Overview
Erin Mills is a unique neighbourhood in the City of Mississauga in that it’s a purpose-built community centred on Erin Mills Town Centre, the city’s largest shopping mall. This planned community in the centre of Mississauga was developed by the Cadillac Fairview Corporation on what was 8,000 acres of farmland, now transformed into a vibrant residential and commercial neighbourhood with additional industrial areas around the perimeter.
Erin Mills has been developed over phases with the first three being central Erin Mills along with the South and West pockets, phase four being Churchill Meadows which borders Milton in one of the most rural parts of Mississauga. Outside of Churchill Meadows, most residents view the other phases as making up one, autonomous “Erin Mills” community.
Erin Mills is well known for its newer subdivisions, custom homes, shopping mall and community centre but it isn’t all about buildings and big business. Sugar Maple Forest runs through the middle of Erin Mills, just north of Erin Mills Town Centre off of Glen Erin Drive. It provides wonderful walking trails for residents looking to escape to nature.
Erin Mills is convenient for commuters as it has easy access to a highways as well as the Milton, Erin Dale and Streetsville GO stations and Mississauga local transit.
Why We Love Erin Mills
The Shops Are Tops
Erin Mills Town Centre is the second largest shopping mall in Mississauga with over 130 stores. After undergoing a massive, $100 million transformation, Erin Mills Town Centre is known for its high, glass ceilings and beautiful, contemporary design (even the food court is stunning), serving as a film location for several major motion pictures.
The mall holds multiple family events during the holidays and over the summer making it a landmark destination for local residents beyond serving shoppers alone.
Plus, The Schools Get Top Marks
John Fraser Secondary School is consistently rated one of Mississauga’s top high schools. The elementary schools are, on the whole, considered average but it’s that top-rated John Fraser Secondary School that draws families to the area, in hopes that their kids will get an A+ prep for college or university.
John Fraser excels both at academics and athletics and other, extracurricular activities. The staff also put a strong focus on working collaboratively with parents and caregivers, viewing education and life skills preparation through a “it takes a village” lens.
St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary Catholic High School is also highly revered.
And It Boasts a State-of-the-Art Community Centre
Use of the Erin Mills Community Centre is a huge bonus for locals who benefit from the six-lane swimming pool, fitness studio, sporting leagues and stellar library.
