The South Ajax market at a glance
South Ajax is everything roughly south of Bayly Street, running down to Lake Ontario. Its defining feature is the waterfront: about seven kilometres of continuous public parkland and the Ajax Waterfront Trail. Because the shoreline is all public, no home sits on private lakefront, but proximity to the water, the trail and the parks still carries a clear premium.
Homes here span several decades. Laura’s recent South Ajax sales were built between 1974 and 1988, so the premium comes from the lake, the trail and the parks more than from new construction. Prices sit at the top of the Ajax range, above the established subdivisions in Central and North Ajax.
Discovery Bay & Duffin’s Bay
Discovery Bay. A mix of detached two-storeys and bungalows on quiet crescents, walkable to schools, parks and the lake.
Duffin’s Bay. The streets around Duffins Creek and Rotary Park, a range of detached homes with easy access to the marsh, the trail and Highway 401.
