King Township Real Estate
King Township sits north of Vaughan and operates at a completely different pace than the rest of the York Region. If you've been looking at homes in Vaughan or Richmond Hill but keep find that you're looking for something with more land, quieter surroundings, or more room between you and your neighbours, this is probably where that search ends up. The municipality covers a lot of ground and includes several distinct communities: King City, Nobleton, Schomberg, and Kettleby, spread across rolling farmland, forested ridgelines, and equestrian properties that have more in common with rural Ontario than with the GTA suburbs twenty minutes to the south.
King City is the most connected of the lot. There's a GO Train station with service into Union Station, which makes it a realistic choice for Toronto commuters who genuinely want countryside living and aren't willing to give up a manageable commute to get it. Nobleton and Schomberg are more rural in character and draw buyers looking for hobby farms, estate lots, and properties with room for horses or a market garden. The Oak Ridges Moraine runs through parts of King Township, and the provincial protections that come with it have kept development constrained in ways that buyers here tend to appreciate because it means the rural feel isn't going anywhere.
The housing stock is varied in ways you don't see in more urbanized municipalities. Custom-built estates on five or ten-acre lots, century homes that have been renovated over the years, and newer subdivision homes in King City village all exist within the same township. For buyers who are done with bidding wars on identical semis and want a property with actual land, King Township is worth spending time on.
