Hi All,

I was made redundant in May and have been offered a job in Toronto and I am due to fly out Dec 29 ( pending receiving my long awaited LMO !!). We have a 3 year old & 1 year old and so were thinking of moving to a place like Markham. Would appreciate any feedback that anyone would have about Markham or any suggestions of similar places that are nice to live in.

Thanks.

I live about 15 minutes from Markham. It's a nice town with much new housing built over the past 10-15 years. It has a high Asian population with all that goes with that. Good schooling and recreational facilities. May I ask the location of your new job and are you planning to rent or buy? There are many other dormitory communities around the GTA.

We can be more help if you can ask us more specific questions.

If you haven't already, I recommend reading the wikipedia and citystats profiles for Markham for starters:

Welcome to the country, Markham is good depends where you are working really. New Market is also quiet popular. <snip>
