万锦市的版图不断向东北部延展，有的地方几年之间由荒野变成住房街区，如此大面积的规划建设，这在整个大多市也是不多见的。这次介绍的小区地理边界西起肯尼迪路，东至麦考文路，南起16街，北至麦肯奇大道。
俯瞰整个街区，除去西南角的农田尚未开发，其余全部建成了新房，房龄大约在15年左右，小区中间由北而南一条不知名的小溪蜿蜒而下，发展商因地制宜沿着小溪规划建成了两个占地巨大的公园，若是沿着公园走上一圈怕是要花上个把小时。区内有两间小学Castlemore P.S.和Stonebridge P.S.，一间以加拿大前总理的名字命名的高中Pierre Elliott Trudeau，这也是万锦地区的法语强化学校。由于是新小区，校龄短，很难根据这两年的EQAO成绩作评判，如果非要依此排名的话，几间学校的成绩都还是很不错的。
这里的房屋房型多样，从独立房，半独立，到无管理费镇屋，门类齐全。结构上多为两层，其中有些是独立车库可从后院进出，有些是内嵌式车库。因为房子新，价格适中，成为很多年轻移民家庭喜爱的社区。从区内的人口构成来看，以华人为主，兼有其他族裔，当中新移民占有相当的比例。
经过几年的发展，小区内的绿化逐渐形成，工地式的新区环境渐渐被整齐划一的街区所取代。由于新移民普遍重视教育，相信区内的学校依然会保持良好的向上姿态。在生活方面，街角的小型商场挤满了新开张的店铺，记得有间华人超市也挂起了牌子。如果从未来的发展看，小区内没有铁路，高速，高压线等不良影响，也没有公寓楼房增加人口密度，将会是个适合家庭生活并拥有价值增长潜力的社区。
Fisherman's Village's northwest corner, locally known as Cachet, is bordered by Woodbine to the west, Warden to the east, starting from 16th Street in the south, and ending at Major Mackenzie Drive in the north. This large square community is divided into two parts by a stream, with the streets in the north sparsely populated and consisting entirely of deep estates occupying more than an acre, so there aren't many households in total. From afar, the red bricks and gray tiles are hidden among dense trees, giving off a hint of mystery. The residents here are mainly locals.
The southern part of this area is a relatively new community of over a decade, almost entirely composed of large houses ranging from three to five thousand square feet, making the streets neat and grand. Listening to the names of these streets, such as Golden Tulip, Silver Rose, and White Lotus, it seems like this is a botanical garden. Perhaps because when the houses were built over a decade ago, land wasn't as scarce, the lots in Cachet are quite large, and the distance between houses is spacious, unlike the new houses nowadays, all crowded together. Similar to Bayview Hill, there are many families of Hong Kong immigrants here.
Apart from a few Bungalows among the luxurious houses in the north, most houses in Cachet are two-story buildings. Due to their large size and good planning, this area has become another high-priced community in Markham, apart from Fisherman's Village and Angus Glen. The reason why Fisherman's Village is so well-known is, of course, related to its history, but what Chinese people value more seems to be the recognition of the schools in the area. In fact, the high school within the Cachet area, St. Augustine, is also very prestigious. It's just that because it is a Catholic school, there are fewer Chinese students enrolled.
Geographically, Cachet and Bayview Hill are located on the same latitude, just separated by Highway 404. Currently, the listed prices for houses in this area are approximately between 900,000 to 1.5 million dollars, which seems quite expensive, but compared to Bayview Hill, there are price advantages here. In the Cachet area, there are still so-called large houses with three-car garages listed at just over 900,000 dollars, but it's rare to see houses listed below 1 million dollars in Bayview Hill.
Usually, it is believed that in a hot market, big houses sell well, while in a slow market, big houses are hard to sell. Judging the future market trends is subjective, and understanding the value of regional houses requires a lot of detailed work. As development continues around Markham, the value of the Cachet community will be increasingly recognized by more people.
