Rural Pickering Real Estate & Houses for Sale
The character of Rural Pickering is exemplified by its relaxed environment. It is easy to get to parks from the majority of locations in the neighbourhood and there are approximately 30 of them close by for residents to unwind in. This area is quiet overall, as the streets are generally peaceful - however noise can be problematic around Highway 407 or the railway line.
Transportation
Driving is a great means of transportation in this area. It is especially convenient to park. The bike is a sometimes poor mode of transportation in Rural Pickering because there are a good number of slopes, and the cycling network is not very well-developed. Traveling on foot is also not very feasible for home buyers in this neighbourhood since running common errands is very inconvenient without the use of a car.
Housing
Single detached homes and townhouses are the predominant housing type in Rural Pickering. Around half of properties in this part of the city were built after the year 2000, while most of the remaining buildings were constructed pre-1960 and in the 1960s. This neighbourhood is primarily composed of three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes. Roughly 80% of the population of this neighbourhood own their home and the remainder are renters.
