Markland Wood

A planned golf-course community at the western edge of the city.

Markland Wood was developed in the sixties around the Markland Wood Golf Club, at the far western edge of Etobicoke against the Mississauga boundary. It is a planned community in the fullest sense — curving streets, consistent house scale, generous lots and a strong residents’ association that has been active in protecting the golf lands from redevelopment. The housing is largely original mid-century detached homes, many updated, with a growing number of rebuilds. It is quiet, green and entirely car-oriented; there is no rapid transit within walking distance.

Housing stock

Mid-century detached houses on generous lots; some newer rebuilds and townhouses.

Who buys here

Families, established households, and buyers seeking space at the city’s edge.

Transit

The 111 East Mall and 112 West Mall buses; Kipling station a short drive.

Worth checking

The future of the golf lands has been contested. Ask about any current development proposals.
