You are also about 45 minutes from Pearson International Airport which is Canada’s largest international airport. Whitby is also home to THREE Post Secondary Education Institutes with Durham College, the University of Information Technology (UOIT),  & Trent University Durham.

HOUSING NEEDS
Whitby is apart of Durham Region which has been experiencing tremendous growth. It is estimated that the region will need over 89,000 new homes by 2031, but will only be able to deliver an estimated 65,000 leaving a shortage of over 24,000 homes. This will lead to increased demand which will put upwards pressure on real estate values and rent prices.
