The Liverpool neighbourhood is in north central Pickering. The West Duffins Creek, the Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Corridor within the hydro transmission corridor to the north, and Pine Creek offer plenty of natural green space and wooded areas. Largely residential, Liverpool is also home to a hydro transformer station in the northern region, as well as retail and commercial services areas along Kingston Road and at the Dixie Road and Finch Avenue intersection. Development in Liverpool began in the 1970s, and houses are mostly single-detached, with some townhome complexes. The area has easy access to Highway 401.
