TTC Line 1 from Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, GO Barrie line

Approximate, rounded figures for orientation. We look at live data for your actual search.

Vaughan is two cities in a trench coat: the high-rise, high-energy Vaughan Metropolitan Centre sitting on the subway line, and the leafy, art-gallery-adjacent village of Kleinburg twenty minutes north. Woodbridge, Maple and Thornhill fill in everything between.

Kleinburg feels like a village with a national art gallery attached. VMC is glass towers and a subway platform. Same city, two completely different lives.

Getting around

The only 905 city with a TTC subway station. Add GO Barrie line stations at Rutherford and Maple, Viva buses along Highway 7, and the 400/407 for drivers.

Schools

Well-rated public and Catholic schools, plus a deep bench of private options.

Green space

Kortright Centre, Boyd Conservation Park, the Humber River trails and Canada's Wonderland for the loud kind of nature.
