Markland Wood

Etobicoke's Secluded Suburban Retreat

About Markland Wood

Markland Wood is one of Etobicoke's most secluded and self-contained residential neighbourhoods, tucked into the southwest corner of the city near the intersection of Bloor Street West and Highway 427. Developed primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, the area features spacious homes on winding streets with generous setbacks, mature trees, and the kind of deep lots that are vanishingly rare in Toronto's newer developments. The neighbourhood revolves around the Markland Wood Golf Club and the Markland Wood Community Association, which organizes events and maintains the area's strong sense of community. Local shopping is concentrated at the Cloverdale Mall on the neighbourhood's eastern edge, while the Bloor West corridor provides additional retail options. Despite its secluded feel, Markland Wood benefits from excellent highway access via the 427 and proximity to the Kipling subway and GO station. For buyers seeking a large family home with privacy, greenery, and a suburban lifestyle within Toronto's borders, Markland Wood is one of the city's best-kept secrets.
