Which Markham neighbourhoods have the most detached homes?

Berczy Village, Wismer, Cathedraltown, Box Grove and Angus Glen are mostly detached, with freehold townhomes and semis in all but Angus Glen. Each neighbourhood guide has the TRREB detached price.

How do I find out which school serves a Markham address?

Ask the York Region District School Board or the York Catholic District School Board for the exact address. Boundaries can change, so confirm before you make an offer.

Where is the most affordable house in Markham?

It depends on the type. Freehold townhouses in Greensborough and Cornell had some of the lower TRREB medians of the neighbourhoods on this site in early 2026. Each guide has the figures by property type.

Best Markham Neighbourhoods for Families (2026)

When a household needs more room, the search usually comes down to three things: the type of house, the price of that type and the school boundary. The neighbourhoods below are the ones in Markham with the most detached, semi-detached and freehold townhome stock.

School boundaries are set by the York Region District School Board and the York Catholic District School Board and they can change. Confirm the boundary for the exact address with the board before you make an offer, rather than relying on a neighbourhood name.
