Thornhill, the Markham side

This page covers TRREB's Thornhill community on the Markham (east) side of Yonge Street, which takes in the old village's heritage streets, like Elgin Street, and the residential blocks around Morgan Avenue, Glen Cameron Road and Clark Avenue. Thornhill as a whole straddles Yonge: the west half is in Vaughan, the east half in Markham. Our map covers both sides.

Area guide

One village, two cities

Thornhill grew up as a village on Yonge Street, with Vaughan Township on the west side of the road and Markham Township on the east. When York Region was created in 1971, the village was not given its own council; it was divided between the two towns along Yonge, and it has stayed that way. Both cities protect the old village core with heritage conservation districts.

So "Thornhill" is a postal and community name, not a city. On the Markham side you will see L3T postal codes and City of Markham services; across Yonge, L4J and City of Vaughan.

Heritage homes to Yonge Street condos

Listings here range from homes in and near the heritage district, where exterior changes need City of Markham heritage approval, to post-war and later detached homes on the residential streets, to condo apartments along Yonge. Buying in a heritage district? We will make sure you understand the rules before you firm up.

Schools, library and transit

Both sides of Thornhill are served by the York Region District School Board and the York Catholic District School Board. Catchments change, so confirm the schools for a specific address with the boards' school locators before you buy. Thornhill Secondary School is on Dudley Avenue, on this side of Yonge.

Viva buses run along Yonge, with TTC connections at Steeles and Finch station a short ride south.

Questions

Thornhill, answered.

Something else about Thornhill? Ask us directly.

Is Thornhill a city?

No. Thornhill is a community split between the City of Vaughan (west of Yonge) and the City of Markham (east of Yonge). It has had no council of its own since York Region was created in 1971.

Which listings does this page show?

Homes in TRREB's Thornhill community, which is on the Markham side. For Thornhill on both sides of Yonge, use our Thornhill property-search pages, such as houses for sale in Thornhill.

Can I renovate a home in the heritage district?

Often, but exterior changes, additions and demolitions in a heritage conservation district need approval from the City of Markham. Ask the city's heritage staff early, and we can help you find out what applies to a specific property.

Do Thornhill buyers pay Toronto land transfer tax?

No. It is north of Steeles Avenue, in York Region, so buyers pay Ontario's land transfer tax only. Toronto's municipal land transfer tax applies south of Steeles. Our land transfer tax calculator does the arithmetic.
