Cathedraltown Community | View Listings in this Neighbourhood
Cathedraltown (Census Tract Number 5350403.03; Population est. 3,000)Ώ] is a new and developing (as of 2011 Dec) community in the Town of Markham, Ontario, Canada. The community gains its name Cathedraltown because it is landmarked by the Cathedral of the Transfiguration.
The community is divided into two parts. The part east of Woodbine Avenue is centred around Hazelton Avenue. This part of the community existed first before the newer part west of Woodbine Avenue. The community west of Woodbine Avenue is the heart of the community as it is centred around the Cathedral.
One of the main developer of the Cathedraltown neighbourhood is Monarch (A Taylor Woodrow subsidiary in Canada). They have built most of the homes in this neighbourhood, as the first phase is completed; the second phase is under construction as of early 2011.
The residents of Cathedraltown consist mostly of middle to high-income families. The population of the community is predominantly people of East Asian and European heritage.
The community is bounded by Highway 404 to the west, Major MacKenzie Drive to the south, Cachet River to the east, and Elgin Mills Road to the north. The community is sometimes considered to "wrap around" the historical community of Victoria Square.
