The Cachet neighbourhood is in west Markham. It is bounded by 16th Avenue to the south, Major Mackenzie Drive East at its farthest northern point, the Rouge River to the north and east, and Highway 404 to the west. Once farmland, the area is now mainly residential, with mostly single-detached homes with middle- to upper-income families. A commercial plaza lies off of 16th Avenue, and a very large shopping centre is to open at the intersection of Woodbine Avenue and Markland Street. In the eastern end of this neighbourhood lies a large golf course, and the homes in this area are estate-like, on large properties.
