Ajax as an Investment Market
Ajax’s rental vacancy rate remains extremely low, driven by strong population growth and limited rental stock. Legal basement apartments in Ajax detached homes generate strong rental income — often $1,500–$2,000/month — providing meaningful mortgage offset for owner-occupants and solid cash flow for pure investors.
