What makes Angus Glen in Markham special?Angus Glen combines a golf-course setting with careful town planning. The neighbourhood, roughly bounded by Warden Avenue, Kennedy Road, 16th Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive, was developed from the late 1990s using new urbanist design, with homes styled after historic houses and garages on rear laneways. It sits beside Angus Glen Golf Club, whose two championship courses hosted the Canadian Open in 2002 and 2007, and the Angus Glen Community Centre, with an arena, a pool and a library. The mix of townhouses and large detached homes gives it a polished, consistent streetscape that buyers recognize.
Ask Markham residents to name the city’s executive neighbourhoods, and Angus Glen comes up quickly. Its reputation rests on a combination few communities can match: a nationally known golf club, a planned streetscape and a full-service community centre, all in north-central Markham.
Michael John Lau, a REALTOR® with the Kaizen Real Estate Team, one of the most active real estate teams in Markham and York Region, helps luxury buyers compare Angus Glen with other high-end Markham communities street by street, because value here depends heavily on lot, view and proximity to the golf course.

A planned, consistent streetscape
Angus Glen was planned using new urbanist principles. Homes were designed with the look of historic houses, and garages sit on rear laneways, so the street side is lined with front doors, porches and landscaping rather than garage doors. That consistency is a big part of the neighbourhood’s appeal: streets look cared for and coherent from one block to the next.
Like other communities built to a design standard, some exterior changes may be guided by the original plans and City rules. Buyers planning major renovations should check what applies before they buy.
Life beside a championship golf club
Angus Glen Golf Club has two 18-hole championship courses. The South Course opened in 1995 and hosted the Canadian Open in 2002; the North Course opened in 2001 and hosted the Canadian Open in 2007. For golfers, living minutes from the first tee is the obvious draw. For everyone else, the courses add green space, open views and a sense of calm. York Downs Golf Club is also nearby.
Homes with golf course views or backing onto open space often attract the most interest, so compare recent sales of similar lots rather than relying on area averages.
