Woodlands Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Woodlands offers a fairly good selection of green spaces to enjoy. It is easy to reach parks in the neighbourhood since there are about 20 of them nearby for residents to discover. Finally, this part of the city is relatively quiet, due to the presence of few people out and about on the streets, although noise levels are higher closer to the railway line or Highway 401.

Transportation

Woodlands is especially car friendly. It is very easy to park, and most real estate listings are a very short drive from the closest highway, such as Highway 401. However, getting around by public transit is occasionally difficult in Woodlands. Nevertheless, house owners benefit from a few bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is typically around the corner. Woodlands is not very amenable to bicycling as this neighbourhood is home to fairly poor bicycling infrastructure, and the topography is not especially flat. Nevertheless, certain pleasant areas for cycling can be found. Getting around on foot is also not very popular in this part of Pickering, although meeting daily needs is convenient without a vehicle.

Housing

In Woodlands, many dwellings are single detached homes, but duplexes are also present in the housing stock. About 30% of properties in this area were built following the year 2000, while the majority of the remaining buildings were built in the 1960s and the 1980s. This neighbourhood offers mainly three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes. About 80% of the units in the neighbourhood are occupied by homeowners and 20% are rented.

Services

Daycares and schools are easy to reach on foot from any location in Woodlands. Regarding eating, it is especially easy to get to the nearest supermarket without needing a vehicle from most houses for sale in this neighbourhood. Likewise, there is commonly a restaurant or cafe in close proximity. It is also a rather short stroll to a decent selection of clothing stores.
