Boundaries are an approximate description based on TRREB's Oshawa community map. For addresses near a boundary, please rely on the TRREB map, or just ask Ming.
Schools
Checking the Ontario Ministry of Education's public school information data, there is no public or Catholic school inside this community; use the school locators below to find the designated schools for an address.
School boundaries are set by street address and may be adjusted temporarily as enrolment grows; a school being inside the community does not mean every address is in its boundary. Please confirm with the DDSB school locator and the DCDSB school locator. School names, grades and addresses are from the Ontario Ministry of Education's public school information data (2024–25); schools too close to a community boundary to place with confidence are not listed, and French-language board schools are not covered on this page. This page does not rank schools.
Parks and recreation
- OpenStreetMap shows no named park that can be placed inside this community with confidence, so none is listed here; see the City of Oshawa parks map.
Names and locations of parks, libraries and other places are per OpenStreetMap, and only places clearly inside the community (at least about 120 metres from a boundary) are listed. Hours and amenities follow the latest notices from City of Oshawa and the local public library.
Getting around
- Transit: local buses are operated by Durham Region Transit (DRT); access to a GO station varies by location. Use the local transit and GO Transit trip planners for a specific address. This page does not invent unverified stations or routes.
GO station locations are checked against publicly published station positions. Schedules and routes change; please rely on the latest Durham Region Transit (DRT) and GO Transit timetables, and use a local trip planner for buses near a specific address.
Shopping and daily life
This page does not list supermarkets or malls that have not been checked against OpenStreetMap; please verify shops on the ground.
Housing types
(To be added: the mix of existing home types will be written once public census data that maps cleanly to this community's boundary is available. Statistics Canada's 2021 Census is published by dissemination area and census tract, which do not line up with TRREB's Northwood market boundary, so this page does not estimate the housing stock.) The by-type figures in "Recent sales and home prices" below are sales in that quarter, not the housing stock.
Recent sales and home prices
This section shows two kinds of data published by TRREB; please read them separately. The first is actual sales summarized in the quarterly community report. The second is the monthly MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) benchmark price, which describes a typical home. The quarterly report and the HPI are measured differently and cannot be added together. Where there are two or fewer sales, TRREB does not publish some price measures. These figures are for reference only and are not a guarantee of the value of any property.
This page does not show current listings or individual sale records. For recent sales on a particular street or home type, or a value estimate for your home, please contact Ming.

Compared with Oshawa (Q2 2026, all home types)
All community figures below are taken directly from the summary table of the same quarterly report. Northwood had 0 sales this quarter, so the report publishes no dollar volume, average, median or other price measures and this page makes no price comparison; there were 1 new listings and 1 active listings. The combined row adds up the rows that have figures for sales, dollar volume, new listings and active listings; the combined average is combined dollar volume ÷ combined sales, not a township-wide average published separately by TRREB.

Source: summary table of TRREB's Q2 2026 Oshawa community report (publicly released). *Combined sales, dollar volume, new listings and active listings are the sum of the community rows; the combined average of $717,661 is $374,619,140 ÷ 522, rounded to the dollar. Active listings are a point-in-time figure from the report. The report notes that quarterly community statistics may not match the quarterly sums of earlier TRREB publications.
MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) benchmark prices
TRREB's October 2026 HPI public tables include Oshawa's city-wide composite and by-type benchmark prices, but no separate row for Northwood, so this page lists only the city-wide figures and does not make up a community-level benchmark.
| Area | Home type | Benchmark price | Index | Year-over-year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oshawa (city-wide) | Composite | $694,400 | 360.0 | -6.76% |
| Single Family Detached | $745,800 | 350.8 | -6.45% | |
| Single Family Attached | $594,400 | 377.9 | -6.94% | |
| Townhouse | $474,400 | 375.9 | -13.27% | |
| Apartment | $404,300 | 358.1 | -6.04% |
