Living in Woodbridge | around UpTown Woodbridge

It's the northern edge of the city, where newer subdivisions meet farm fields and the Humber River valley. Quiet streets, wide sidewalks, and a lot of families who moved here from further south in the GTA.

This page is about the area, not the floor plans. If you're trying to picture a normal Tuesday here, what the drive looks like, where you'd buy groceries, where the kids would play, this should help. Fieldgate Homes has not released details for the UpTown Woodbridge community in Vaughan yet, so nothing below claims to describe the buildings themselves.
