Central West contains several smaller, well-established neighbourhoods. RIverside is mostly residential, with some commercial properties, and a golf course. The Hermitage neighbourhood features large parks and open spaces. It is one of the older neighbourhoods in Ajax, and has a wide diversity of cultures. Westney Heights is a mainly residential area with a commercial district on Kingston Rd, which is the area's southern boundary, and it also features large parks. Westney Heights was one of the first areas to be developed in Ajax's expansion during the 1980s. Home to historic architecture and a quaint village atmosphere, the Village (also known as Pickering Village) is a unique and celebrated district of Ajax. It is located in the west end of the Town, along Highway 2. Once an original Quaker Settlement in the early 1800s, the area is now home to a number of restaurants, shops and professional services. The Village includes Ajax's only historic main street (Old Kingston Road).
