Woodbridge is the western half of Vaughan and the community most closely associated with the city. The historic core around Market Lane and Woodbridge Avenue sits on the Humber River; around it are the subdivisions that built the area’s reputation for large family homes: Weston Downs, Sonoma Heights, Vellore Woods, Islington Woods and the streets off Pine Valley Drive.
Lots are big, garages are double, and many homes have been rebuilt or extensively renovated, which keeps resale demand high. The Highway 427 extension to Major Mackenzie Drive opened in 2021 and cut the drive to Pearson and Mississauga considerably; the 407 and Highway 7 cover the east-west trips. Boyd Conservation Park and the Humber trails give the area its green edge.
