Newmarket is part of the Greater Toronto Area and Golden Horseshoe of Southern Ontario, and is the regional seat of York Region. For over a century, the downtown area has been a hub of commerce and cultural activity.
Today, though numerous more modern plazas and malls have been built over the years, "Main Street" remains the social and cultural centre of the town, offering many shopping, dining, strolling and people-watching options...including being adjacent to Fairy Lake...
Fairy Lake and park - where early settlers built a mill in the 1800's - is also known as Wesley Brooks Conservation Area. On Water Street at the foot of Main, the Lake and Park are "an urban oasis in the heart of historic downtown" and serve as the venue for many of the Town's festivals, celebrations and outdoor shows.
Some of Newmarket's more notable institutions & landmarks include Southlake Regional Health Centre [hospital], York Region's Administrative Building, The Old Town Hall gallery & theatre, historic Pickering College - a private day and boarding school - as well as a campus of Seneca College, The Tannery [mall & administrative offices/services], Upper Canada Mall, and many parks & recreation centres.

Andrew was so patient with me for helping us buying our house and selling our last house. I was not able to get home to put my house for sale but Andrew went above beyond to get it ready and sold it for asking price. I highly recommend this realtor and I will have him to list our house again and again. Andrew, Thank you so much for everything you do and have done for us.
We considered ourselves lucky to have found Andrew to be our rep for buying another house. Very experienced, professional, approachable, gave us great advice. Inspite of this crazy market Andrew was patiently guiding us through it all. Many thanks !!! Highly recommended !
Andrew has been great the whole time. He gave us his honest opinion and was available when we needed him. He was very pleasant to deal with and made buying a home a little less stressful. We would recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a home
Andrew Gibson was referred to us with glowing reviews. He lived up to them. Very professional and helpful, quick to respond, and most importantly, he actually listened to us. He sold our house for a great price and left us and the buyers feeling like they had a positive experience. We have referred him to friends lately and they have also been very pleased.
Andrew was professional but not in anyway pushy. He was fast to provide information on homes and not shy to tell us if he felt the home was not a good fit for us. Andrew was still available with advise and help even after the sales agreement was signed. We highly recommend Andrew and would not hesitate to use him for any real estate needs in the future.
