Ajax or Pickering? WHY?

Question

So my fiance got an awesmoe job in Toronto. We live in St. Catharines right nowso not too far away but here's the thing. We both refuse to live IN toronto. We want a suburb. We HATE mississauga (he's lived there before) Oakville is FAR too expensive. We could afford it, just think it's a rip off and refuse too. burlington is starting to get a little far out. So we decided to move to the other side. We're thinking Pickering or Ajax.

Anyone give me any tips on these cities? I've only been to ajax on the go train and didn't get off. lol. never been to pickering. Which should be look at?

Thanks

Answer 1

I'd pick both if I could, both are great!

Answer 2

That all depends on where in Toronto he is working.  Both could easily be a 2 hour commute!
