Top 5 Areas for Commuters in Markham (Ranked)

Centennial opens the list thanks to its proximity to Centennial GO Station, conveniently located near Markville Mall. It's a solid commuter option with the added bonus of having one of Markham's major shopping hubs right on your doorstep. Not the most transit-rich area on this list, but a practical and accessible choice for everyday commuters.

Milliken earns its spot at number four by covering multiple bases. Residents have access to Milliken GO Station, Steeles Avenue, and Highway 404 — giving commuters both transit and driving flexibility. Whether you're heading downtown by train or navigating the 400-series highways by car, Milliken keeps your options open.

Mount Joy is the pick for families who want the best of both worlds — a quieter, residential feel without sacrificing commuter convenience. GO Train access makes daily trips into the city straightforward, and the neighborhood's calmer pace is a welcome trade-off for those who don't need to be right on a major highway. A great balance of lifestyle and transit.

Markham Village is one of the most well-rounded commuter areas on this list. With Markham GO Station nearby and convenient access to both Highway 7 and Main Street, residents here can commute by train or drive with equal ease. It's the kind of neighborhood that doesn't force you to choose between transit and road — you get both.

Unionville takes the top spot, and it's not particularly close. Direct access to Unionville GO Station, Viva Transit connectivity, and a quick link to Highway 407 make this the strongest all-around commuter location in Markham. Whether you're taking the train, hopping on rapid transit, or hitting the highway, Unionville gives you every option — and that multi-modal flexibility is exactly what puts it at number one.
