Originally billed as a "New Town in the Country" in the 1970s, Meadowvale has stayed true to its roots. It is defined by its winding streets, mature trees, and two stunning man-made lakes. It has a relaxed, unpretentious vibe that makes it one of the most comfortable places to raise a family in Mississauga.
Demographics
Meadowvale is a hardworking, middle-class community. It’s incredibly popular with families looking for more space on a budget. You see a real mix of original owners who bought in the 70s and young families moving in to renovate. It feels lived-in and friendly.
Schools
There are plenty of school options here. Meadowvale Secondary School and Mount Carmel Secondary are the local high schools, both with solid reputations. The sheer number of elementary schools tucked into the subdivisions means many kids can still walk to class without crossing major arteries.
Parks & Recreation
This is where Meadowvale shines. Lake Aquitaine and Lake Wabukayne are the focal points, surrounded by trail systems that let you bike or run for miles away from traffic. The Meadowvale Community Centre was recently rebuilt and is a fantastic modern facility with a library and pool.
Shopping & Dining
The Meadowvale Town Centre is the local hub for groceries and essentials. While it's not a high-end fashion destination, it has everything you need. For more extensive shopping, you are a quick drive to the Toronto Premium Outlets or Erin Mills Town Centre. The local pub scene is also great for a casual Friday night.
Transit Access
Meadowvale is a commuter favourite because of the Meadowvale GO Station. It’s a busy hub with heavy train and bus service to Union Station. Access to the 401 and 407 is immediate, making it ideal for those working in Brampton, Milton, or near the airport.

- Affordable Detached: You can find detached homes here at a lower price point than Streetsville or Erin Mills.
- Townhouse Complexes: There are many well-managed condo townhouse communities that are perfect for first-time buyers.
