With ample greenspace, beautiful natural landscapes, a magnificent waterfront, and a bustling downtown core, Mississauga is a great alternative to the metropolitan City of Toronto—and with more affordable real estate options. It’s also home to Toronto Pearson International Airport, which is responsible for much of Mississauga’s growth, as more businesses and commuters have chosen to call Mississauga home because of the convenience and municipal development resulting from the airport’s construction.

Port Credit

Mississauga’s Port Credit neighbourhood is complete with premium lake-front views, popular restaurant options, and convenient GO Transit stations. There are endless opportunities for water recreation, especially along the Credit River, where residents enjoy canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating, as well as yachting. 

The Port Credit waterfront is recognized as one of the best in Ontario and features hundreds of retailers, including restaurants, entertainment venues, and specialty stores. This neighbourhood also features excellent transit options, access to major highways, and it’s just minutes from Toronto. Homes in Port Credit range from townhomes and condos to custom-designed bungalows and a handful of heritage homes. For premium waterfront living in a charming community, Port Credit is a great choice.

City Centre

Mississauga’s City Centre neighbourhood is characterized by two unique condo towers known for their curved design, and is one of the most vibrant GTA communities. As a master-planned community, Mississauga’s City Centre is home to the local government and features many attractive amenities including a large community park where public art is displayed, The Living Arts Centre, where you can catch live performances and explore the exhibition gallery, and Celebration Square, an outdoor arena featuring a park and amphitheatre where residents can participate in many community events, go for a winter skate, or enjoy a bite to eat from local vendors. 

The largest shopping centre in Ontario, Square One Shopping Centre, and the Sheridan College Hazel McCallion Campus are both steps from the heart of this neighbourhood. Homes in Mississauga’s City Centre mainly include high-rise condos and townhomes that blend seamlessly with the streetscape.

Streetsville

In the northwest corner of Mississauga lies the charming community of Streetsville, otherwise known as “The Village In The City” for its quaint atmosphere and small-town feel. This neighbourhood is both conveniently located next to the GO Transit station and bordered by the beautiful Credit River Valley, so residents can enjoy the simple lifestyle of a small community without sacrificing the convenience of the big city.

There are over 300 shops in Streetsville, and an active Business Improvement Association that works to maintain the appeal of the community and hosts a number of events throughout the year for residents and shoppers coming from around the city.

Locals can enjoy opportunities for family fun at places like the Vic Johnston Community Centre, which is also home to the Hazel McCallion Hall where many community events are held. The Streetsville Memorial Park behind the community centre is a serene greenspace that features a pool, soccer field, baseball diamond, and a path that follows the winding Credit River. The Annual Founders’ Bread & Honey Festival is held in the park each year, and is Mississauga’s largest festival!

Homes in Streetsville are unique and range from historical properties to detached homes and townhomes with historically-inspired architecture. With excellent access to public transit, peaceful surroundings, and countless options for family entertainment, Streetsville is a popular neighbourhood in the city for those looking for a change of pace, close-knit community, and friendly environment.
