Streetsville

The roots of modern-day Streetsville stretch back to 1819, when it was surveyed as part of Toronto Township. The development of mills, a trading post, churches, a tannery, and several inns soon followed—and the area thrived. In 1974, the town amalgamated with Mississauga.

Today, this “village in the city” has a charm all its own—and it provides a strong sense of community. For these reasons, it’s long been a popular choice for Mississauga families. From Vista Heights to Creditview to Riverview, the area is full of brick heritage homes along its suburban streets. In addition to these historic homes, you’ll find many houses that were built in the 50s, 60s, and 70s (and some newer townhouse developments, too).

Many of your neighbours in Streetsville will likely be empty nesters, some of whom have lived in the area for upwards of 30 years. That said, a growing number of young families are also calling the community home, thanks to its good schools and well-established feel.

Streetsville offers a strong sense of community, plenty of green space, and some beautiful historic architecture. It’s also one of the few places in town where residents can actually walk to a downtown retail strip. Along Queen Street, there are shops, restaurants, and other services. Those looking for a bite to eat will want to check out Cagney’s Steakhouse and Wine Bar (best known for its caesar salad) and Goodfellas for its famous neapolitan pizzas.

Then, of course, there are the homes. Streetsville most definitely isn’t one of those residential neighbourhoods where all the houses look the same. This well-established area is full of unique houses—and its location means those who live here are never far from the action.

Streetsville has some of the best secondary schools in Ontario, including John Fraser and St. Aloysius Gonzaga. Elementary schools here rank well, though spaces tend to be limited.
