Georgian and Regency style streets, a walkable piazza and a landmark you can spot from Highway 404. Here is what daily life and housing look like in Cathedraltown.
Cathedraltown is a planned neighbourhood in north Markham, bounded by Major Mackenzie Drive to the south, Elgin Mills Road to the north, Highway 404 to the west and Victoria Square Boulevard to the east. It sits on land that was once Romandale Farms, and its streets were designed after European cathedral towns. The first residents moved in in 2006.
It takes its name from the Cathedral of the Transfiguration, whose three gilded towers rise over the neighbourhood. The centre tower stands 210 feet tall.
Most homes are Georgian and Regency style townhomes in red or yellow brick, many with garages at the rear, plus pockets of detached homes at the north end and low-rise condos near the piazza.
