Like many people who grew up in Scarborough, Ranjana Nayar and her husband Ajay migrated east. They moved to Ajax after they married and came to love Durham Region. As Ajax started to get denser and they were ready for a new home, they looked to Oshawa. It was an easy commute to Nayar’s teaching job in Ajax, had extensive urban amenities and access to green spaces. It’s where they want to spend their retirement years.

They bought their first house in north Oshawa in 2016 and sold it nearly two years ago.
