Markham's rental market is very different from downtown Toronto — larger units, more parking, better schools, and pricing 20-30% below equivalent GTA-core rentals. 2-bedroom townhouses and condos typically run $2,600 to $3,400. Popular with families, new immigrants, and professionals commuting to the GTA-north tech corridor.
My brokerage is based in Markham — I know this market as well as anyone. I know which condo corps in the Warden/Hwy 7 pocket have well-funded reserves, which Unionville streets flood in spring, and which landlords in the Chinese-speaking landlord community are professional versus problematic. Bilingual service throughout.
