Greensborough is one of the most thoughtfully planned communities in Markham, and for good reason. Nestled along the Bur Oak Avenue corridor in northeast Markham, Greensborough was developed in 2005 using the Smart Growth urban planning model. The result is a cohesive, walkable neighbourhood blending low- and medium-density housing, parks, schools, and everyday amenities. Today, Greensborough is a top choice for families seeking modern homes, strong schools, and access to nature, all within commuting distance of Toronto.
