Cachet Condos
Kennedy Road & Major Mackenzie Drive, Markham, Ontario
The definitive guide to Cachet's family-oriented condominiums — buying, selling, current values, amenities and the parkside lifestyle. Researched and written by Cachet condo specialist Michael John Lau.
Everything you need to know about Cachet Condos
Cachet is one of Markham's most established, family-friendly, and highly sought-after communities — a master-planned neighbourhood where top-ranked schools, expansive green spaces, and practical condo living come together.
Developed primarily by the Remington Group and other quality builders, Cachet's condominiums are uniquely designed for the suburban lifestyle. Unlike downtown high-rises, the inventory here consists mostly of low-rise apartment buildings, stacked townhomes, and street townhomes. They offer generous square footage, multiple bedrooms, and immediate access to the beautiful Cachet Park. It is a favourite for young families, downsizers, and buyers who want the space of a house with the convenience of condo living.
Whether you own a suite and are thinking about selling, you're hoping to buy into the area, or you simply want to understand the market, this page brings it all together. If you'd rather just talk it through, call or text Michael at 416-700-0286.
Family-sized residences in a master-planned hub
Cachet's condo inventory is distinctly suburban. Built primarily by the Remington Group and other quality builders in the 2000s and 2010s, the buildings were designed to appeal to families and downsizers who needed more space than a typical urban condo could offer.
The area features a mix of 3- to 4-storey low-rise apartment buildings and extensive stacked townhome complexes. Many of the townhome-style condos even include private entrances, garages, and finished basements, blurring the line between condo living and freehold ownership. The result is a highly practical, well-maintained housing stock that offers exceptional value.
Space designed for real family life
The defining feature of a Cachet condo is space. These suites were built for buyers who needed room to grow, featuring layouts that are significantly larger than the GTA condo average.
Family-Sized Layouts
Unlike the 500 sq ft studios downtown, Cachet condos frequently feature 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom layouts, separate dining areas, and in-suite laundry. The stacked townhomes often include multi-level living spaces with private garages and finished basements.
Practical & Updated Finishes
Expect functional kitchens with ample cabinetry, updated appliances, and durable flooring suitable for kids and pets. Many owners have beautifully renovated their units with modern quartz counters, glass backsplashes, and updated bathrooms, offering turn-key quality.
Floor plans & layouts
Because Cachet has such a diverse mix of condo types, choosing the right layout is critical. If you're trying to understand how your suite — or one you're considering — compares to the market, that's exactly the kind of building-specific insight Michael provides.

Practical living, surrounded by nature
Cachet condos focus on practical, low-maintenance living. While the buildings themselves may have modest shared amenities, the real draw is the incredible neighbourhood infrastructure right outside your door.
For families, the neighbourhood itself is the ultimate amenity. Stepping out of your door and immediately accessing a 20+ acre park, top-tier schools, and safe, quiet streets is what makes Cachet so special. It offers the space and safety of a suburban home with the lock-and-leave convenience of a condo.
Markham's premier family neighbourhood
Cachet is a mature, master-planned community designed from the ground up with families in mind. The streets are wide, the sidewalks are expansive, and the atmosphere is quiet, safe, and deeply community-oriented.
Lifestyle
Weekend BBQs, evening walks to the park, weekend soccer games, and a strong sense of neighbourly connection. It's a place where kids ride their bikes safely and adults find peace.
Who lives here
Young families, professionals, and active downsizers who want access to top schools and green space without the burden of maintaining a large detached home and yard.
Property values
Exceptionally strong. The combination of top school catchments and the proximity to Cachet Park creates a constant, deep pool of demand from buyers who specifically target this neighbourhood.
The 20+ acre jewel of the neighbourhood
No description of Cachet is complete without Cachet Park. This massive 20+ acre green space is the spiritual heart of the community and a major driver of property values in the area.
A Four-Season Destination
Cachet Park features extensive walking trails, sports fields, and multiple playgrounds. In the summer, families gather for picnics and outdoor activities. In the winter, the trails are perfect for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. It is a true community gathering space.
Community Hub
Cachet Park is also home to various community events and programs throughout the year. For families, living within walking distance of this fantastic facility is a massive lifestyle bonus that makes daily routines effortless and enjoyable.
Inside one of Ontario's most sought-after catchments
For families, school catchment is often the single biggest driver of property value — and Cachet delivers some of the best in the province.
St. Robert Catholic High School is consistently ranked as one of the top Catholic high schools in Ontario, offering excellent academic programs, arts, and athletics. This catchment is so highly desired that it commands a meaningful premium on property values, even for condo buyers who may not have school-age children. The area is also served by excellent elementary schools like Cachet Public School and St. Justin Catholic, making it a complete educational hub.
Connected to the entire GTA
Despite its quiet, suburban feel, Cachet offers excellent access to the broader GTA network, making it highly practical for commuters and professionals.
Kennedy Road is a major north-south arterial road, providing a direct route into Toronto and the broader York Region network. Quick access to Highway 401, Highway 404, and Highway 407 puts the rest of the GTA within easy reach by car. For public transit users, the YRT bus network is extensive, with frequent routes connecting to the Viva rapid transit system. It is the perfect balance of secluded family living and urban connectivity.
