REAL ESTATE INSIGHTS

East Gwillimbury is currently experiencing some of the largest housing growth in the Greater Toronto Area. This town is booming with over 7000 houses to be built between 2016 and 2026. The widening of many municipal and regional roads over the past few years has created full access to prime real estate areas.  With nature and farming still highly appreciated in growth plans, it’s no wonder families are relocating to one of the gorgeous communities it has to offer. With price points slightly below Newmarket and Aurora, East Gwillimbury will be sought after for years to come. Once you move to this town, you likely will never move again.

PEOPLE & LIFESTYLE

East Gwillimbury is a collection of close-knit neighbourhoods dedicated to their families and community. Residents enjoy living in a country setting with its scenic landscapes and breathtaking views. The Holland River winds its way through the township connecting small communities, working farms, subdivisions and dense conservation areas. Hiking and bicycle trails, waterways, marinas and country markets are only moments away from your front door. East Gwillimbury gives you the chance to get involved in the community with a variety of town charity events, music festivals, sporting activities, town fairs or the always-popular neighbourhood street barbeques.

COMMUNITIES

Holland Landing

This community was once a post for the Northwest Fur Company and a canoe-launching site for Indigenous Peoples for centuries. Holland Landing was viewed as a potential shipping and defense point between York (Toronto) and Georgian Bay. The community has seen steady and gradual growth over the years with the establishment of local businesses, stores and library while keeping its cottage-country charm.

Mount Albert

Quakers originally settled in this small village in 1821. Over the years, the village grew slowly with farms, houses, wool and lumber mills, shops and two hotels. Recently, the village has experienced more growth with the construction of new subdivisions. This area promises to see significant growth for business and new neighbourhoods. The Highway 404 extension and upgrades to Woodbine Avenue make travelling in and out of the area much easier for commuters.

Queensville

Originally a village found along concession roads used by Quaker settlers, Queensville was built in 1843. This cute and charming town has an original rural town feel that is usually only found in remote Ontario communities.  This community will be home to significant growth over the next few years with the construction of new homes and schools.

Sharon

Settled by United Empire Loyalists and Quakers, Sharon was first known as “Hope” in the early 1800’s. In 1801, David Wilson and his family moved to the area to create a new community. He decided to separate from the Quakers and start a new congregation called The Children of Peace. Wilson created a local meeting place now famously known as the Sharon Temple.

Green Lane Corridor

East Gwillimbury recently expanded the Green Lane Corridor to attract more businesses and jobs whilst building new homes and transit options in the area. The town has also seen Highway 404 open an exit/entrance at Green Lane and Queensville Side Road leading all the way to Georgina. A Secondary Plan for future expansion is already in the planning stages and it is expected to rival that of Ontario’s greatest towns.

Rural Areas

East Gwillimbury’s rural area includes the protected lands of the Oak Ridges Moraine and Provincial Greenbelt. The region is home to agriculture and aggregate resources, protected green space, rural commercial and industrial areas, recreational areas and a few residential developments.

Testimonials
 

My son and I were looking for a one bedroom apartment in Markham and the competition was fierce. Andrew Samwel and Joshua Campbell represented us and worked tirelessly to find us a place under a fierce, extremely competitive September market! He went that extra mile in the application process staying engaged with not only us but by telephone and e-mail to the landlord’s representative to ensure that we made it to the short list of applicants and finally to the successful candidate to acquire the apartment. He and Josh were also engaged afterwards to ensure we were satisfied with everything and that all paperwork was successfully completed to allow us to take possession and move into the apartment. We would highly recommend this team of professionals to any prospective tenant seeking accommodation in the Toronto area. Thanks Andrew and Josh again for your efforts! - Paul Dunbar

Josh has been our realtor since we first entered the housing market 7 years ago. He helped us buy our first home then sell our starter home and upgrade to a family home a few years later. Josh really takes the time to sit down and get to know his clients - what their needs, wishes and goals are. Truthfully, you never really feel like a client with Josh. He has a personalized approach and makes sure you're comfortable every step of the way. Even after the real estate transaction is complete, he’s always available by phone or e-mail to answer any questions you may have about the housing market, property taxes, etc. I highly recommend Josh Campbell for all your real estate needs. - Lisa Stark
