Community Overview
Armillo is at South West Corner of Wismer Community. Wismer runs from Markham Road on the East to Major Mackenzie Road on the North, 16th Avenue on the South and Mccowan Road on the West. Two significant roads, Castlemore Avenue and Bur Oak Avenue, run through the Community from east to West. And the other two major roads, Roy Raine Avenue and Mingay Avenue run through the Community from North to south. Wismer is an Asian ethnic dominant community in Markham. North of 16th Avenue and east of Markham Road, right behind Markham Museum, lies 28 restored heritage homes relocated from other parts of Markham. In past 3 months, 8 Town homes were sold at average of $1.07M. Furthermore, around 43% of residents in Wismer have received a university degree or higher. Driving to highway 404 is about 10 miles, but there have been long traffic jams along 16th avenue at peak hours due to the increasing population in the area. At the centre of the Community is Wismer Park, which provides soccer fields, a basketball court, tennis courts and children's playgrounds. Besides large retailers such as Food Basics Supermarket, No Frills Supermarket, PetSmart and The Home Depot, shoppers can also find many restaurants, banks, cafes, Furniture Stores and service-related stores. Wismer is a recent community in Markham where homebuyers can find newer and relatively affordable housing. Families choose to live here also because kids can attend top-tier schools and adults can enjoy convenient recreational facilities and shopping.
