Today I'm going to talk about living in Mississauga Ontario and some cool things
to do in the city so stick around
Hello and welcome back to my channel I'm Sushma Khinvasara and I am a real estate
agent with Century 21 Green Realty in Toronto area. So let us take a look at
what it is like living in Mississauga and why you should consider investing
here. Do you know that Mississauga ranked as one of the best places to live in
Canada by MoneySense magazine in 2017? Mississauga is one of Canada's big
cities and is located at a short drive west of Toronto. The city is home to a
major international airport, having one of the lowest crime rates in Canada.
Mississauga is a safe city to live in plus many of the fortune 500 companies
have their offices in Mississauga like FedEx, Microsoft, Kraft and Pepsi making it
a great location for career advancement. Here are some important points to
consider. Number one, lower housing cost. Many young professionals who are looking
to get more bang for their buck are considering pre-construction condos in
Mississauga why? because prices are still low as
compared to downtown Toronto often below 900 dollars per square foot. One good
thing about the City of Mississauga is that they offer a tax rebate on annual
property taxes for low-income seniors and low-income persons with disabilities
who own and occupied their own home. The rebate is applied to your account to
offset property taxes. Visit Mississauga dot ca for more information. Number two,
strong rental demand. Mississauga is one of the preferred destinations for
new immigrants. According to 2016 census over forty percent of the city's
population consists of immigrants who arrived here over the past several years.
The reason they settled in the city can be good job opportunities, safety,
good schools or lower cost of housing as compared to Toronto. For an investor
one important reason to invest here is rental demand is strong, especially in
downtown Mississauga and Erin Mills area. You can draw a
connection between people arriving from other cities or other countries and
demand for rental units. Number three, good employment options. As I said
earlier major fortune 500 companies have set up their offices here. Residents of
Mississauga also have an option to work in nearby cities while enjoying quality
lifestyles that Mississauga offers. This brings us to our fourth point, quality of
life. According to the website Numbeo, Mississauga ranks very high in
overall quality of life. It scores favourably in purchasing power, health
care, traffic, commute, and pollution and moderate on safety, climate and cost of
living. Number five variety of shopping options. With over
350 stores in square one you'll absolutely find everything on your
wish list. Major departments stores such as The Bay and Walmart are represented here.
Other major malls include the newly renovated Erin Mills Town Centre which
boasts over 145 shops and services. For the best deals
don't miss the Dixie outlet mall which has over 100 stores offering huge
discounts or brand name fashions, footwear, electronics and home furnishing.
Just north of the city centre is the sprawling Heartland Center. This outdoor
shopping and dining complex offers seemingly endless choices. Outlets like
Club Monaco, Tristan, Harry Rosen and many more. Hungry
after shopping? You have got many choices available at Heartland like the
Applebee's or Eastside Mario's and fast foods such as Swiss Chalet, Harvey's and
Krispy Kreme. Number 6, schools. You want the best schools for your child.
No worries. Mississauga has some of the top public and private schools in which you
can enroll a child with the Kenollie public school
Mineola public school and Settlers Green public school and for older ones you
have John Fraser secondary school or Rick Hanson public school. There are
great private schools such as Mentor College and Blyth Academy. If you're
attending university or college we have University of Toronto Mississauga
campus and Sheridan College which offers you the variety of programs you can pick
from. Point number seven, activities. You can
drive around and visit the attraction Mississauga has to offer like Port
Credit which has much more to offer than just the marina. It has some of
Mississauga's favourite parks such as a Jack Darling Park and the Rattray Marsh
conservation area. Just to the east of Port Credit is Lakefront
Promenade park. On your free days you can have a family outing at the museums of
Mississauga like the Benares Historic House
Bradley Museum and the Leslie Log House. YMCA has a large health and fitness
centre and a newly renovated conditioning room, extensive youth and
community programs and childcare and camp services. Free parking is available
on-site for members. What makes Mississauga more interesting? There is a
vast array of cultures to be discovered here from amazing performances at the
Living Arts Centre or the Meadovale Theatre to events at Celebration Square residents
are able to choose from so many options. In the spring enjoy the three-day
multicultural Carassauga festival. So these are some of the reasons why you should
consider living and investing in Mississauga. If you liked this information
