5 Neighbourhoods to Avoid When Moving to Oshawa 

Very informative..

Good accurate info, I moved to Durham Region in 1992 and rented in Whitby on the Oshawa border to save for a home and watch the areas to buy. I know lots of good people in both areas however I picked Whitby just because of the various bad pockets in Oshawa and the homes were not much cheaper. Whitby has a few areas I avoided like White Oaks but for the most part the whole town was equal. If I had to do it again I would stick with Whitby or go east of Oshawa. The difference between the two towns as described in the newspaper Whitby was a commuter town to the GTA while Oshawa revolved more around GM. If Oshawa got rid of the Meth clinic and homeless people downtown it could be a vibrant area but I have not seen a lot of progress in 30 years.

I am so pleased you have addressed the windfields area. We got out of there last year and thank god. We seen police drug busts and my teenage daughter was followed home by men in a car on 2 occasions. Our son has also been bullied at northern dancer school and still desperately trying to find him a nicer school :( I honestly feel windfields is going to get a lot worse over 10 years :(

I agree with all the areas that you have mentioned. However, I've lived in 2 apartment buildings on Nonquon Rd and was leery about moving here in the beginning I believe that the area has been improved over the last 10 years, Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the video. Please is Simcoe North street area safe, because my family and I will be moving to Oshawa in August and my lectures will be at 11 Simcoe North street.

Great information!

Thanks for the video, very informative! What is your opinion on the O’NEILL neighbourhood? Specifically north of Adelaide, south of Hill Croft St between Simcoe and Ritson. I’m not from Oshawa but am open to learning more about the neighbourhood.

How about Bloor street west area near Go Station?

We were interested in the Habitat for Humanity townhomes on Normandy St. However, I'm unsure of this area. How is this street and the surrounding areas? Is it good to raise small kids here?

Hello, I will go to oshawa to work for three months in the Ontario Tech University (business and IT faculty). Could you help me please? I need a suggestion about the best zone to live near of the campus...

I grew up in the south end, (south of the tracks) I lived on Oxford st. I loved growing up in that area. I still go back to see how much it’s changed but I still feel safe going down there. Would I move back? No, I love living in the country. But so many great memories

Thanks for sharing! what are your thoughts about Ballard st.?

What us the Waverley Road area like

This woman knows her homework .its facts. Keep up all the great work

yes would like to see best pockets of oshawa

My personal experience with an area she mentioned, which was Anderson ave, which was my old house i lived in for 7 years, was hell. There was a lot of crime in the area, Oh and a homeless person broke into my apartment, the neighbors were rude, it is not safe at all, you can't even go to the corner store because you might get jumped.

I recently moved to oshawa.. I stay near the delpark homes centre

What good parts no wires good

Central Oshawa / Rotary park area on the map you gave should really go further in all directions by a block or 2. most of downtown is not even close to safe and more of an open air mental/drug/disease asylum. even just a few blocks north of downtown central is a completely different story... i agree with much of what you said but its truth that the criminals and homeless etc are all happy to (and often do) walk a few blocks past the "bad areas" and the closer you get to the hospital the better things get.

Donevan is good area pl tell me

💪

Windfields area is the new Brampton.

Subed!!

you got my sub, like and comment :)

How about Llyod St nearby Oshawa Mosque, and Oshawa Blvd

As long as i lived here south Oshawa was known as the SOB section "South Of Bloor" Oshaws lakefront is a dump no water access for boats and industrial

I'm from Oshawa 1950's. Still a really good city including south Oshawa.

Good morning ji, mam

You had pretty much all the neighborhoods bang on except the rideou area part , kind of seemed a bit bias since there was no reason given to avoid there.... I lived in that part a good portion of my life and because it is a complex housing area its automatically not worth living in ??? There isnt any undesireables in the area the community tends to help each other out , there is a a retirement home right on the corner of park and Saguenay in very close proximity to 4 schools 5 if you go to a catholic school its a stones throw away from the Oshawa centre , Fernhill park where the local soccer team used as its home field ... None of that was said just this area here bad is pretty much all you said about it without giving any details .. the local convenience store the Pantry is always friendly and its a 5 min walk from the trail and childrens arena . Out of alot of the areas in Oshawa that surrounding area isnt no where as bad and i dont think it warrants a simple just stay away from that area when you went into details on all the other ones , just seemed bias and like its actually worse then the others , sorry for the rant but for those who think its a really bad area it is not and has alot of pros , affordable living, being right next every shopping amenity, close proximity to multiple schools so there are options. Compared to even the high end north where it costs you an arm and a leg and unless you have a vehicle have fun getting anything you might want without a 30 min walk or a couple bus rides .

I was thinking moving to quebec st 😮

Oshawa Generals

OH PLEASE! I lived on Glenn St. And It was fine. And "Feeling" comfortable walking around is different than FACTS. Your feelings about the area is wrong. Walked around that area ALL the time when I lived there and still do when I visit and it's still a nice area.

I live in oshawa avoid all areas it's getting worse nothing is being done to fix it!

dirty shwa will never change

It feels bad that the very people LIVING in x or y town avoid their homeless. Homeless are people, just like you. Just like anybody else. It seems to me that we need to make a bigger effort at understanding why people reach homeless levels. People that have an adiction are ill and need help, people that fall in adiction are people that didnt know how to cope with trauma, they could have lost all of their family, friends, etc. Also, in Canada, I've seen that homeless tend to be the native americans, which endured genocide among many other calamities. I would instead look and point out the hyper-individualistic traits of white settlers or "north americans", such as real state, capitalism, pathriarchy, etc, avoiding taking responsability for homeless and minority groups, etc.
