lane. A condo row in Rolling Acres hands the exterior to a corporation, and in return you carry a monthly fee and hand your lawyer a status certificate. Commuters should also weigh where each option sits relative to Dundas Street, where Durham Region Transit's PULSE buses run toward the Ajax and Oshawa GO stations, and to the Brock Street corridor that leads to the Whitby GO.
