Overview

Markham’s Southwest Corner

Grandview sits in the Thornhill area at Markham’s southwest corner, east of Yonge Street and north of Steeles Avenue, which forms the border with Toronto. It runs north toward Thornhill’s historic village core, and many locals know its older streets as Grandview Estates.

Most homes are detached and semi-detached family houses, some on generous or ravine lots, and condo towers line Yonge Street near Steeles, including the buildings at 7161 to 7171 Yonge Street near the Shops on Yonge.

The planned Steeles station on the Yonge North Subway Extension will sit at the community’s southwest corner, and Markham is planning for new growth around it through its Yonge Corridor Secondary Plan.
