Around the Block
Buttonville:

A crossroads hamlet from the 1800s holding its ground in modern Markham.

Buttonville grew up in the nineteenth century around the Woodbine Avenue crossroads, and its heritage conservation area still preserves that early village character. Buyers watching Buttonville homes for sale find genuinely rare listings, and Buttonville homes for rent appear only occasionally in this small, distinctive community.


What to Expect:

Heritage properties in a small, tightly held pocket.

Expect a limited stock of heritage homes and select residential properties surrounded by business parks and major roads. The scale is intimate, and the setting is unlike anywhere else in Markham.


The Lifestyle:

Hamlet quiet with full city amenities minutes away.

Residents draw on the historic main street of Unionville, the shopping of central Markham, and the parks and trails of the surrounding city. Quick highway access makes the whole region practical for work and weekends.

Unexpected Appeal:

An airfield closure that rewrote the local future.

The longtime municipal airport beside the hamlet closed in 2023 after decades of operation, and its lands rank among the largest redevelopment opportunities in the Greater Toronto Area. The next chapter of Buttonville is being planned right now.



The Market:

A rare heritage market beside a transformation site.

The market consists of scarce heritage and residential properties whose long term context will be shaped by the redevelopment of the former airport lands. Buyers here are purchasing history with a front row seat to change.


You'll Fall In Love With:

The history, the location, and the future arriving next door.

Residents love the heritage character, five minute trips to Unionville, and highway access that puts the region within reach. Buttonville offers a rare Markham address where past and future meet.
