Living in Mississauga Valleys
Mississauga, ON — an established, green apartment-and-condo community east of the City Centre
What is the Mississauga Valley Community Centre?
The Mississauga Valley Community Centre and Library, at 1275 Mississauga Valley Boulevard, is the neighbourhood's hub. It combines recreation facilities with a library branch, and it sits beside Mississauga Valley Park, with sports fields, a splash pad, tennis courts and trails along Cooksville Creek. For residents of the surrounding towers and townhouses, having all of that within a short walk is a large part of the appeal. Check the City's site for current programs and hours.
What kind of homes are for sale in Mississauga Valleys?
Most listings are condo apartments in 1970s and 1980s towers on Kaneff Crescent, Mississauga Valley Boulevard, Lolita Gardens and Elm Drive, many with larger suites than newer buildings; our Mississauga Valleys condos page covers those towers and what to check in them. Condo townhouse complexes, several of them on Mississauga Valley Boulevard, are the next biggest group. Freehold houses are few, mostly semi-detached and detached homes on crescents such as Daralea Heights, Acala Crescent, Holden Crescent and Karen Park Crescent. When one comes up, it's often one of the more affordable ways to own a house this close to the City Centre. Search the city by type with Mississauga homes for sale and Mississauga townhouses for sale.
Who lives in Mississauga Valleys?
The neighbourhood is home to families, newcomers, seniors and first-time buyers, drawn by the parkland, the community centre and the short trip to Square One. Schools come under the Peel District School Board and the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, with several schools inside the neighbourhood; confirm the school for any address. MiWay buses serve the main roads, the City Centre Transit Terminal is close, and the Hazel McCallion Line will run along Hurontario Street on the western edge. Highway 403 is just north.
What should buyers check here?
Most homes here belong to condominium corporations that are forty or more years old, so the corporation's finances deserve as much attention as the unit: ask for the reserve fund study, the latest budget and any history of special assessments. In the townhouse complexes, find out which repairs are the corporation's and which are yours. For a freehold house, check the age of the roof, windows and mechanical systems, and ask about any basement water.
