Next GTA boom communities
Durham set to become next GTA growth area
Brace yourself, Ajax and Seaton. Hold on to your hat, Pickering. The train is steaming out of the station and you are in for the ride of your life. According to those in the know – Greater Toronto's home builders – these municipalities are poised to be Greater Toronto's next big, well, Milton. (Population-wise, that is.)
Last week, Statistics Canada released new figures showing that sleepy little Milton's population had burgeoned by 71.4 per cent over five years. In 2001, the bucolic burb had some 31,500 residents. By 2005, the population had spiralled to 54,000, making Milton Canada's fastest-growing community. What makes Milton such an attractive place for homeowners to set down roots is its easy access to jobs in Mississauga, Brampton and Toronto.
Now, which Greater Toronto suburb will become the newest boomtown in the next Canadian census, Greater Toronto's housing experts were asked? Come on down Ajax, East Gwillimbury and Seaton in North Pickering. Oshawa and Clarington – indeed, much of Durham – are also on the verge of a housing boom, they said.
