South Ajax
South Ajax real estate, from the team that lives here
Southwood, Pickering Beach and Lakeside each have their own character, but they share what makes South Ajax different: direct proximity to Lake Ontario, the Waterfront Trail, and a settled, established feel. Doug and Rich have raised their families in South Ajax, and the team has sold homes throughout the area for more than 20 years.
The pockets of South Ajax
Much of the team’s experience has been built in the Ajax and Whitby communities near Lake Ontario. Local real estate knowledge here is more than knowing where a neighbourhood begins and ends, it means understanding how location, lot characteristics, proximity to the lake, recent comparable sales and buyer demand affect the way an individual home is evaluated.
Southwood. Established homes on mature, tree-lined streets close to Lake Driveway and the waterfront trail, a quieter, settled pocket of South Ajax.
Pickering Beach. At the Ajax-Pickering border, cottage-era builds and newer homes sit side by side, and each relates to the lake a little differently.
Lakeside. Newer residential streets between Shoal Point Road and Lakeridge Road South, home to Doug, Rich and the team. Read the full Lakeside neighbourhood guide.
That local knowledge gives sellers useful context when preparing, pricing and bringing a property to market, and helps buyers understand differences between homes and streets that can look similar at first glance.
Why buyers choose South Ajax
Lakeside living without the cottage commute. Direct access to Lake Ontario, walking trails and waterfront parkland, minutes from your door.

A strong sense of community. A welcoming mix of long-time residents and new families across Southwood, Pickering Beach and Lakeside.
