About Mississauga
Where are the bungalows in Mississauga?
Mississauga’s bungalows are mostly in the parts of the city built first. Near the lake, Lakeview, Mineola, Lorne Park and Clarkson have many postwar bungalows on wide, treed lots. In the middle of the city, Cooksville, Applewood and Erindale have streets of 1950s and 1960s bungalows close to shopping and transit. Streetsville has some as well, near its historic main street. The newer northern and western neighbourhoods, such as Churchill Meadows, were built mostly with two-storey homes and townhouses.
Can I add a basement apartment to a Mississauga bungalow?
Often, yes, and a bungalow is one of the easiest homes to do it in. Ontario now allows up to three units on most urban lots with city water and sewer: the main home plus two more, such as a basement unit and a garden suite. A bungalow’s full-size basement and side door make that simpler. Any new unit still needs a building permit and has to meet the building and fire codes, including ceiling height, exits and fire separation. If a listing already has a basement apartment, ask whether it was built with a permit. An unpermitted unit can cost money to fix and can affect your insurance.
Why are so many Mississauga bungalows being rebuilt?
In Mineola, Lorne Park and parts of Lakeview, many buyers purchase an older bungalow for its lot. They tear it down and build a large new home in its place. That is why you will see modest bungalows next to much bigger new houses on the same street. If you want to keep and live in the bungalow, expect competition from builders for the best lots. If you want to rebuild, check the zoning for the lot first, along with any tree permits. For homes near the Credit River or a creek, check the conservation authority’s rules too. Credit Valley Conservation covers most of the city.
What should downsizers look for in a Mississauga bungalow?
A bungalow lets you live on one floor while keeping a yard and a garage. Walk the home with the next twenty years in mind. Count the steps at the front door and into the garage, check for a main-floor laundry, and look at the bathroom for a walk-in shower or room to add one. A basement unit can also bring in rent or house family nearby. If you would rather have no yard work at all, compare Mississauga condos, or look at Port Credit condos for lakeside living on one floor.
What should I check before buying an older Mississauga bungalow?
Many of these homes are sixty years old or more, so plan for a careful inspection. Check the wiring and panel, the plumbing supply lines, the roof, and the basement for moisture. Some older homes still have galvanized steel water pipes, which can narrow and leak with age. Ask about any past oil tank and whether it was removed with records. Our home inspection guide covers what to ask for. For price trends, the Mississauga detached home market report tracks sold prices each month.

Mississauga FAQ
Which Mississauga neighbourhoods have the most bungalows?
Lakeview, Mineola, Lorne Park and Clarkson in the south, and Cooksville, Applewood and Erindale in the centre. Streetsville has some too. The newer northern neighbourhoods have very few.
Can I rent out the basement of a Mississauga bungalow?
Usually, if the unit is legal. Ontario allows up to three units on most urban lots, but the basement unit needs a building permit and must meet the building and fire codes. Ask for permit records on any existing unit.
What is a raised bungalow?
A raised bungalow is a one-storey home set higher above the ground. The basement is partly above grade, so it has larger windows and more light, which makes it popular for a second unit.
Why do some Mississauga bungalows sell for so much?
In areas like Mineola and Lorne Park, the lot can be worth more than the house, because builders buy older bungalows to replace them with large new homes. Lot size and location drive the price more than the house itself.
Is a bungalow or a condo better for downsizing in Mississauga?
A bungalow gives you one floor, a yard and no condo fee. A condo gives you one floor and no outdoor upkeep, but adds a monthly fee. It depends on how much yard work and maintenance you still want.
