What is it like to live in Swan Lake Village in Markham?Swan Lake Village is a gated adult lifestyle condominium community in Markham’s Greensborough area, with almost 650 homes around a lake and pond, built mostly by Daniels from 1997 to 2004. Homes include apartment-style condos, bungalows, bungalofts and townhomes. Residents share the 16,000 sq ft Swan Club and three satellite clubhouses. There is no age limit, but units are designed for two permanent occupants, with a provision for a caregiver.
Many long-time Markham homeowners want less upkeep without moving into a tower. Swan Lake Village is one of the few local communities built for exactly that.
Michael John Lau, a REALTOR® with the Kaizen Real Estate Team, one of the most active real estate teams in Markham and York Region, often tours Swan Lake with downsizers comparing it with a bungalow or a mid-rise condo.
