What is Ellia at Unity and where is it?

Ellia at Unity is Treasure Hill’s townhome release in Markham near Major Mackenzie Drive East and Warden Avenue. The builder shows a dedicated townhome collection, and First Class Realty currently lists 2027 as an estimated occupancy year. That estimate is useful for a shortlist. Ask for a dated closing window against the specific lot and block before making decisions about a lease, a sale or school registration. The neighbouring Unity by Starlane collection has its own plans and timing.

The Major Mackenzie side of Victoria Square

For Ellia, I would start the visit at the Major Mackenzie end of the community. Check how you get out of the block at the time you normally leave, then compare a second route to Warden or the 404 connection. At the site, find the pedestrian exit that you would actually use to reach an existing sidewalk. If you plan to walk after dinner, try the route toward the Angus Glen Community Centre side in daylight and look at crossings, lighting and winter maintenance along the way.

A household that uses the Angus Glen library, pool or arenas can test a weekday stop there and a weekend visit to Victoria Square Park. If a small outdoor space is a reason you prefer a townhome, compare usable terrace depth, railing location and sun exposure. The closest park is only one part of the decision. It also matters whether an adult can step outside with a child or groceries without negotiating several stairs.

Where to shop and how to get to Union Station

Costco Richmond Hill on John Birchall Road is a bulk-shopping option west of this part of Markham. CF Markville at 5000 Highway 7 is a separate trip for a wider retail mix. When comparing this address to a home farther south, put the errands you actually do onto one route and see which fits a normal Tuesday. For downtown rail, compare Unionville GO with Centennial GO on the Stouffville line. The better station is the one with a workable train at your times and a reliable way to get there, including on a winter morning.

Which schools should an Ellia buyer look up?

Victoria Square Public School and Richmond Green Secondary School are public schools to check using the municipal address. YRDSB has mapped holding arrangements in parts of north Markham. That matters if the move falls between grades or the street is new. Richmond Green’s 2025 Fraser score was 8.3 out of 10, tied at 52 of 747. Victoria Square did not have a clearly identifiable rating in the report used here. Look at its EQAO results where published and ask about the transition from Grade 8 to high school for your address and year.

Families interested in independent schooling can also look at Town Centre Private Schools in Markham. Its elementary and secondary programs span different age groups and the Main Campus serves Grades 2–12. When arranging tours, confirm the campus and the intended intake year. Before choosing a floor plan around a particular school, test the morning trip from the door and account for after-school pickup separately.

What to verify before choosing a townhome

Compare the home you would actually buy against another floor plan with a similar price, including where the windows, stairs and storage sit. In a narrow plan, furniture clearance around the dining table can matter more than a larger bedroom number. Ask for the orientation and adjacent lot plan before using a model home to judge daylight or privacy. If you need a bedroom or an office on the entry level, check that the required room is part of the specific layout and confirm what the builder calls finished space.

Make a written list of the items that must be included for the home to work: parking, storage, yard or terrace, appliance openings and any required upgrades. Ask which costs are included in the agreement and who will maintain the exterior, shared lane or common landscaping. Map where a guest will park and walk to the front door. At the same time, compare the expected closing for that specific address with your financing, rental notice or sale of a current home.

Questions buyers ask

How should I compare Ellia’s floor plans?

Start with the room you are trying to add, such as a home office or a separate place for guests. Ask for the exact plan and version of the approved drawing. Check stair location, room dimensions, windows and terrace access against the lot so you can compare what you will use every day.

Can I plan a school start around the 2027 estimate?

Treat it as an estimated window. Get the expected closing for the lot and ask the board what evidence it requires for registration and which school would be assigned for the intended year. If closing could be after term starts, map an interim school and transportation plan before counting on a transfer.

School, transit and project resources

The school ratings use Fraser Institute’s 2025 Ontario report cards, which compare selected academic indicators from the 2023–24 school year. Use the linked EQAO results for more detail, and compare programs, student support and transportation when you visit. For school assignment, check the final municipal address, enrolment year and grade with the board, including any program boundaries, temporary placements or bus eligibility.

If you need to move around the start of a school term, plan for both an on-time closing and a delay. Ask the builder when the municipal address will be issued and which documents will be available for registration. Give the board the address, intended grade and enrolment year together. Ask when new streets are added to the locator, whether any temporary assignment applies, and how a transfer or school bus request works. Walk the likely route and check crossings, sidewalks and any construction detour. Save the dated response so you can revisit the plan if the closing moves.
