CITY GUIDE
PICKERING, ONTARIO
Pickering lies along the shore of Lake Ontario near the communities of Toronto, and Whitchurch-Stouffville. The city has a population of over 88,000 people and covers over 231 square kilometres in the province’s southeastern section. Pickering’s proximity to Toronto provides residents with additional options for employment and amenities.

Older single-family homes, vacant land, and commercial space can all be found in the southern section of Pickering near Lake Ontario.

Average rent costs in the city are $810 for a bachelor apartment, $950 for a one-bedroom apartment, $1,100 for a two-bedroom apartment, and $1,300 for a three-bedroom (or more) apartment. Overall, the average rent cost is around $1,200 a month. Rent costs have increased slightly over the past few years, with bachelor apartments seeing the largest rent increase in that period. Rent costs tend to be lowest for units in buildings built before 1960.
