Markham Homes for Sale
York Region's tech-anchored city — strong schools, planned-community architecture, and the GTA's most diverse Asian-Canadian housing market.
Markham is the tech-anchored eastern half of York Region — 350,000 residents, home to Canadian headquarters of IBM, Huawei, AMD, and an active technology employment cluster in the Warden-Woodbine corridor. Geographically larger than Richmond Hill, the city covers everything from Unionville's 1800s heritage village to Cornell's 2010s New Urbanist planning to the Rouge National Urban Park on the eastern edge.
Housing spans a wide range. Family-suburban detached in Milliken Mills or Berczy runs $1.2M–$1.65M. Cornell's New Urbanist detached + townhome inventory lands $1.05M–$1.5M. Unionville's luxury-detached heritage-adjacent inventory trades $2M–$5M+. Cathedraltown is upscale-planned detached at $1.1M–$1.7M. Angus Glen's golf-estate community sits $2M–$4.5M. Most consistent characteristic across the city: strong public school catchments pull a consistent family-professional buyer base.

Which Markham community fits your brief?
Markham breaks into roughly four distinct housing markets. The luxury tier (Unionville heritage + Angus Glen golf-estate + Cathedraltown planned-upscale) sits $1.7M+ with distinct character: Unionville is walkable heritage, Angus Glen is gated-luxury feel, Cathedraltown is consistent European-planned architecture. Family-suburban mid-tier (Milliken Mills, Berczy, Markham Village) runs $1.2M–$1.7M on 36–50 ft lots. Cornell is the New Urbanist planning experiment on the east side — mixed density, grid streets, front porches — at $1.05M–$1.5M. The Markham Centre / Highway 7 corridor adds a growing condo tier for younger professionals and downsizers.
If schools are the priority, Unionville and Berczy have the strongest York Region catchments. If newer-build is the priority, Cornell or Cathedraltown. If luxury-with-character, Unionville's heritage-adjacent streets. If golf-estate luxury, Angus Glen. Each community page below goes deeper.
Markham — frequently asked

See community pages for accurate neighbourhood-specific numbers.
Why is Markham called Canada's Silicon Valley?
Because of the concentration of technology companies that have located Canadian headquarters in the city — IBM Canada (at Warden + 14th), Huawei Canada, AMD Canada, Motorola, plus long-established operations for GM Canada, Unilever Canada, and others. The Markham Convergence Centre and the broader 404 + 407 corridor employs a large share of Canada's tech workforce. The designation drives a specific buyer profile — dual-income tech-professional families — that supports pricing in the family-detached segment.
Which Markham community has the best schools?
Unionville and Berczy have the strongest catchments. Unionville HS is consistently in York Region's top tier (along with Bayview SS in Richmond Hill). Berczy's Pierre Elliott Trudeau HS is similarly above-average. Catholic options are strongest along the St. Augustine CHS + St. Robert CHS corridor. Cornell and Cathedraltown schools are solid but not top-tier.
How does Markham compare to Richmond Hill?
Similar price tier for luxury detached. Markham is geographically larger (350K pop vs 200K), has more consistently-strong tech employment, and pricing in the mid-tier communities (Cornell, Milliken Mills, Berczy) tends to be $50K–$150K below Richmond Hill equivalents. Richmond Hill has stronger Yonge-corridor transit access. Many families shortlist both; the decision often comes down to employer location (Markham for Warden/Woodbine tech corridor, Richmond Hill for downtown-oriented commutes).
