From the listing brokerage
Who says a townhouse can't live large? Clearly, they haven't seen 73 Cornell Park Avenue! With 1,914 sq. ft., a fabulous corner lot and windows on three sides, this Cornell Village home has space, sunlight and personality to spare. Start with the wide, welcoming front porch, then step inside to 10-ft ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors and architectural details worth a second look: turret-shaped rooms, arched windows and art niches. The generous living room handles a crowd with ease, yet has cozy corners for quieter conversations. A formal dining room, complete with its own art niche, is ready for guests. In the kitchen, brand-new stainless steel appliances, granite counters, under-cabinet lighting and a pantry closet make everyday life easy. The granite island and breakfast bar? Consider it command central! Just beyond, the sun-filled family room has a gas fireplace and walkout to a south-facing backyard with wood deck, Japanese cherry tree, low-maintenance perennials, and gas BBQ hookup. Upstairs are three roomy bedrooms, including a primary suite with double door, a coffered ceiling and a delightful treehouse-like feel. Its ensuite offers a double vanity, soaker tub and separate shower. Need more room? The finished basement delivers a rec room, a hobby room with laminate floors ready for your next creative project, plus a bedroom with window and double closet, sitting area and laundry. Carpeting and pot lights finish the other lower-level living spaces. A detached one-car garage rounds things out. And the location? Cornell Village delivers! Charming streets, parks and trails, nearby Cornell Village Public School and Bill Hogarth Secondary School, Cornell Community Centre & Library, Markham Stouffville Hospital, shops and restaurants along Bur Oak Avenue, Cornell Bus Terminal and easy access to Highway 7 and the 407. A quick drive to the shops and cafes of Main Street Markham and Markville Mall. Not your average townhouse. Not even close.

What it costs to buy 73 Cornell Park Avenue
At the asking price of $938,000, a buyer in Markham pays Ontario land transfer tax on closing. The City of Toronto is the Ontario municipality that charges a municipal land transfer tax of its own, so there is no second tax here.
| Asking price | $938,000 |
|---|---|
| Ontario land transfer tax | $15,235 |
| First-time buyer refund, if you qualify | up to $4,000 |
| Minimum down payment | $68,800 |
The down payment figure is the federal minimum: 5 percent of the first $500,000 and 10 percent of the rest. A lender can ask for more. These figures use the asking price, so they change if you pay more or less. The tax is worked out at the published rates for a home with one or two single family residences and your lawyer confirms the final amount. Legal fees, title insurance and adjustments are extra: our closing costs guide lists them. This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Confirm the figures with a lawyer or accountant. You can change the price in our land transfer tax calculator and our mortgage calculator.
What it costs to own each month
| Property tax (2026) | $5,123 a year, about $427 a month |
|---|
That is before a mortgage payment, home insurance and utilities. These are the figures on the listing, so check the current tax bill before you rely on them.
How the asking price compares
TRREB's Market Watch recorded 30 freehold townhouse sales in Markham in September 2026, at a median of $918,490 and an average of $977,959. This home is listed at $938,000, which is $19,510 above that median.
A city-wide median covers every size, age and neighbourhood, so it is a reference point and not a valuation of this home. Lot, size, condition and location all move the price. Our September 2026 market report and our Markham house prices page have the figures for each home type.
What to check before you make an offer
- Book a home inspection. An inspection looks at the parts of a house you cannot judge at a showing. Our guide explains what a home inspection covers and misses.
- Ask for the survey. The listing gives the lot as 8.23 by 31.72 metres. If the seller has a survey, check the lot lines, fences and any easements against it.
- Confirm what stays. Have the appliances, fixtures and any rented equipment written into the offer.
- Confirm the parking. The listing shows 3 parking spaces.
- Get your financing in writing. A lender looks at the property tax as well as the price.
- See it in person. The listing has a virtual tour, but photos do not show noise, light at different hours or the condition of the roof, the basement and the yard.

Questions about Cornell
What is a rear lane garage and does it matter?
Your garage opens onto a lane behind the house instead of the street. It makes the streetscape far more attractive and it means winter snow clearing on that lane is your job. Some people love it, some find it a daily annoyance.
Is Cornell a good place for a first home?
It is one of the better options in Markham. Townhome stock is plentiful, the housing is newer so maintenance is lower and the grid layout makes the neighbourhood easy to get around on foot.
How is the commute downtown?
Most people drive west to a GO station or use the Highway 7 rapid transit corridor. Cornell is on the eastern edge of the city, so the commute is longer than from Unionville or Milliken Mills.
Does living near the hospital cause noise?
Ambulance traffic is a genuine consideration on the streets closest to the hospital. It is not a problem across the whole neighbourhood. Visit the specific street at different times before you decide.
Are the lots small?
Generally yes. The trade-off in a new urbanist plan is less private yard for more public street life and green space. If a big back yard is your priority, look at Markham Village or Angus Glen.
Is there much resale supply?
Cornell has a lot of near identical plans, which makes pricing unusually transparent and makes standing out as a seller harder. Presentation matters more here than in most Markham neighbourhoods.
