Large detached homes, quiet crescents and a park and community centre at its heart, just west of Markham across Highway 404. Here is what daily life and housing look like in Bayview Hill.
Bayview Hill is in southeast Richmond Hill, roughly east of Bayview Avenue between 16th Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive, with Leslie Street and Highway 404 to the east. It is part of Richmond Hill, not Markham, so property taxes and city services are Richmond Hill’s.
Most of the neighbourhood was built in the 1990s, with some smaller pockets added later. It is known for very large detached brick homes, many in a Georgian Revival style, nearly all with double or triple garages.
At its centre are Bayview Hill Park and the Bayview Hill Community Centre and Pool, with shopping close by at Village Gate on Bayview Avenue and the SmartCentres plaza on Major Mackenzie Drive.
