Townhouses For Sale in Angus Glen, Markham

Rear-lane rows beside the golf club

Angus Glen Golf Club opened in 1995, and the residential community grew up beside it. The East Village was built in the late 1990s with about 500 homes, a mix of single-family houses and townhouses designed on new urbanist principles: historic-style facades, porches at the front and garages on rear laneways. The West Village began in the mid-2000s and continued building after that.

For townhouse buyers, that means freehold rows that look and feel like the detached homes around them. Units are typically two or three storeys, with rear garages, small yards or courtyards and well-kept streetscapes. They tend to attract buyers who want a polished, quiet street more than a large yard.

The community was planned at a modest scale, about 1,100 homes across both villages once complete, so it doesn't have the volume of listings that Cornell does. That small size is part of its character: fewer through streets, less traffic and a strong sense of a defined neighbourhood.

The community centre at the heart of it

The Angus Glen Community Centre is a big part of daily life here. It has an arena, a sports centre, a swimming pool, a branch of the Markham Public Library and a conference centre. For families with kids in hockey or swimming, it's often the deciding factor between Angus Glen and other parts of Markham.

Bur Oak Avenue and Angus Glen Boulevard run east to west through the community, and York Region Transit routes serve the area. Shopping is a short drive along Kennedy, 16th Avenue and Major Mackenzie.

A good fit for downsizers and young families alike

Angus Glen's townhouses draw two distinct groups.

Downsizers leaving a large detached house often like the look of the streets and the sense of staying in a polished neighbourhood. The thing to check is stairs. Many units are three storeys. End units and those with a main-floor primary bedroom are rarer and tend to move quickly.

Young families like the community centre, parks and schools. Schools are run by the York Region District School Board and the York Catholic District School Board. Confirm the catchment with each board's locator.

Both groups should be aware that rear-lane layouts change some routines. Groceries come in through the back, and the garage may be detached across a small courtyard.

Commuting and checks before buying

Most Angus Glen residents drive. Highway 404 is a short trip west via Major Mackenzie or 16th Avenue, and Highway 7 and the 407 are south. Unionville GO and Centennial GO on the Stouffville line are a short drive away.

Before buying an Angus Glen townhouse, ask about:

• Ownership. Most units are freehold. Confirm in the legal description whether any shared road or amenity fee applies.
• Roof and mechanicals. Homes from the late 1990s may be due for roof, window or furnace replacements.
• Rear garage condition. Check the garage door, slab and drainage on the lane side.
• Golf course adjacency. Units near the golf club may get stray balls or maintenance noise early in the morning.

Angus Glen's townhouse supply is modest, so a good unit may draw quick interest. Watch the live listings on this page and compare with Berczy across Kennedy Road, which shares much of the same location and school options.
