According to the rankings, Blue Grass has everything a senior would need in a place to live, including lots of park space and a local passion for arts and culture.
North Oshawa neighbourhoods Samac and Taunton placed second and third, with Samac praised for its many parks and trails and Taunton lauded for its access to a modern recreation centre and a network of nearby hiking trails.
For purr-fect pet friendly ‘hoods, Centennial, located north of Oshawa’s downtown, was ranked #1. With numerous lush green spaces, paths and a trail along Oshawa Creek, this tranquil neighbourhood is considered a pet lover’s paradise.
