Consider Durham region...it's a lot more affordable and connectivity to downtown is excellent.


Do you mean Oshawa? By downtown connectivity are you referring to Go Transit or the 401? We were looking at Markham but I shudder at how I'll get to downtown except by Go. DVP is a disaster. Thanks in advance!


By Durham I mean Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Brooklin, and Oshawa.

GO trains are every 10 minutes during rush hours and every 30 minutes at all other times. Trains start at 4/5 am and go until 1am.

Markham does not have that level of connectivity. There are only a couple trains that run in the morning and then a couple in the evening. It is serviced by buses at other times.

Real estate prices wise, for what you pay for a town home in Markham, you can get a full detached home in Pickering...and it's only like 15 minutes away from Markham.


DVP has a high-occupancy-vehicle lane doesn't it? >:^)
