Space like this is hard to find at any price point. Sitting above the Newtonville Country Store, this large 2-bedroom plus den apartment offers an incredibly functional layout with room to actually live - not just exist. The open concept living and dining room flows effortlessly, giving you the kind of breathing room most apartments don't come close to, and the dining area can easily be converted into a third bedroom if the space calls for it. The eat-in kitchen is genuinely oversized, loaded with cupboard and counter space that makes cooking feel less like a chore and more like a choice. The primary bedroom is huge with large closets, and the den adds the flexibility to work from home, host guests, or finally have that dedicated space you've been looking for. In-suite laundry, parking for two cars, and a private backyard with a two-tier deck round out a package that checks every box. Located right on Highway 2 at Newtonville Road with the 401 less than a minute away - commuting couldn't be easier. Small-town charm with big-city access. Don't sleep on this one.

How this lease stacks up against the local rental market
Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?
· Are pets and small renovations (paint, hooks) allowed?
· When was the last rent increase, if there is a prior tenant?
Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $1,975/mo, this is priced below the typical 2-bedroom rent of ~$2,900/mo in Clarington. Well-priced rentals move fast — worth acting on. That said, let's check what's driving the lower ask: landlord flexibility, lease term restrictions, or simply a motivated landlord.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 47 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Clarington. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Clarington are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
About Rural Clarington
I know Rural Clarington well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Lease Terms to Negotiate
Don't just focus on the monthly rent — the lease terms matter just as much. I always advise my rental clients to clarify: what's included (parking, storage, utilities), the lease length options, the landlord's policy on renewals, and whether small personalizations like painting are permitted. These details can make or break your experience over 12–24 months.
