What is it like to live in Meadowvale?
Meadowvale was designed so that daily life happens on foot and by bike. Paths link the residential pockets to Lake Aquitaine and Lake Wabukayne, their trails and parks, and to schools, and Meadowvale Town Centre provides shopping, services and a transit hub. The street names follow themes, such as Spanish and Portuguese places around Montevideo and Formentera and Canadian towns around Battleford and Glace Bay, which makes the pockets easy to tell apart. Meadowvale GO, on the Milton line, is on the neighbourhood's north side, and Highways 401 and 407 are close. Schools come under the Peel District School Board and the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board; confirm the school for any address.
What should buyers check in a 1970s townhouse complex?
Meadowvale's townhouse complexes are among the most affordable ways to own a home with a yard in Mississauga, but each corporation is different. Before firming up, read the status certificate and reserve fund study and look for recent or planned work on roofs, windows, siding, fences and paving; well-run complexes have done it on schedule, while others face catch-up costs. Ask what the fee includes, whether water is metered per unit, and how parking works. Inside, check the electrical panel, plumbing and any basement dampness.
