About Cathedraltown

Cathedraltown is Markham's most architecturally distinctive newer community, built around the landmark Cathedral of the Transfiguration. European-inspired streetscapes, boulevards, and varied facades give it a character you can recognize at a glance.

The community mixes towns, semis, and detached homes built largely in the 2000s–2010s, drawing buyers who want newer construction with more design personality than a typical subdivision, plus quick access to Highway 404 and the employment corridor.

Why people choose Cathedraltown

  • ✓ Newer homes with varied, character-forward architecture
  • ✓ Quick Highway 404 access for commuters
  • ✓ Parks and boulevards planned through the community
  • ✓ Distinct identity supports steady resale interest
