Many buyers Cecilia Guo, REALTOR®, works with want two things from Vaughan real estate: a short walk to transit and a strong school nearby. Vaughan has two GO stations on the Barrie line plus the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre subway terminal, and each has schools within a short distance.

Maple GO Station

Maple GO sits at Station Street near Major Mackenzie Drive and Keele Street, in the Maple Heritage Conservation District. St. Joan of Arc Catholic High School is about one kilometre west. Maple High School, Michael Cranny Elementary School, and Mackenzie Glen Public School all serve the surrounding streets. Cecilia Guo often shows homes in this pocket to buyers who commute downtown and want an established neighbourhood.

Rutherford GO Station

Rutherford GO, at 699 Westburne Drive between Keele Street and Dufferin Street, was rebuilt in 2023 with a large parking structure. The surrounding area includes Maple and the eastern edge of Vellore, with Emily Carr Secondary School further west on Rutherford Road. York Region Transit runs an On-Request service to both GO stations during weekday rush hours.

Vaughan Metropolitan Centre

The VMC subway terminal serves the fastest-growing part of the city. Schools here are still catching up: a joint YRDSB and YCDSB elementary school with 1,134 student spaces has been funded for the area. Cecilia Guo advises buyers of VMC condos to confirm current school assignments, which may be outside the immediate area until the new building opens.

Planning Ahead: Kirby GO

Metrolinx has a planned Kirby GO station north of Maple. Cecilia Guo watches this area closely for buyers thinking long term about the Ontario housing market 2026 and beyond.
