The Cornell neighbourhood is in east Markham, bounded by Highway 407, Ninth Line, Donald Cousens Parkway, and Reesor Road. Unlike many other Markham communities, Cornell is a planned community, developed in the 1990s. Most of the houses are townhomes, semi-detached, or detached houses with garages at the rear. Amenities were placed centrally to avoid suburban sprawl and to create a walkable neighbourhood.
