About Markham Real Estate
Markham is one of the GTA's fastest-growing and most affluent municipalities, located immediately north of Scarborough in York Region. Known for its strong tech sector (IBM Canada, AMD, Huawei, and hundreds of startups call Markham home), top-ranked public and private schools, and well-planned communities, Markham consistently attracts families, professionals, and investors. The city spans everything from the historic Main Street Unionville village — with its heritage storefronts and annual festivals — to the modern high-rise condos and mixed-use developments around Markham Centre and Highway 7. Transit is expanding with the planned Yonge North Subway Extension and existing GO service from Unionville and Markham stations.
Popular Markham Neighbourhoods
Unionville
Markham's most recognizable neighbourhood, centred around the heritage Main Street. Tree-lined streets, detached homes ranging from 1970s to newer custom builds, and some of the top-rated schools in Ontario. Premium pricing reflects the desirability.
Cornell
A newer master-planned community in northeast Markham featuring a mix of detached homes, semis, and townhouses with walkable streets, parks, and the Cornell Community Centre. Popular with young families looking for newer builds at relatively moderate prices.
Berczy Village
A sought-after enclave between 16th Avenue and Elgin Mills, known for its curving streets, mature trees, and large detached homes. Excellent schools (Stonebridge, Unionville Meadows) and a strong sense of community.
Cathedraltown
Distinctive architecture inspired by European styling, located near the intersection of Major Mackenzie and Woodbine. A mix of detached homes, townhouses, and condos with convenient highway access.
What to Expect in the Markham Market
Markham's average home prices tend to run higher than Scarborough, reflecting the municipality's reputation for schools and safety. Condos start in the mid-$400,000s, townhouses range from $800,000 to $1.1 million, and detached homes typically fall between $1.2 million and $2.5 million depending on neighbourhood, lot size, and age. Demand from buyers relocating within the GTA and from newcomers to Canada keeps the market competitive year-round.
