Neighbourhood Overview

Where Unionville's Prestige Meets South Markham's Energy

Village Green – South Unionville is a small but high-performing neighbourhood in south-central Markham, named for its geographical position near the southern edge of historic Unionville. Bounded clearly by Regional Highway 7 to the north, Highway 407 to the south, Kennedy Road to the west, and McCowan Road to the east, the community packs a remarkable range of housing types, school options, and transit connections into a compact, walkable footprint.

The neighbourhood's housing stock reflects its early 2000s construction era — newer detached homes on residential lanes, semi-detached houses south of South Unionville Avenue, townhouses along the avenue itself, and condominium options in the west end near Kennedy Road and Highway 7. This genuine mix of housing types makes Village Green accessible to a wide range of buyers — from young couples entering the market to established families seeking top school catchments and seasoned investors identifying well-located rental assets.

What sets this community apart is its combination of location advantages that few Markham neighbourhoods can match simultaneously: elite school access including Markville Secondary School and programs in IB, AP, and Gifted/Talented; direct GO Train access from Centennial GO Station; Markville Mall and T&T Supermarket within walking distance; and a short drive to both Main Street Unionville and the Pan Am Centre. With 40 percent of homes selling above asking price, Village Green consistently ranks among Markham's most competitive and in-demand communities — ranked #7 of 40 Markham neighbourhoods. Michael John Lau knows this market intimately and is ready to help you navigate it.

Why Village Green

What Makes Village Green Stand Out

From its elite school catchments and Centennial GO Station to a genuine housing mix and exceptional walkability — here's why Village Green – South Unionville continues to attract competitive, motivated buyers across every buyer profile.

01
Elite School Catchment
Village Green sits within the catchment of Markville Secondary School — one of Markham's most respected high schools — and benefits from access to programs including the International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement, Gifted/Talented, and French Immersion. The neighbourhood is served by four public schools, six Catholic schools, one private school, and one alternative school — a remarkable density of educational options for families at every stage.
02
Centennial GO Station Access
Direct GO Train access via Centennial GO Station connects Village Green residents to Union Station in approximately 50 minutes — a significant commuter advantage that underpins rental demand and buyer appeal from downtown Toronto professionals relocating to Markham. Combined with 59 transit stops and proximity to both Highway 407 and Highway 7, the neighbourhood's connectivity profile is outstanding.
03
Diverse & Accessible Housing Mix
Village Green offers one of the most genuinely diverse housing mixes in south Markham — detached homes on residential lanes, semi-detached houses, townhouses along South Unionville Avenue, and condominium units near Kennedy and Highway 7. This range gives buyers multiple entry points into a high-performing neighbourhood without requiring a single price tier to commit.
04
Competitive Market Performance
Village Green ranks #7 of 40 Markham neighbourhoods in market performance, with 40 percent of homes selling above asking price — well above the city average. Homes in this community move in an average of 13–28 days, reflecting strong and consistent buyer demand. For sellers, this competitive landscape translates to excellent outcomes when properties are properly prepared and positioned.
05
Exceptional Walkable Amenities
Few Markham neighbourhoods offer Village Green's density of walkable conveniences: Markville Mall (Walmart, major retail), T&T Supermarket, New Kennedy Square, Pan Am Centre recreation facilities, and a short drive to Main Street Unionville's boutiques, restaurants, and heritage attractions. The day-to-day lifestyle appeal of this neighbourhood is consistently cited by buyers as a primary purchase motivator.
06
Culturally Rich & Diverse Community
With residents from 63 different ethnic origins and 71 percent first-generation immigrants, Village Green is a genuinely diverse community that reflects the best of modern Markham. This cultural richness translates into outstanding food options, vibrant community events, and a welcoming neighbourhood spirit that attracts buyers and renters from across the GTA looking for authentic multicultural community life.
