Unionville housing, explained

A historic main street, and a 1960s housing market

Unionville is a case where the famous history and the actual repair opportunity sit in different places. The village was founded in 1794 by sixty-four German families brought over by William Berczy, the Eckhardt family built the Union Mills on Bruce Creek in the 1830s, and it was officially named Unionville in 1849. Its heritage conservation district study area was designated by by-law in 1976 and the district plan was approved in 1998. But the City of Markham’s own district plan states plainly that major housing development came to Unionville in the 1960s. Historic Main Street is a streetscape rather than a housing market, and the addressable stock is the 1960s through 1980s subdivision ring around it: two storey family homes on nailed plywood subfloor, now fifty to sixty years old. The newer Markham communities nearby, including Upper Unionville and Downtown Markham, are post-2005 and a different proposition.

Unionville squeaky floor questions

Unionville was founded in 1794. Why do you say the housing is from the 1960s?

Because the City of Markham's own Unionville district plan says so. The village founding date is real, and Main Street's historic buildings are real, but the plan states that major housing development came to Unionville in the 1960s. The heritage streetscape is a small number of protected buildings, while the neighbourhood most people live in is a 1960s to 1980s subdivision ring.

Is a 1960s Unionville house likely to squeak?

Very likely, yes. Homes from that era typically used plywood subfloor nailed rather than glued and screwed to the joists, and fifty to sixty years of seasonal movement is more than enough to loosen those connections. Two storey layouts in that ring also put bedrooms directly over living rooms, which makes the noise carry.

What about the newer Markham communities near Unionville?

Upper Unionville, Cathedraltown, Greensborough and Downtown Markham are all post-2005 developments, so they are too new for age-related squeaks. A noise in one of those homes is more likely a fastening detail, and depending on the age it may still fall within new home warranty coverage.
