Newmarket sits just about straight North of the Toronto GTA, approximately 30Kms. Currently, we have about 81,000 residents in well laid out subdivisions, comprising a versatility of homes, parks, green areas, community centres, schools, both public and parochial. Communications routes to the North, East, South & West permit fast access across the GTA, including  fast routes to the Toronto Airport and to Buttonville, just 20 minutes to the South.  Highways 404, 407,401 and 400 are just a few minutes away.

*** Breaking News***  Effective July, 2010, the Southlake Regional Cancer Centre has opened to those suffering from these debilitating diseases. Offering the absolute latest in Diagnostic techniques, Treatment capabilities, and disease resolution - it eliminates long travel times for York region patients.

In addition, Southlake Regional Hospital offers ground-breaking surgical intervention techniques in the field of Cardiac disease, Pulmonary problems, and related illnesses. Southlake is truly a hospital for the people! (I heartily concur, having been a cardiac patient there twice!!).

The Quakers settled Newmarket at the beginning of the 19th century.

Its name derives from becoming the New Market to the north of the old Market, known as York (present day Toronto). Remember NEWMARKET when you are thinking of moving here, moving or starting your business here, or even retiring here - there are so many reasons why Newmarket is an ideal location choice.

 

In the Summer months, Newmarket holds its weekly Farmers' Market off Mulock Drive & west of Bayview - lots of fresh vegetables and fruits to choose from - The GARLIC festival is mid August each year- can you tell I LIKE GARLIC????

 

We are on the North edge of the GTA, with fast access to Hwy 404 (becoming the Don Valley Parkway); Hwy 400 on the West side with access to the West side of the GTA, Pearson International Airport and Mississauga / Brampton / Oakville & Burlington.

North of the GTA and running from Pickering to Burlington we have fast access to the Toll Highway 407 which really reduces time as part of the equation!!
