Illustration of the Whitby, Ontario skyline

Whitby combines a charming historic downtown, with local shops and restaurants, with growing communities like Brooklin, to the north, where new homes keep appearing every year. It's a very family-oriented city, with good GO Train access for those who work in Toronto but prefer to live in a calmer setting.

Frequently asked questions about Whitby

What makes Brooklin special within Whitby?

It's Whitby's fastest-growing area, with new homes, newly built parks, and its own village centre (Brooklin Village) with its own character.

Yes, the GO Train connects directly to Union Station; the ride is longer than from Pickering or Ajax, but many do it daily or hybrid.
