I'm quite familiar with the area as I grew up just south of there (Huntingwood). Everything others have said is pretty accurate. There have been a number of grow-ups so be careful of the houses that are up for sale.
I was considering the area a couple years back but had concerns regarding the "Finch Hydro Corridor" (as I had mentioned here: http://forums.clubsi.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=25&Number=6860918)

I hate that area for the traffic, steeles/vic park/warden, it's all one HUGE cluster fuck.
You said your wife works DT, how does she plan on getting down there?
Isn't the area turning more brown with Asians moving out?

So yeah, signed up for Observatory Hill (new home development) for the hell of it, bayview just north of 16th. No price released yet but got a sneak peak via a survey they just sent out......
Rear Lane Towns from $900,000* Semis from $1,100,000* 36’ Singles from $1,300,000* 45’ Singles from $1,700,000* 50’ Singles from $1,900,000*
WHAT IN THE FUCKING FUCK!? brb going to jump off the bloor st. viaduct like risky does. granted shouldn't be surprised given pricing these days AND the location. 4 builders (all reputable names) and they say "luxury" homes, but wth they better be using some nice ass quality materials for that price. i just find builders now are also gouging ppl on new home builds, greedy fucks (yet ppl here pay - *ahem mainlanders). hey i'm not complaining since i'm already in a solid place/area but i feel for new buyers since NEW homes were the last resort for ppl to buy at a decent price...now it's like you're fucked from the start. if market drops, they've already overpaid lulz.
it's funny too because i'll see signs on hwy 404N or around showing phase 1 of the new dev's going for say "low 500's"...then by the time they sell those in ONE DAY, phase 2 is up going for "high 600's"...yet it's the SAME size houses lol
the homes at major mack and leslie (85 luxo singles) all started at 1.3mil and up, sold out in 12 days...shocker. - at least those started at 3150sqft and up doe.

Who's buying it besides mainlanders? There's been a big surge from the Middle East in recent years. I don't know if they're flocking to these Markham/Richmond Hill areas though.
Yup. Richmond Hill/Thornhill (and lesser extent Markham) is 'known' in parts of Iran now, where they apparently have even been featured on TV stations - cray. Mind you it's way more mainlanders coming here now and persian folks are less than before here (but still move in once in awhile).

So the Observatory Hill community "opens" in Spring 2016. Does that mean (1) that is when the sales office opens (2) when construction begins or (3) when they are projecting people will move in?
Slim chance of it being #3, most likely #2. If it's #1, then you can expect prices to increase even more.
