Streetsville has a soul of its own. Founded in 1821, it existed long before Mississauga was a city, and it has fiercely protected that small-town identity. Walking down Queen Street, you pass historic brick buildings, local barbershops, and the town square. It doesn't feel like suburbia; it feels like a genuine community with deep roots.
Demographics
Streetsville is incredibly family-friendly but also attracts history buffs and young couples wanting character homes. It’s a very social neighbourhood. You’ll see neighbours chatting on front porches and the entire town comes out for the annual Bread and Honey Festival and the Christmas Market.
Schools
The schools here are a major draw. Vista Heights Public School is legendary in Mississauga for its high academic ranking and French Immersion program. Streetsville Secondary School is also centrally located and has a strong reputation. Families often move specifically into the Vista Heights catchment area.
Parks & Recreation
The Credit River runs right through the village, offering beautiful trails for hiking and fishing at Streetsville Memorial Park. The Vic Johnston Community Centre is the heart of local sports, home to the local hockey leagues and a hub for community events.
Shopping & Dining
Forget big box stores; Streetsville is about "Shop Local." Main Street is packed with gems like The Tea Room, classic pubs like The Franklin House, and trendy spots like Goodfellas Pizza. There is a palpable pride in supporting local businesses here.
Transit Access
This is a commuter’s dream location. The Streetsville GO Station is right in the village, offering train and bus service to Union Station. You are also just minutes from Highway 401 via Mississauga Road, making it easy to head east or west.
