How Whitby's high end differs by pocket
A Brooklin estate home is usually a large two-storey from the last twenty years on a wide lot, judged on finish, the size of the lot and its distance from the arterial roads that the town's growth is bringing north. An Ashburn or Myrtle property is judged on land: acreage, outbuildings, the well and septic, and what the Oak Ridges Moraine plan allows. In Port Whitby the premium is the walk to the harbour and the view, and the question is the age of the house behind it. Downtown Whitby's heritage homes are valued for detail and lot depth, with heritage designation a matter for your lawyer. Ask which of these you are buying before comparing asking prices, because the same figure buys very different things a few kilometres apart.
