ABOUT MISSISSAUGA REAL ESTATE

Mississauga is now fully built and there are no large scale new builder housing projects available. Churchill Meadows neighbourhood was the last new builder housing development that was completed in 2012. The only exception is new builder condominiums in Mississauga Square One.

Mississauga has limited supply of land and this is one of the major reasons why our real estate prices continue to grow year after year. The City estimates that the population of Mississauga will increase to 274,000 households by 2031. One-third of the population will be 55 years old by then. As of now, 1 in 10 Mississauga residents are new immigrants.

Mississauga offers some of the finest schools for your children to learn and prosper. You can always choose to live in an area based on Top Mississauga Schools.

To keep up with the housing demand, City of Mississauga is focusing on high density housing (like high, medium and low rise condominiums in Mississauga), affordable rental housing (rental apartment buildings), emergency shelters and supportive housing. In 2013, City of Mississauga approved a plan to permit second units /basement apartments within detached, semi-detached and townhouse dwellings, as per official plan polices, zoning regulations, and licensing requirements.  Aren't these enough reasons for you to consider moving to Mississauga?
