Cornell Real Estate Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Cornell different from other Markham neighbourhoods?

Cornell was planned from the start as a New Urbanist community. That means a walkable street grid, rear laneways with garages behind the homes, parks throughout the neighbourhood and a shopping street along Bur Oak Avenue. The result feels more like a small town than a typical subdivision.

What real estate is available in Cornell?

The Cornell real estate market includes detached homes, semi-detached homes, freehold and condo townhomes, and low-rise condominiums, with certain pockets seeing a higher density of specific build types. In Cornell Village and Cornell Rouge you can find detached homes, many with coach houses, alongside rear-lane townhomes, while Bur Oak Avenue and Cornell Centre offer mid-rise condominiums.

What is the average price for a home in Cornell?

Average pricing varies by property type and location within the community. Homes in Cornell sell for around $970,000 on average. Condo townhouses are around $665,000, freehold townhouses around $945,000 and detached homes around $1.27 million. Contact the BK Team for a current market update.

How far is Cornell from downtown Toronto?

Cornell is roughly a 35 to 40 minute drive from downtown Toronto outside rush hour via Highway 407 and Highway 404/Don Valley Parkway, and considerably longer at peak times. By transit, the GO train from nearby Mount Joy GO Station reaches Union Station in about 55 minutes. Travel times are estimates.

Is Cornell a good place for families?

Many families choose Cornell for its walkable streets, parks within a short walk of most homes, newer schools, and the Cornell Community Centre and Library with pools, a gym and makerspaces. Community events such as the August Cornell Picnic and November tree lighting add a small-town feel. Always confirm school boundaries for a specific address with the school board.
