Housing in Uxbridge
Uxbridge is a small rural township where eighty-one per cent of dwellings are detached and a fifth predates 1961. A large share sits on private wells and septic systems outside the village, which is the difference between a routine inspection and a specialised one. It also has among the longest commutes in the region, which is the trade being made.

What to check before you buy in Uxbridge
Raised by the housing stock above, not by any particular house. Each one is a question to ask rather than a problem to expect.
- Kitec fittings, if it was plumbed in the late 1990s or 2000sA fifth or more of the housing here dates from the years when Kitec plumbing was installed. The fittings are usually brass in orange or blue pipe, most visible under a sink or at the water heater. It was the subject of a class action settlement and it is something a condominium corporation will know about its own building.
- What was added, and whether it was permittedIn a neighbourhood this detached, a large share of the houses have been added to or finished below grade at some point. The City's building records will say what was permitted. An unpermitted addition is not automatically a problem to walk away from, but it is a problem to know about rather than inherit.

Where these numbers come from
the 2021 Census of Population, tabulated by the Statistics Canada as Census Profile, 2021 Census of Population, with neighbourhood names and boundaries from 2021 Census Subdivision Cartographic Boundary File. Retrieved September 20, 2026. The City publishes both packages with their licence recorded as "Statistics Canada Open Licence".
These are aggregate figures for a whole neighbourhood from a census taken in 2021, so they lag the market and they describe no individual home. Housey is not a real estate board and this is not MLS data: for what a specific house is worth today, ask a realtor.
