Housing on file: Brooklin

Brooklin grew from a village on Highway 12 into one of Whitby's busiest growth areas. The historic core around Baldwin Street keeps older homes, while large new subdivisions spread north and west since the 2000s, many with finished basements and rough-ins.

Around Baldwin Street, Brooklin's old village still keeps houses dating to the 1800s and early 1900s, while the newer subdivisions north of Winchester Road date from the 2000s onward.

Newer homes often have rough-ins and are prime candidates for basement bathrooms. Older homes in the core can need repiping and sewer repairs.

Faults we meet on these streets

  • Builder-grade fixtures failing in the first decade
  • Basement bathroom rough-ins being finished
  • Sump pumps working hard in new clay lots
  • Water softener installs on newer homes
