Does Pickering Have Luxury Homes?

Ask ten people what they think a luxury home looks like, and chances are, you’ll receive ten different answers – maybe eleven if someone is undecided. To the more whimsical among us, the image pops up of a majestic mansion, likely on the waterfront, or perhaps with an indoor pool and impressive fountain just past the stone gates.
To others, it simply means a well-maintained property with an extra bathroom and square footage to spare. Some people imagine any house they could own rather than rent as a luxury home, and with real estate values as high as they are, they’re not wrong. Only one thing can be said for certain. Whatever your definition of upscale, chances are, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for right here in Pickering. In this post, we’ll explore just a few of your many options.

Pickering’s high-end real estate represents the epitome of opulent living, with houses that look like they should be on the cover of a magazine.
