recession proof
Um, I was referring to the architecture/aesthetics.
I'm curious about commuting to downtown. Anyone who lives here and travel by Viva and what the experience is like? I think most would drive, but I'm thinking in worst case taking the Viva bus what's the time frame or any tips or different routes they would know.
Thanks.
What are the demographics like in the area? Is it a good mix or are there a lot of young professionals, old families, young families, etc etc. Is it still a large asian community in this area of Markham?
While we like living in urban areas, we find that we simply like the feel of it and the concept. When it comes to shopping and eating, 5 days of the week we are driving out of downtown and to Markham/scarborough anyways. I am considering it because of this, but if prices are not significantly more affordable than north york I would rather live in NY and drive out to eat and shop.
Safe in comparison to Scarborough (Kennedy and Finch area) and safe as in I can leave my doors unlocked. At the end of the day you're still living in a suburb so yes, you are expected to own a car or two.
Coincidentally I also drive by this area to work everyday and I have no problem getting to work by 9 from warden + hwy 7 to east beaver creek if I leave my house at 8:50. For those of us who live and work around here you will sooner or later find ways around the congestion.
What kind of interesting retail were you thinking of? No, we do not have a prada store around the corner or Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. If you're living in Majestic Court or that area in general, you're in walking distance to a highschool, a pub, dental, convienience store, shoppers, no frills, 3 major banks, FMP which includes the cinema heck the list goes on. What more do you need?
I'm very excited about the DT markham and hope that it will turn out the way they marketed it to be. A gem? Maybe, maybe not.
