Oshawa Real Estate
Oshawa is the largest city in Durham Region and one of the most active real estate markets east of Toronto. Once defined by its automotive heritage, today’s Oshawa is a fast-growing, increasingly young city anchored by Ontario Tech University, Durham College and a revitalized downtown — and that energy shows up in steady buyer demand across every price point.

Homes for sale in Oshawa
View all Oshawa listings
For buyers, Oshawa offers something Toronto simply can’t: genuine value. You’ll find solid post-war bungalows, family-sized detached homes, modern townhomes and a growing supply of condos, often for hundreds of thousands less than comparable homes closer to the city. For sellers, that same demand — fuelled by commuters, first-time buyers and investors — keeps well-presented homes moving.
Whether you’re buying your first place, upsizing for a growing family, or listing a home you’ve loved for decades, RJ Scarlett brings local, on-the-ground knowledge of Oshawa’s neighbourhoods to help you make a confident move.
Living in Oshawa
Oshawa pairs city amenities with lakeside calm. Lakeview Park and the Oshawa waterfront trail give you sand, marina views and kilometres of paved paths along Lake Ontario, while the Costco-anchored north end and the Oshawa Centre cover everyday shopping. Neighbourhoods like Centennial, O’Neill, Eastdale and Donevan each have their own character — from tree-lined mature streets to newer family subdivisions.
Commuters are well served by the Oshawa GO station, Highway 401 and the 407 ETR, putting downtown Toronto within reach while letting you come home to more space and a quieter street. With the Tribute Communities Centre, a busy arts and food scene downtown, and ongoing investment across the city, Oshawa has shed its old reputation and become one of the GTA’s genuine value stories.
