General Information:

The combination of residential and parkland areas make Markham one of the nicest places to live in the Greater Toronto Area.  Located in the northeast corner of the GTA, Markam's populace enjoys a little more open space than Toronto offers, since it is home to some of the best parkland in the GTA.

The centre of Markham can be found in the area of Highway 7 and McCowan Rd.  Located here is the largest shopping complex is Markham called the Markville Shopping Centre.  This mall has all the large stores and a fair number of smaller unique stores.  Right next to the shopping centre is Markham Centennial Arena and pool.  This complex is home to a number of Markham's sports organizations and always offers something to do.

Markham is also home to one of Toronto's smaller airports.  Located at Highway 7 and Highway 404, Buttonville airport is a small airport that every private pilot should know about.  The airport provides air access to entire eastern side of the GTA, as Pearson International Airport is located in the western portion of the GTA.

Markham is a great area to live in for the renter who wants to live relatively close to downtown Toronto and still maintain a bit of that country feeling.  This area like most of the areas in the GTA has a wide price range for rental accommodations that is surely to accommodate everyone's financial situation.
