Harbourside Condominiums is Senator Homes’ four-storey complex at 650 and 680 Gordon Street in Port Whitby, finished in 2017, with suites of about 698 to 1,500 sq ft. Fees run about $0.51 per sq ft a month, and because it predates November 2018, most suites fall under Ontario’s 1.9% rent guideline for 2027.
This guide is for buyers, downsizers and renters looking at condos near Whitby harbour, and at Harbourside Condominiums on Gordon Street in particular. You will get the verified building facts, what the fees cover, what Whitby condos sell and rent for, and why rent control works differently here than in most newer Durham buildings.
Where is Harbourside Condominiums in Whitby and what is nearby?
Harbourside Condominiums is at 650 and 680 Gordon Street in Port Whitby, the harbour district at the south end of Whitby. A building-data website places it near Gordon Street and Victoria Street, close to Whitby Harbour and Lake Ontario. Other condo addresses sit on the same street, such as 660 and 670 Gordon Street, so check which building and corporation a listing belongs to.
The Town of Whitby describes Port Whitby Marina as a full-service marina, and notes that the Whitby Yacht Club has more than 300 slips. Kiwanis Heydenshore Park has a splash pad, a playground, covered picnic areas and beach access. For the wider area, read my guide to Port Whitby and the Ajax waterfront.
Day-to-day errands mostly need a car. A building-data website gives the location a Walk Score of 16 and a transit score of 20, so plan on driving for groceries unless you like long walks.
Who built Harbourside Condominiums and when?
Senator Homes built Harbourside, according to a building-data website, Strata and a building-data website. A building-data website shows the corporation registered on 31 August 2017, and Strata and a building-data website both list completion in 2017. It is a four-storey, mid-rise complex rather than a tower.
Strata and a building-data website list 252 suites across the complex, while one a building-data website summary gives 126, which may count a single building. Use the declaration in the status certificate for the exact count and to confirm which building your suite is in.
What suite types and sizes are at Harbourside?
A building-data website lists one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-den, two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-den suites. A building-data website shows sizes from about 698 to 1,322 sq ft, and a building-data website lists up to about 1,500 sq ft. Those are larger suites than in most new GTA towers, which is a big part of the appeal for downsizers.
A building-data website also notes 9-foot ceilings in many suites, in-suite laundry, lockers and parking. Confirm each of these for the exact suite, since features differ from unit to unit.
What amenities does Harbourside have?
This is not an amenity-heavy building. A building-data website lists a rooftop deck, a party room, a meeting room, a recreation room and visitor parking. Strata adds indoor parking and notes that barbecues are allowed. There is no pool or concierge listed on either site.
For many buyers that is a plus. Fewer amenities usually mean lower running costs, and the marina, the beach park and the waterfront trail do the job a big amenity floor would do elsewhere. Ask how the rooftop deck and party room are booked, and what the rules say about balcony barbecues.
How much are maintenance fees at Harbourside Condominiums?
Strata puts the average fee at about $0.51 per sq ft a month, against a Whitby average of about $0.67. In November 2026, two listings of about 1,200 to 1,399 sq ft showed fees of about $760 and $761 a month. A building-data website lists common elements, building insurance, parking and water in the fee; a building-data website says hydro, heat and air conditioning are not included.
A 2017 building is past its first reserve fund cycles, so the status certificate should show a track record. Look at how fees have changed in recent years and whether any special assessment has been discussed. My guide on what to look for in a status certificate lists the pages to read first.
Condo Valuation
What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

What do Whitby condos sell and rent for in 2026?
