Markham is a dynamic city where tech campuses, historic streetscapes, and leafy parks live side by side. Commuters appreciate frequent rail and bus connections to Toronto, while locals flock to the café-lined sidewalks of Unionville or the family-friendly streets of Cornell. Housing options run the gamut—from modern condos to established detached homes—giving newcomers and long-time residents plenty of choice.
Weekends are easy to fill. Art lovers explore rotating exhibitions at the Varley Art Gallery of Markham, while history buffs step back in time at the Markham Museum. For live performances, the Flato Markham Theatre hosts everything from orchestral concerts to comedy. Nature is close at hand, too: trails and wetlands unfurl inside Rouge National Urban Park, offering paddling, birding, and quiet picnic spots. Shopping and dining are anchored by the refreshed CF Markville, with global eats scattered across the city’s plazas and main streets.
Schools are a major draw. Families benefit from strong programs through the York Region District School Board and the York Catholic District School Board. For postsecondary studies, the new York University Markham Campus delivers cutting-edge programs right in the city’s emerging downtown.
