Real Estate Around Kennedy Towns & Lifestyle Overview

Kennedy Towns is a rare new townhouse development in an established part of Markham – Milliken Mills East. The majority of the surrounding homes and buildings have been there 30+ years. This presents as an amazing opportunity for those looking for a brand-new home but haven’t been able to find something with modern finishes or the newest tech in existing resale properties. It’s also a great chance to own a newer build as an investor too.

Residential Landscape

The property market in Kennedy Town is primarily detached homes. Right behind Kennedy Towns are large multi-million dollar estate homes. Because of the size of these homes the area is particularly attractive to families. You will see less townhouses, semis, and apartments here.

Lifestyle and Amenities

Markham has been cited as North America’s most multui-cultural city, so you won’t have to look far from Kennedy Towns for top-notch cafes, restaurants, and bars catering to various tastes. Just adjacent to Kennedy Towns includes several plazas with restaurants such as Chiang Rai Thai Kitchen and Bar, 3A Noodle, Pizza Pizza, and many more. Residents will also be steps (literally across the street) from Milliken Mills Community Centre which houses a large library, indoor pool with water slide, sauna, and hot tub, and ice rink arena. The Milliken Mills Park’s hills behind the community centre is a popular spot for jogging, cycling, and leisurely strolls, offering stunning views of the city and you can even spot the CN Tower on clear days!

Thinking of Purchasing at Kennedy Towns? Here’s Your Property and Living Guide

Buying at Kennedy Towns offers a wealth of advantages. Here’s what you need to know about property and living in this dynamic neighbourhood.

Transportation

Kennedy Towns is exceptionally well-connected thanks to its central location. While many couples & families choose to purchase in the Berczy & Angus Glen area due to the homes being newer –  they forget that the more northern location makes it quite inconvenient especially in a suburban city like Markham where you’ll be driving for your daily errands. On the other hand, Kennedy Towns is a much shorter drive to Hwy 401, ETR 407, and Hwy 404/DVP. Being on Kennedy Rd makes transportation that much easier – residents are just 5 minutes from Unionville GO Station & Milliken GO Station, while still having the YRT/VIVA bus on your doorstep. Can you think of a location in Markham that would be that short of a distance from so many transportation options?

Education

One of the biggest appeals of Kennedy Towns is that you’re across from Milliken Mills High School with their IB Program. This high school has consistently drawn the sharpest minds making their standardized testing results exceed the average by a lot. This high school consistently attracts top students, leading to standardized test results that significantly surpass the average. It scores at 9.1 and ranks 16th out of 746 schools on Fraser Institute. The primary elementary school serving this community (and in which Kennedy Towns falls under) is Randall Public School. Some parents may also choose to opt for private school options of which there are many in this area too: Town Centre Private Schools, Kennedy Montessori School, Somerset Academy, and Trillium School.

Healthcare

The district is well-served by medical facilities, including general practitioners, specialists, and easy access to Markham Stouffville Hospital.
