Pickering combines established neighbourhoods along Lake Ontario, like Bay Ridges and West Shore, with one of the largest and newest planned communities in the GTA: Seaton, in the north end of the city. It's an option that appeals to families who want nature nearby, lakeside trails, and still a reasonable budget compared to Toronto or the west GTA.
