Claremont - Pickering's historic country village

Claremont is a historic rural village in north Pickering, sitting on the Pickering / Markham / Uxbridge boundary roughly 25 minutes north of Pickering GO. The village core is centred on Central Street and includes a heritage main street with original 19th-century buildings, a community centre, a public school, and small village shops.

Surrounding Claremont is some of the most desirable rural real estate in the GTA - country estate lots, working farms, hobby farms and conservation areas. Properties here are typically on well and septic, with lots ranging from 1 acre to substantially larger parcels. The character of homes varies from heritage farmhouses to modern custom estates.

Claremont's rural character is reinforced by its proximity to major conservation areas - the Greenwood Conservation Area, Glen Major Forest and the Walker Woods - and the Trans Canada Trail which passes through the village. For families and individuals who want true country living within a 30-45 minute drive of downtown Toronto, Claremont is one of the closest authentic options.

From a transit and access perspective Claremont is rural - there is no GO service in the village itself, but Hwy 407 is a 10-15 minute drive south, and the major employment districts of Markham, Vaughan and the Seaton Innovation Corridor are within driving distance.

From a real estate perspective Claremont is a small, specialist market. Country property transactions involve specific considerations - well water, septic systems, larger inspections, longer commute trade-offs, sometimes severance opportunities. The Krzewski Group works this market with the right partners - rural specialist inspectors, well and septic professionals, surveyors - to make sure our clients' transactions close cleanly.
