Highcrest

HOUSING DEMAND: Whitby is part of the rapidly growing Durham Region, which is projected to need over 89,000 new homes by 2031 but is likely to deliver only around 65,000. This anticipated shortage of over 24,000 homes will increase housing demand, likely pushing property values and rental rates higher.
CONNECTIONS & EDUCATION: Whitby is well-connected, with access to Highways 401, 407, and 412, as well as GO Transit and Durham Regional Transit, making it easy to travel throughout the region. The city is also only 45 minutes away from Pearson International Airport, Canada’s largest airport. Whitby is home to three post-secondary institutions: Durham College, the Ontario Tech University (OTU), and Trent University Durham.
POPULATION GROWTH & ECONOMIC OUTLOOK: Whitby, with a population of over 137,000, is expected to grow to more than 193,000 by 2031. Employment opportunities are also projected to expand from 80,000 to 112,000 jobs within the same timeframe. This surge in population and job growth will make Whitby an increasingly attractive place to live, driving demand for housing.
