Lakeview

One of Mississauga’s up-and-coming waterfront communities, Lakeview sits along the shoreline of Lake Ontario. The neighbourhood borders nearby Mineola and Port Credit to the west, and Etobicoke’s Long Branch to the east. With plans for major community redevelopment (aka Lakeview Village) in the works, area homes are sure to appreciate in value.

Once completed, Lakeview Village will be home to a myriad of restaurants and shops, along with a pond that will be perfect for canoeing. Currently, the lively and pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods of Mineola, Port Credit, and Lorne Park offer plenty of shopping and entertainment options nearby.

If you’re a commuter, Lakeview is hard to beat. The community offers easy access to the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW), Lakeshore Road, and three different GO Stations.

Most of Lakeview’s residents are long-time homeowners. Many live in the area’s older bungalows—and have been in the area since the 1970s. There’s a pride of ownership here, not to mention some great opportunities for young buyers seeking affordable properties with good bones!

While it hasn’t undergone the mass gentrification that many Mississauga communities have, Lakeview has a whole lot to offer. One of the area’s biggest benefits is its location. Locals enjoy being on the lakeshore, and they can easily reach major highways and GO Stations. Lakeview is also very close to Etobicoke and Toronto to the east.

For those who enjoy retail therapy, the Dixie Outlet Mall, Square One Shopping Centre, and Sherway Gardens are all less than a 15-minute car ride away.

Families in Lakeview enjoy access to some fantastic schools. Local options include Westacres Public School, Gordon Graydon Memorial Secondary School, and Cawthra Park Secondary School.
