Homes Markham Village includes a large selection of historic homes from the mid to late 1800s and early 1900s. Some of these are quite grand, others are very modest in stature and appearance. All are well maintained with a pride of ownership. As you fan out from the Main Street the homes vary in style and are representative of the various decades in the 1900s. Included among these homes are ranch bungalows, split-level homes, colonial revival houses and custom infill housing with attached garages at front or side typical of newer subdivisions. The streets are rustic with no sidewalks and the they are well treed creating a countrified feel. The lots tend to be large which has led to some houses being torn down and replaced with custom new homes.
