Mississauga is home to hundreds of parks, ample community centres, as well as dozens of trails perfect for active families and residents who enjoy various types of recreation. The city’s prominent lakefront area is a hub of activity for boating, yachting, strolling along the shore, dining at lakeside restaurants, and boutique shopping.

Plenty of exciting events are held in Mississauga’s Celebration Square, bringing residents from across the city together. It’s where people go to ice skate, indulge in the cuisine from local street vendors, see contemporary installations from local artists, and browse goods at farmers’ markets and other events promoting local artisans

Being next door to Toronto allows residents to easily access the excitement, amenities, and opportunities within the province’s capital, while being able to retreat to the less congested urban centre in Mississauga. Though still at a premium, real estate in Mississauga can be more affordable than Toronto, which makes the city a viable option for professionals and families who commute often.

Real estate in Mississauga varies considerably. Near the waterfront is where many contemporary condos and townhomes are abundant, while a handful of heritage homes, and custom-built properties are also available. In upper neighbourhoods of the city like Streetsville you’ll find the largest collection of historical homes and newer properties modelled after the same style.

Western neighbourhoods in Mississauga house a wide variety of properties from typical single-family subdivision homes of the ‘80s and ‘90s and ranch-style bungalows, to townhomes and condo communities. Homes along Toronto’s border are varied as well, including bungalows, multi-storey homes, charming houses on generous lots, and custom-built homes.
