Discover one of York Region's most prestigious and thoughtfully designed residential enclaves.
Where Golf Course Living Meets Family Excellence
Legacy is one of Markham's most distinguished master-planned communities, developed throughout the 2000s in the city's northeast quadrant along 9th Line and Major MacKenzie Drive. The neighbourhood is anchored by a premium golf course that gives many homes sweeping fairway views and a country club atmosphere that is rare in suburban Toronto. Legacy was designed from the ground up as a prestige community — with wide, curving streets, architectural controls, and generous lot sizes that have maintained the neighbourhood's distinguished character across two decades of growth.
The community's homes are predominantly large detached properties, many custom or semi-custom built by Markham's finest builders, featuring premium exterior finishes, soaring interiors, three-car garages, and professionally designed rear yards that take full advantage of the neighbourhood's generous lot configurations. A significant proportion of Legacy homes back directly onto the golf course — commanding meaningful premiums and providing a lifestyle experience that few GTA communities can match.
Legacy's appeal extends well beyond its golf course setting. The community is zoned for Bur Oak Secondary School — consistently ranked among York Region's finest — and served by Legacy Public School, creating an elite educational ecosystem that drives persistent demand from education-focused families. Combined with trail access, proximity to Markham's expanding northeast amenity corridor, and excellent Highway 407 connectivity, Legacy offers a comprehensive luxury lifestyle with genuine long-term investment fundamentals.
"Legacy delivers something that's genuinely rare — a golf course address, exceptional schools, and grand homes in a community that has only gotten better with age."
