Living in Bullock —
Markham's Best-Kept Family Secret
Tucked between the historic character of Old Markham Village and the 121-hectare Milne Dam Conservation Park, Bullock is a mature, family-rooted community of large-lot homes, top-ranking schools, and unbeatable walkability. Locals will simply tell you: this is Old Markham — and they mean it as the highest compliment.
Old Markham at Its Finest — Large Lots, Deep Roots, Real Community
Bullock is a neighbourhood that locals and long-time Markham residents instinctively call part of Old Markham — and for good reason. Located in south-central Markham, bounded by Highway 407 to the south, the rail line north of Bullock Drive to the north, McCowan Road to the west, and Markham Road to the east, Bullock developed in the years following World War II as the greater Toronto region expanded outward and families looked for established, community-rooted alternatives to the newer subdivisions being built further north.
The neighbourhood's housing stock reflects its post-war and 1960s–1980s construction era: bungalows, two-storey detached homes, and modest sideplits and backsplits — many on generous lots that are well above the size typical of newer Markham communities. This lot-size advantage has made Bullock increasingly attractive to buyers who see the potential for major additions, full renovations, or eventually, custom new-home construction on premium parcels in a desirable established address.
Bullock's most distinctive geographic feature is its southern boundary with the Milne Dam Conservation Park — a magnificent 121-hectare woodland surrounding the Rouge River that offers trails, wetlands, bird-watching, and seasonal wildlife right at the neighbourhood's doorstep. The sub-area known locally as "The Conservation" — a pocket of homes south of Highway 7 between McCowan and Highway 48 that runs along Milne Dam's northern border — is particularly coveted for its parkside living and quiet cul-de-sacs. Add CF Markville shopping, the Markham Centennial Community Centre, Crosby Public School, and a short walk to Main Street Markham, and Bullock's lifestyle proposition is formidable. With a 105.7 percent average sell-to-list ratio, this is one of Markham's most competitive markets — and Michael John Lau knows exactly how to navigate it for you.
"Bullock is where Markham's serious family buyers come — large lots, strong schools, conservation park access, and a sell-to-list ratio over 105%. If you wait too long here, you'll miss out. This market moves."
