Where suburban comfort meets city energy

Parks shopping university location

You feel the energy of Vaughan the moment you drive past the mosaic of historic hamlets—Woodbridge, Maple, Concord, Thornhill, Kleinburg—that now buzz with new apartment communities, leafy parks, and big-city comforts. Vaughan sits tucked just north of Toronto in York Region, giving you both that suburban calm and easy access to urban vibes.

Everyday life in Vaughan hums with choice. Want to stretch your legs? Boyd Conservation Area offers riverside trails and green reprieve. Shopping and weekend plans? Canada's Wonderland and Vaughan Mills are local go-tos, and the Visit Vaughan directory is bursting with cafés, boutiques, and events waiting to be explored. It’s well-connected, too: the TTC’s line reaches all the way into Vaughan Metropolitan Centre via the subway extension that opened in late 2017. If you’re apartment hunting, you’ll find a mix, from modern loft-style units to low-, mid-, and high-rise buildings to townhomes that feel like your own little corner of the world. The city's housing strategy even highlights townhouses and mid-rise apartments as part of its ongoing development plans. You’ll discover a variety of apartment communities with amenities like in-unit laundry, balconies, or shared lounges.

On the academic side, Niagara University in Ontario runs Vaughan’s first local university campus. It offers graduate and post-baccalaureate programs like education and business, right in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. They recently expanded with the new Cortellucci Family Hall, a sleek 18,000-square-foot building with modern classrooms, student lounge areas, event spaces, and faculty offices. Also on the way is a brand-new York University School of Medicine, slated to open beside Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital in 2028. Until then, its first students will begin at York’s Keele Campus.
