Neighbourhood guide

Mississauga

A big lakefront city with Port Credit, suburbs and a growing downtown.

Mississauga is a large city west of Toronto, on Lake Ontario. It has older lakefront streets, mature suburbs and newer communities in the north and west. The downtown core around Square One has the most condos. Prices vary a lot from one pocket to the next, so it helps to start with how you want to live and work.

The neighbourhoods

  • Port Credit: a lakeside village with a main street, a marina, GO train service and a mix of older detached homes, townhouses and condos.
  • Lorne Park: larger lots, tree-lined streets and big detached homes, close to Lakeshore and the lake.
  • Clarkson: quieter streets, a GO station and a mix of detached homes and townhouses.
  • Streetsville: a village feel on the Credit River, with a GO station on the Milton line and a walkable main street.
  • Meadowvale: planned in the 1970s with trails and parks, and a good supply of townhouses and detached homes.
  • Churchill Meadows: newer detached homes and townhouses in the northwest, with newer schools and shopping.
  • Erin Mills: established quiet residential streets, Erin Mills Town Centre and Credit Valley Hospital.
  • City Centre (Square One): high-rise condos, Celebration Square, the library and the bus terminal, with the future LRT nearby.

Homes and prices

TRREB reported September 2026 data. The average price across all home types in Mississauga was about $930,000, with a median of about $868,000, on 468 sales. By type, roughly:

  • Detached: about $1.29 million on average.
  • Semi-detached: about $870,000.
  • Townhouses: about $980,000 for freehold, and about $717,000 for condo townhouses.
  • Condo apartments: about $500,000.

Most resale homes sit between about $450,000 and $1.5 million. Lorne Park and parts of Port Credit run well above that range.

Getting around

Mississauga has two GO lines. The Lakeshore West line serves Port Credit, Clarkson and Long Branch area stations. The Milton line serves Cooksville, Erindale, Streetsville and Meadowvale. MiWay runs local buses and connects to the TTC at Kipling and Islington.

The Hazel McCallion Line (Hurontario LRT) will run from Port Credit to Brampton. As of August 2026, track work was about 75 per cent complete and vehicle testing had begun. Metrolinx has not given a passenger opening date, and early 2028 or later is the current expectation.

Highways 401, 403, 410, 427 and the QEW all cross the city. Pearson Airport is within city limits, and most areas are a short drive away.

Schools

Public schools are run by the Peel District School Board, and Catholic schools by the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board. Both offer French immersion in selected schools, and Peel runs Regional Learning Choice programs at some secondary schools, with applications opening in the fall. French-language schools are run by Conseil scolaire Viamonde and Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir. Programs vary by school, so check the catchment for any address you are considering.

Who it suits

  • Buyers who want a house with a yard and a school nearby.
  • Commuters who need highway or GO access in either direction.
  • Buyers looking for a condo close to shopping and the future LRT.
  • Downsizers who want a walkable village such as Port Credit or Streetsville.
