The Neighbourhood
Executive Markham, Mid-Transformation
For decades, Buttonville was defined by executive homes on established streets and the small airport that gave the community its name. The airport closed to flight operations in 2023 and its lands entered long-term redevelopment planning, making Buttonville one of the GTA's more interesting "what's next" stories.
The fundamentals have not waited: a central position at Woodbine and 16th, Highways 404 and 407 minutes away, and Unionville's and Cachet's amenities next door.
- Executive detached homes on established streets
- Highway 404 and 407 in minutes
- Unionville and Cachet amenities nearby
- Townhomes for move-up and downsizing buyers
- Long-term redevelopment of the airport lands
Buyers will ask about the airport lands at the first showing. A seller who presents the current planning status factually, verified with the City of Markham, projects confidence. Speculation in either direction costs credibility and money.

A $1.6 million market expects design-level staging and cinematic media. The standard: selling a luxury home.
