Kingshaven by Kingsmen Group in Markham

Connectivity

Kingshaven is planned on Highway 48 south of Stouffville Road, where the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville meets Markham. Highway 48 runs south to Major Mackenzie Drive in Markham and north through Stouffville, giving a direct road spine through the area. For rail, the Stouffville GO line is served by Old Elm GO Station and Stouffville GO Station, and one listing cites just over an hour to Union Station.

Local Living

Kingshaven is marketed as Markham and Stouffville’s first master-planned agri-community, blending suburban living with a countryside setting on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The plan describes communal gardens, seasonal harvest events, dog parks and walking trails, along with a proposed elementary school and community centre. The town of Stouffville is the nearby hub for local services and events, while Markham’s retail areas lie to the south.

Outdoor and Recreation

The site lies within the Oak Ridges Moraine, and the approved plan sets aside public parkland and natural heritage protection areas, with dog parks and trails described in marketing. Bruce’s Mill Conservation Area at 3291 Stouffville Road offers forest trails, a boardwalk, a BMX track and family programs, so confirm the drive time. The Whitchurch-Stouffville Leisure Centre adds a large pool, fitness centre and gymnasium.

Schools and Education

Kingshaven is in Whitchurch-Stouffville, where public schools are run by the York Region District School Board and Catholic schools by the York Catholic District School Board. The approved plan reserves a block for an elementary school, and a standalone community centre appears in the town’s long-term capital plan, so neither should be assumed open at move-in. Families should confirm current catchment schools, French immersion and busing with the boards.

Shopping and Dining

The approved plan includes a small neighbourhood commercial block allowing up to 700 square metres of retail, food and medical space, so larger shopping trips mean a drive. A listing for the project notes a Bulk Barn within walking distance and Markville Mall in Markham as a regional mall. Stouffville’s town centre and Markham’s retail areas offer groceries, cafes and restaurants within driving distance.

Family and Kid Friendly Amenities

Planned family features include a reserved elementary school block, public parkland, dog parks, communal gardens and seasonal harvest events. The Whitchurch-Stouffville Leisure Centre at 2 Park Drive South has a large pool, fitness centre and gymnasium, and also houses the town library and Latcham Art Centre. Bruce’s Mill Conservation Area offers trails, picnic areas and programs. The school and community centre are proposed, so confirm timing with the builder.

Commute and Transit Access

Highway 48 gives direct drives to Markham and Stouffville. GO trains on the Stouffville line stop at Old Elm GO Station at 12958 Tenth Line and Stouffville GO Station at 6176 Main Street, and one listing cites just over an hour to Union Station. The same listing notes a bus stop at Sam’s Way and Highway 48 about a seven minute walk away. Confirm current train and bus schedules.
