Downsizing to Markham Centre

58 years old | Lives in Markham Centre | Banker | Takes GO Train | Enjoys art

Hello, I’m Patricia. My family and I lived in Thornhill for 25 years, but my husband and I decided to purchase a condo in Markham Centre this year after my youngest son moved out. We were looking for something that would be comfortable for us during the retirement years. I still work at a bank in Downtown Toronto, but I plan on retiring within the next 2-5 years.

Markham Centre was an easy choice. Getting to work is relatively easy as I catch a GO train at the Unionville GO. Beyond that, the art scene in Markham Centre is quite unique. It seems that anywhere I look there’s public art – even in the parking garage! Nature is important to my husband, so the Rouge Valley was also an attractive feature. We hope that with time, more trails and parks will be created so that we can enjoy the Rouge Valley even more.
