Best For
Buyers looking for a Mississauga home for sale in a community that feels like a small town in the big city.
In particular, we recommend Streetsville to first and second time buyers looking for affordable, stylish townhomes, affluent buyers looking for luxury, new build homes in park-like settings and investors looking for fixer-uppers with character in a neighbourhood where there’s still enough meat on the bones for a decent ROI.
Overview
Streetsville is a neighbourhood located in the northwestern corner of Mississauga. It’s one of our favourite communities in the entire Greater Toronto Area. It’s actually referred to as the “Village of Streetsville” and marketed as a “village in the city” and that’s what makes it so special; it has all the best qualities of small town living with all the conveniences of urban life.
Streetsville is just a great, all-rounder community. It has lovely, picturesque streets with both historic and contemporary homes. The schools are good. The local area amenities are great. There is a ton of natural outdoor spaces including parks and trails along the Credit River and the community has frequent events and festivals where the main streets come to life.
In 1850, Streetsville was called the “Queen of the County” and it still feels that way today. This neighbourhood feels old fashioned in all of the best ways possible – it’s a community that cares and is unified in their support and preservation of all the things that make Streetsville such a beautiful and charming neighbourhood. This is a ‘hood that people move up within, making Streetsville a home for life.
Why We Love Streetsville
It Retains a Unique Identity
Streetsville was a separate town up until 1974 when it was amalgamated into the City of Mississauga. The local BIA works hard to promote Streetsville as a destination and manage the beautification and maintenance of the village. Local residents volunteer on everything from historic preservation through Heritage Mississauga to the annual Streetsville Village Blitz cleanup event. And regular, neighbourhood events set Streetsville apart as a dynamic yet unified community.
In another show of community pride, Streetsville has actually kept many of its historic street names despite those roads now forming part of major Mississauga throughways. For example, Mississauga Road is called Queen Street in the stretch that runs through Streetsville and Bristol Road is Main Street.
We love the pride of place and sense of history that Streetsville residents uphold to this day.
It Celebrates Bread & Honey. For Real.
This community celebrates two of our favourite foods at the annual Bread and Honey Festival. The Festival started in 1973 as an effort to retain Streetsville’s unique identity as it merged with the larger City of Mississauga. The area has its roots in bread as a mill town and is still the location today of Kraft Canada and
The Bread and Honey Festival is held on the first weekend of June at Memorial Park and every entrant gets – you guessed it – unlimited, free bread and honey.
In addition to the Bread and Honey Festival, Streetsville has great, family-friendly Canada Day festivities, is home to Mississauga’s Santa Claus Parade and hosts the popular Taste of Streetsville in the fall for residents to sample local restaurants through affordable prix fixe menus.
A River Runs Through It
The Credit River runs through it with Streetsville which occupies both the east and west banks. The area directly surrounding both sides of the river is a mixture of parkland and wilderness with trails which is very pretty. Residents make use of this green space for family picnics and walking and jogging, accessed through Streetsville Memorial Park near the Vic Johnston Arena.
A word of caution – this part of the river has whitewater with Class II rapids which can become Class III in spring flood season and so it’s not an area for children to play unsupervised. It is however a popular stretch for canoeing, kayaking and rafting; we recommend you raft with a seasoned, professional crew.
