True to its motto of "country close to the city", Stouffville is a charming town approximately 50 kilometres north of downtown Toronto. The town’s growth has been on the rise since 2011 but it has still retained its small town and close-knit community feel which draws many prospective buyers to consider the Stouffville real estate market for their new home.

Whitchurch-Stouffville encompasses a number of smaller communities including Stouffville, Gormley, Ballantrae and Vandorf, to name a few, and is surrounded by countryside as well as the Oak Ridges Moraine. To encourage economic growth, the town also offers incentives for people for commercial real estate in downtown Stouffville. The Community Improvement Plan enables a business owner to apply for funding for signage and façade improvements thereby improving business prospects and keeping the look of its commercial endeavours updated.
