Central Vaughan · Vaughan, Ontario
Maple
A central Vaughan community built around an older village core and decades of surrounding subdivisions, with GO Transit access and a wide spread of home ages and property types.

Maple grew around the historic crossroads of Keele Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, and part of the original village is now protected as a Heritage Conservation District. Its combination of established housing, newer subdivisions and direct GO rail access gives buyers a different set of options than neighbouring Kleinburg, Woodbridge and Vellore Village.
Housing in Maple
- Older detached homes and bungalows near the historic Maple core.
- Established subdivisions built across several decades, with detached, semi-detached and townhome options.
- Newer townhomes and condominium development around major corridors and intersections.
- A mix of lot sizes and housing ages depending on the specific pocket.
Everyday life and amenities
- Maple Community Centre on Keele Street is a major local recreation hub, with a pool, arena, fitness facilities, gymnasium and library.
- Canada's Wonderland is immediately southwest of much of Maple, near Jane Street and Highway 400.
- Parks and recreation facilities throughout the residential areas.
- Shopping and services along Major Mackenzie Drive, Keele Street and other major commercial corridors.
- Local history: Maple's roots go back to the 1800s. The community was previously known as Noble's Corner and Rupertsville before becoming Maple, a name believed to have been inspired by the maple trees that once lined Keele Street. Maple also once had its own airport — Maple Airport operated from 1955 to 1987 near Major Mackenzie Drive and Jane Street before the area was redeveloped.
Getting around and commuting
Highway 400 runs along the western side of the broader Maple area. For buyers who rely on GO Transit, Maple has a clear advantage over many parts of Vaughan because Maple GO is located within the community. Rutherford GO may be closer for some parts of the community. Which station is more convenient depends on the specific street, so check it against any home you're considering.
Who Maple tends to suit
- Buyers who want a broad mix of established and newer housing.
- Buyers who prioritize direct access to GO rail service.
- People who want suburban housing while staying relatively central within Vaughan.
- Buyers who value access to recreation, major roads and everyday services.
