Devil’s Elbow is the name real estate boards use for a pocket of estate homes in north Markham, roughly between 16th Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive around Warden Avenue, next to Angus Glen Golf Club. It overlaps areas many locals call Cachet and the West Village at Angus Glen, so the same street can show up under more than one name in listings.
Most homes are large detached houses, from established estate homes to newer homes built since the mid-2000s in the West Village area. Streets are quiet and mostly residential, and driving is the easiest way to get around.
Everyday shopping is a short drive away, and Angus Glen Community Centre on Major Mackenzie Drive has an arena, a pool and a branch of Markham Public Library.
Large lots give room for pools, gardens and spacious homes set back from the street.
Angus Glen Golf Club, which opened in 1995 and has hosted the Canadian Open, sits right beside the neighbourhood.
Low-traffic residential streets give the area a calm, private feel.
