Neighborhoods
Local expertise across the Greater Toronto Area
Buying or selling a home is a local decision. Each of these communities has its own character, school catchments, and market dynamics. Howard Zhu Team has closed hundreds of transactions across these neighborhoods — here's what we know.
Angus Glen
Angus Glen is one of Markham's most prestigious master-planned communities, built around two championship-level golf courses designed by Doug Carrick and Jay Morrish. Known for luxury detached homes, mature tree-lined streets, and highly-rated schools, it remains a top choice for families relocating from Toronto or overseas.
Unionville
Historic Unionville pairs 19th-century Main Street charm with some of Markham's strongest school rankings and highest home values. Residents enjoy lakefront paths at Toogood Pond, boutique restaurants, and year-round community festivals. It's one of the most sought-after pockets in the GTA for multi-generational buyers.
Bayview Hill
Bayview Hill is Richmond Hill's premier luxury enclave — consistently ranked among the GTA's top neighborhoods for home values, schools, and community quality. Large lots, custom-built homes, and proximity to Bayview Secondary School (one of Canada's top-ranked public high schools) make it a magnet for high-achieving families.
Aurora
Aurora blends small-town character with big-city access. North of Richmond Hill on the Yonge Street corridor, it offers heritage homes in Aurora Village, newer estate homes in Aurora Estates, and established family communities like Bayview Wellington — all within easy commute of Toronto via Highway 404 and the Aurora GO Station.
Newmarket
Newmarket anchors the northern end of York Region. More affordable than Markham or Richmond Hill while still offering strong schools, the Upper Canada Mall, and the Newmarket GO Line, it's attracting young families and first-time luxury buyers moving up from Toronto.
