Markham is Canada's high-tech capital — IBM Canada, AMD, Huawei Canada, Lenovo, and dozens of other major tech firms have their Canadian headquarters here. This corporate presence supports a robust local economy and keeps unemployment low. The tech sector also attracts a highly educated, high-income workforce, which is reflected in the area's exceptional school performance and community investment.
Unionville is Markham's heritage gem — a Victorian main street with galleries, restaurants, and boutiques that hosts some of Ontario's most attended festivals. Cornell and Wismer communities offer newer construction with master-planned schools and parks. Milliken Mills has one of the most established Chinese-Canadian communities in York Region. GO Transit from Markham/Unionville stations connects to Union Station in under an hour.
