Lifestyle

Transportation

Driving is very often the preferred approach to get around in this area. The majority of homes for sale are a short car ride from the nearest highway, such as Highway 401, and it is especially convenient to park. However, public transit users may have limited options in this area as a result of the infrequent service. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines crossing the neighbourhood, and the nearest bus stop is generally very close. This area is not very convenient for those who travel by foot because few common errands can be run without the use of a car. It is also difficult to travel by bicycle in this area because bicycling is rendered arduous by the often sloping topography, and there are very few bike lanes.

Services

Some home buyers in West Shore may have the option to purchase groceries by walking, while others will have to turn to another means of transportation. There are a limited number of opportunities for those who value close by restaurants. Regarding education, it is a rather short walk to access daycares and primary schools from any location in West Shore. However, there are no high schools in this part of Pickering.

Character

West Shore offers a calm ambience and will appeal to those who enjoy spending time in green spaces. This part of Pickering is reasonably quiet, as the streets are quite tranquil - although that is not the case closer to one of the railway lines or Highway 401. Finally, although the neighbourhood is not home to any parks, green spaces are especially well-located in nearby neighbourhoods, which makes it easy to access them.
