In a region where customers are price sensitive, a new offering from Liberty Development is turning heads for all the right reasons.
Carousel Towns at Thornhill Walk — the first phase of Liberty’s new master-planned community near Bathurst and Rutherford — is delivering contemporary family-sized townhomes with generous terraces, smart design, and a starting price point that’s nearly unheard of in Thornhill.
At just $974,900 for a three-bedroom, 1,517 sq. ft home, Carousel Towns is proving that well-located, quality-built housing doesn’t have to come at nosebleed prices.
And thanks in part to reduced development charges, Liberty Development’s intention is to offset rising construction expenses – and, ultimately, to share savings with purchasers.
“The reduction in development charges has come at a good time, enabling us to offer Carousel Towns at an exceptional value,” says Dan Flomen, President of Oracle Group Realty, who are heading the community’s sales.
A Community That Walks the Walk
Carousel Towns is the first chapter in Thornhill Walk, a thoughtfully envisioned neighbourhood that blends urban connectivity with small-town warmth.
Pedestrian-friendly design underpins the entire master plan, where tree-lined streets, nearby parks, and vibrant local amenities define the pace of everyday life. Crafted by Kohn Partnership Architects Inc., with landscaping by NAK Design Strategies, the community's aesthetics blend beautifully with the vibrant surrounding neighbourhood.
From strolling to the bakery on a Sunday morning to taking in the fall colours at Mill Race Park, the experience at Thornhill Walk is all about balance: modern comforts, walkability, and a setting that celebrates both tradition and inclusion.
“People want to live in Thornhill,” notes Marco Filice, Liberty’s Senior Vice President — it’s a town where Liberty has sold and delivered over 3,000 new homes since 2003. “And with such an efficient, livable design, it’s a combination that’s hard to beat.”
Smart Features, Outdoor Space
Each townhome in Carousel Towns includes a minimum 190 sq. ft. private terrace, complete with a gas line for BBQs — a rare perk in a new-build at this price point. It’s part of a broader focus on functionality, where every square foot has been maximized for everyday living.
Inside, homes are designed with growing families and long-term usability in mind. With interiors by Tanner Hill Associates Inc., layouts are open, practical, and purpose-driven — offering a level of space (and opportunities for solitude) hard to find in traditional stacked units or condos.
Convenience That Complements Community
Beyond the homes themselves, Thornhill Walk is anchored by its proximity to essential amenities — from shopping and dining to schools, healthcare, parks, and public transportation. Just down the street, Promenade Shopping Centre (also managed by Liberty Development along with partners Serruya Private Equity) provides convenient access to retail and everyday needs, while public transit along Bathurst connects residents to the wider region with ease.
Families will appreciate the range of nearby educational options, while healthcare needs are covered too, with nearby access to several medical and wellness centres.
For those who love the outdoors, green space is never far. Residents can enjoy weekend walks through Pioneer Park, Mill Race Park, or Richvale Greenway Park, while Wood Valley Park, Wood’s Park, and Tannery Park offer additional space to unwind or get active.
Cultural and recreational offerings are also close at hand. The Richvale Community Centre and Pool, and destinations like the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts round out a lifestyle that’s rich in both activity and connection. Golfers can head to Eagles Nest or Richmond Hill Golf Club, and shoppers are just a short drive from Hillcrest Mall.
Finally, dining in the area reflects Thornhill’s character: welcoming, diverse, and community-driven. Residents can grab a coffee at Aroma Espresso Bar or Café Landwer, enjoy Italian at Parola Ristorante, or explore favourites like Longo’s, FreshCo, and local standout Stroganoff.
Momentum Already Building
Carousel Towns officially launched with an exclusive open house event earlier this spring, drawing interest from buyers and real estate watchers alike.
“Indeed, the mix of livable space, outdoor access, and strong location is already positioning Thornhill Walk as a standout entry in the GTA’s suburban growth narrative,” says Shawn Richardson, Director of Sales & Marketing at Liberty Development. “Especially for buyers looking to root themselves in the region without compromising on lifestyle or value.”
