Wismer Commons is one of Markham, Ontario's newest and fastest-growing residential communities, and one of its best kept secrets. Located in north-central Markham, bounded by Major Mackenzie Drive to the north, 16th Avenue to the south, McCowan Road to the west, and Markham Road to the east, Wismer Commons was developed with families in mind. Tree-lined streets, dedicated bike routes, ornate streetlamps, and an enormous central park create a community environment that feels thoughtfully designed rather than hastily assembled. The neighbourhood is named after the Wismer Family, one of Markham's original pioneer families who settled the area from Germany via Pennsylvania in 1806,  a heritage that is proudly commemorated in stone plaques at the community's main entrances.
