Living in Unionville —
Markham's Most Prestigious Community
Charming heritage streets, top-ranked schools, luxury homes, and a vibrant village atmosphere — Unionville is the crown jewel of Markham real estate. Explore what makes it one of the GTA's most sought-after neighbourhoods.
A Village Rooted in History & Prestige
Unionville is a charming heritage district within the City of Markham, located approximately 33 kilometres northeast of Downtown Toronto. Founded in 1794 when German-born American families settled the area, it grew around Union Mills — a flour mill established in 1839 — from which the neighbourhood takes its name. Today, its iconic Main Street remains a beautifully preserved 19th-century streetscape lined with boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and pubs.
The neighbourhood spans between Rodick Road to the west, McCowan Road to the east, Major MacKenzie Drive to the north, and Highway 407 to the south. With a population of approximately 30,000 and rising, Unionville consistently ranks as one of Ontario's most affluent suburban communities, with an average household income exceeding $127,900. Around 85% of residents own their homes — a strong reflection of the neighbourhood's long-term stability and deep community roots.
Unionville's appeal is multi-dimensional: heritage charm, walkable amenities, elite school catchments, and premium housing stock that attracts families, downsizers, luxury buyers, and savvy investors alike. For those seeking a top Unionville REALTOR® or Markham listing agent, working with a local expert who knows every street and school boundary makes all the difference.
"Unionville offers a compelling blend of historic significance, modern convenience, and a strong sense of community."
