Neighbourhood Overview

Markham's Most Prestigious Address —
A True Estate Community

Devil's Elbow is Markham's definitive luxury address — a north-central enclave consistently referred to as "The Bridle Path of Markham" for its concentration of custom-built estates and mansions occupied by the city's most successful families. Located south of Major Mackenzie between Warden Avenue and Angus Glen Boulevard, just west of Kennedy Road, it is the unambiguous pinnacle of Markham residential real estate.

The community is comprised of three distinct sub-areas: the Cachet Country Club estates (with 1+ acre lots and private creek corridors running off Personna Boulevard and Cachet Parkway), the Glenridge Estates area (off Glenbourne Park), and the more recently constructed West Village at Angus Glen — a master-planned community of Kylemore-built luxury homes backing directly onto the fairways of the Angus Glen Golf Club. Together, these three areas deliver a range of luxury product unmatched anywhere else in Markham's residential landscape.

Angus Glen Golf Club — home to the 2002 and 2007 Canadian Open and the 2015 Pan Am Games — forms the iconic natural backdrop for many Devil's Elbow properties, providing fairway views and a resort-like atmosphere that is genuinely impossible to replicate in an urban setting. With approximately 95 percent owner-occupancy, ultra-low annual inventory, and school catchments that include the #1-ranked high school in Ontario, Devil's Elbow properties attract the most discerning buyers in all of York Region. Michael John Lau is the specialist these exceptional transactions demand.

Why Devil's Elbow

What Makes Devil's Elbow Incomparable

From its Angus Glen Golf Club fairway-backing estates and Canada's #1 school catchment to ultra-rare supply and unmatched prestige — here's why Devil's Elbow holds an unchallenged position at the very top of Markham's luxury real estate market.

01
Angus Glen Golf Club Adjacency
The Angus Glen Golf Club — host of the 2002 and 2007 RBC Canadian Open and the 2015 Pan Am Games — forms the spectacular natural backdrop for many Devil's Elbow properties. Fairway-backing homes in the West Village of Angus Glen deliver a resort lifestyle that is simply unavailable at any price point anywhere else in the GTA outside of a small number of exclusive enclaves.
02
Canada's #1 School Catchment
St. Augustine Catholic High School — ranked #1 among 747 Ontario high schools — falls within Devil's Elbow's catchment boundary. Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School (ranked top 15 Ontario) provides the corresponding public secular option. For families with children, no other GTA community offers this concentration of elite secondary school access within a single neighbourhood boundary.
03
Three Distinct Luxury Sub-Communities
Devil's Elbow offers product diversity within its prestige framework: the Cachet Country Club area delivers 1+ acre private creek estate lots; Glenridge Estates offers established luxury detached on generous parcels; and West Village at Angus Glen (built by Kylemore Homes) provides more recently constructed luxury with 10-foot ceilings, premium appliances, and direct golf course views.
04
Ultra-Low Supply & Genuine Scarcity
With fewer than 20–30 new listings entering the market annually across all three sub-areas, Devil's Elbow represents one of the most constrained luxury inventory environments in the GTA. When properties do come to market, they attract buyers who are motivated, well-capitalized, and acutely aware of what this address represents — which is reflected in pricing support across market cycles.
05
Proximity to Unionville & Amenities
A short distance from Devil's Elbow sits historic Main Street Unionville — Markham's most beloved heritage commercial strip — offering fine dining, boutiques, seasonal festivals, and a walkable village atmosphere that complements the estate lifestyle. The Angus Glen Community Centre provides world-class recreation facilities on the neighbourhood's doorstep, and Highway 404 provides rapid GTA-wide access.
06
Proven Long-Term Capital Growth
Devil's Elbow homes average over $4.1M — approximately 178 percent above the Markham city average. This premium has widened over time as the community's combination of golf adjacency, top-ranked schools, and genuine estate character has become increasingly scarce relative to the pool of high-net-worth GTA buyers seeking precisely this product. The neighbourhood has demonstrated exceptional pricing resilience through multiple market cycles.
