Newmarket

Newmarket is a town of over 85,000 residents, located less than an hour away from Downtown Toronto. Settled in the 19th century, the town has a long history of being one of the Greater Toronto Area’s bedroom communities. But in recent years, Newmarket has been branching out. It is no longer just a way station– it is now one of the most sought-after places to live in the GTA and York Region. Big-city amenities, from advanced public transit and premium health care facilities, are scattered all over Newmarket. The heart of the town, however, is its historic downtown core, where unique local shops and restaurants abound.