These are city-wide Whitby figures for all condo apartments, not Harbourside prices. Whitby is a small condo market, so a few sales can move the numbers.
| Measure | Whitby condo apartments |
|---|---|
| Median sold price, Jan–Oct 2026 | $536,000 (down 6.2% from $571,450) |
| Median sold price, Jan–Oct 2024 | $611,000 |
| Sales, Jan–Oct 2026 | 90 (up 36.4%) |
| Average days on market, Jan–Oct 2026 | 34 (37 in 2025) |
| October 2026: sales, median, sale-to-list | 6 sales, $484,100, 98% |
| Benchmark price, October 2026 | $497,700 (down 3.57% year over year) |
| Average one-bedroom rent, Q2 2026 | $2,340 (13 leases) |
| Average two-bedroom rent, Q2 2026 | $2,716 (14 leases) |
| Durham Region average two-bedroom rent, Q2 2026 | $2,533 (178 leases) |

Whitby held up better than its neighbours this year. Its condo median fell 6.2% while sales rose 36.4%, compared with median drops of about 13.6% to 14.3% in Pickering, Ajax, Oshawa and Clarington on the same REALM data. With only 13 to 14 leases behind each Whitby rent figure, I would also look at the Durham average before setting a rent. For a valuation view, see how much is my condo worth in Whitby or Oshawa, and for the bigger picture, my Whitby housing market 2027 outlook.
How do you commute from Harbourside to Toronto?
Whitby GO station is at 1350 Brock Street South, on the Lakeshore East line to Union Station. A building-data website describes it as a short drive from Gordon Street, so most residents will drive, cycle or take a bus to the train.
Check GO’s current timetable, parking and the walk or drive at your real commute hour before you rely on it.
Is Harbourside Condominiums rent controlled?
Yes, for most suites. Ontario’s rent increase guideline applies to units first occupied for residential purposes on or before 15 November 2018, and Harbourside was finished in 2017. The guideline for 2027 is 1.9%, so for most existing tenancies the rent can rise by no more than that in 2027 without approval from the Landlord and Tenant Board. Increases still need 12 months between them and 90 days’ written notice.
That makes Harbourside different from newer Durham towers, where rents are exempt. My post on the Ontario rent increase guideline for 2027 covers the details.
If you are buying to rent out, remember that the 1.9% cap applies to a sitting tenant for as long as they stay. A tenant paying below-market rent can stay for years, and you cannot raise it to market just because you bought the suite. Ask for the lease, the rent history and any notices before you firm up, and price the deal on the rent in place.
What are the pros and cons of living at Harbourside?
Pros
- Larger suites. Many units are over 1,000 sq ft.
- Low-rise living by the harbour. Four storeys, near the marina, beach park and lake.
- Moderate fees per square foot. About $0.51 per sq ft by Strata’s estimate.
- Rent control for tenants. The 2027 guideline of 1.9% applies to most suites.
Cons
- Car-dependent. Low walk and transit scores.
- Few amenities. No pool or concierge listed.
- Utilities on top. Hydro, heat and cooling are not in the fee, per Strata.
- Thin market. Whitby had only 6 condo apartment sales in October 2026.
Who is Harbourside best for, and should you buy or rent there in 2027?
Harbourside suits downsizers who want a larger suite in a quiet low-rise near the water, couples who drive, and renters who value rent control. It is a weaker fit for buyers who want a walkable main street or a full amenity package. If you are comparing it with newer Whitby buildings, my top 5 condos to buy in Oshawa and Whitby covers The Landing, The Rowe and Station No. 3.
For renters, a Harbourside lease can be one of the steadier deals in Durham. Because the guideline applies to most suites, an increase taking effect in 2027 is capped at 1.9%, while a tenant in a newer tower can face any increase. The trade-off is supply. With few suites listed at a time, you may wait for the right unit, so set an alert and have references, a credit report and proof of income ready.
For buyers, the Bank of Canada raised its rate to 2.50% on 28 October 2026 and prime is 4.70%, with the next decision on 9 December 2026. Get a rate hold before you shop.
Harbourside makes the most sense for an end user who wants space and the harbour at a Durham price. In a market this thin, every comparable sale matters, so I would pull every sale in the complex over the past two years and adjust for size, floor and parking rather than leaning on the city median. Check the reserve fund study closely, budget for your own utilities, and if you are a landlord, buy on the rent you can collect today.
What to do next
- Confirm the exact address, building and corporation for any suite you like.
- Get the status certificate, the reserve fund study and two years of fee history.
- Price your utilities, since hydro, heat and cooling are separate.
- Drive or walk to Whitby GO at your commute hour before you buy.
- If the suite has a tenant, ask for the lease, the rent history and any notices served.
