Century 21 Real Estate Agent in Stouffville, Caryn Parchment understands this area well. Due to the town size and location in Stouffville proper, there is only one bus that runs through the town on a regular basis, which connects it with Markham. York Regional Transit provides this bus service. There are no buses running through the rest of Whitchurch-Stouffville; but, due to the region’s low traffic, proximity to highway 404, and several major rural roads its very easy to get around the whole municipality and out to other areas of the GTA by motor vehicle.

If you work in Toronto and want to live in the charming Stouffville community, there is one public transit option that will make your life easier.

Trains going through both stations will take you through Markham and Toronto and end at Union station in downtown Toronto in about an hour.
