Ajax – a dynamic city that offers its residents all that they need and more. Townsgate – an intimate community of magnificent towns and semis located in the heart of downtown Ajax that offers homebuyers a chance to have it all!

This is your chance to buy an affordable home in a city that has everything you’ll need – right at your doorstep! Starting at $228,990, these townhomes and semis give you more bang for your buck. And, with five free appliances included, your buck goes a long way!

All the amenities that Ajax offers are close by. Stores such as Chapters, Canadian Tire, Winners, Old Navy, Home Depot, Loblaws and a Cineplex theatre are blocks away. You’ll also find plenty of quaint shops and great restaurants in the area. And, with Toronto to the west and Oshawa to the east, commuting to work or for a fun day out with the family is a short drive away.

Spend a sunny day outdoors – there’s no shortage of great things to do! Townsgate is right next to Miller’s Community Park, a natural greenspace with two baseball diamonds, two parks and a soccer field. If you feel like exploring the area, take a jog or a stroll down one of the many outdoor trails. For all of your fitness needs, the McLean Community Centre is close by, and offers its members recreational facilities like a swimming pool, a double gymnasium and an aerobics studio, just to name a few.

A vibrant and safe place to live, Townsgate affords its residents peace of mind. Its private tree-lined perimeter contains crescent streets that wind through the neighbourhood and lead you to Townsgate’s large central park. A serene, natural environment, this park is ideally located at the heart of the community, making it a perfect meeting spot for children and neighbours.

With so many sizes and designs to choose from, there’s something for everyone at Townsgate. These two- and three-bedroom townhomes come in two complementary styles – Canadian-style homes with French flair and classic regency-style homes. No matter which style you choose, you will receive the same luxury design elements, all-clay brick elevations and decorative iron railings. And, both styles are designed to include generously sized porches, balconies and large windows, and an attached garage at the rear with direct access to the house.

The luxury interior features that come with every townhome in Townsgate help put the finishing touches on this picturesque community.

In the kitchen, breakfast room, powder room, foyer and bathrooms, you’ll find imported ceramic tile flooring. The powder room is the picture of enchantment, with a pedestal sink, as well as the ceramic accessories that grace every bathroom in the house. In the ensuite, a roman tub enclosure is finished with ceramic tiles, and also includes a separate shower stall. And for a limited time, when you purchase a home at Townsgate, you’ll receive a Whirlpool tub in the ensuite at no extra charge!

Choose from a wide array of samples when picking out your choice of deluxe cabinetry and laminate countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms. And, your feet will be pampered by 35-oz. broadloom with quality underpad in all designated areas.

In addition to offering deep 41 and 50 ft. lots, conventional semis and unique detached semis (connected only at the garage), the community is close to a raft of amenities including Lake Ontario. Ajax residents appreciate access to water sport opportunities and one of the Waterfront Trail’s most pristine sections.

Eventually home to 350 families, The Meadows of Ajax is just minutes from Pickering and Whitby as well, plus both Highways 401 and 407 are convenient. Strategically situated on the west side of Westney Road, north of Rossland Road, the community itself will encompass schools and parks.

The subject of books and documentaries, the Town of Ajax has a history unique in Canada. It was founded in 1941 as the site of a wartime shell filling plant. Housing here was originally constructed for those who came from across Canada to work at Defence Industries Limited. Over the years, it has gone from being a bedroom community to one where residents can truly live, work and play.

The community plan for The Meadows of Ajax is charming, with streetscapes highlighted by heritage-style architectural touches that reflect the area’s proud history. Home designs incorporate features such as masonry detailing, peaked gables and inviting porches. Interiors will surround homeowners in luxury standards that include quality kitchen cabinets, rich ceramics, natural finish oak railings and pickets, plush broadloom and much more.

The 2,715 sq. ft. four-bedroom Fairhaven (Elevation B) is just one of the detached designs available here on a deep 41-ft. lot. This home presents a charming façade adorned with peaked gables that frame fishscale trim, and an inviting front porch with a railing and country style posts. Inside, the foyer offers a view to the formal parlor over a parapet wall, and the separate dining room is perfect for elegant entertaining. The open concept family room has a cosy gas fireplace, and is handy to the breakfast room and kitchen, which has a built-in pantry. The main floor laundry room is pure convenience, as is the powder room on this floor. Upstairs, the master bedroom encompasses a walk-in closet and an sumptuous ensuite complete with a corner oval tub and separate shower.

At The Meadows of Ajax, conventional semis are available in sizes from 1,420 to 1,670 sq. ft. and are priced from $212,990. Detached semis range in size from 1,450 to 1,840 sq. ft. and are priced from $228,990.
