Clarkson detached homes for sale

Detached homes are the backbone of Clarkson, and they come in two clear flavours. North of Lakeshore, the 1950s to 1970s streets around Truscott Drive, Bromsgrove Road and Park Royal are ranch bungalows, side-splits and two-storey houses on wide suburban lots with mature trees, and many have been renovated or replaced. Park Royal, built in 1958, was an early subdivision with buried utilities, so you will notice the absence of poles. South of Lakeshore, toward Rattray Marsh and Meadow Wood Road, lots get larger and homes get grander, with custom rebuilds among the originals and some properties bordering the conservation lands. Ask for the survey, check for easements and confirm whether the lot falls within Credit Valley Conservation's regulated area before you plan an addition or pool. Older homes may carry original wiring, plumbing or oil-to-gas conversions, so budget for an inspection. Streets within a walk of the GO station and the village are the most competitive; streets near the Southdown Road industrial lands should be checked for traffic and noise at different hours.
