This area will also appeal to people who want to live in a compact community because it is reasonably walking-friendly; meeting daily needs is easy without a car, and a fair number of businesses of different types can be found as well. Getting around by public transit is at times challenging in this part of Markham. Thankfully, there is the Milliken and Unionville with access to the Stouffville. House owners have access to approximately 30 bus lines, and most properties are very close to a bus stop. In contrast, this area is a very good part of Markham for moving around by car. Accessing a parking spot is quite easy, and many real estate listings are a rather short drive from the closest highway, such as Highway 407.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before you
call it home.

What do the location scores measure?

Local Logic supplies individual access and character scores on a 0–5 scale for the recorded coordinates. Consider each measure separately; we do not calculate an overall livability rating.

Are the distances walking times?

No. Distances are straight-line measurements from the project reference. Open directions to check a walking, cycling, transit or driving route.

Does a nearby school guarantee admission?

No. Confirm attendance boundaries, programs, capacity and registration requirements with the relevant school board.

Do the demographic figures describe future residents?

No. They describe the existing population in the provider’s surrounding study area. They do not predict the buyers or future residents of this project.

SOURCES & METHODOLOGY

A guide with a clear point of reference.

Prepared by Team Arora. Scores, neighbourhood descriptions, school records, places and demographic information are supplied by Local Logic. Requests are cached for up to 24 hours; underlying source periods may be older. Provider neighbourhood labels may differ from builder descriptions. Missing data remains unavailable.

Recorded coordinates: 43.8407612, -79.32126509999999. Amenity queries use a 2.5 km radius; school results retain the provider’s school-search coverage. Distances use the returned straight-line measurement, or are calculated directly between coordinates when absent. The project page includes the existing map; Google provides the linked directions. Verify current place details, boundaries and routes before making a decision.
