In this instalment of neighbourhood tour of
Mississauga we will take a closer look at the
eastern neighbourhood of Lakeview.
So stick around
Hello everyone! I am Sushma
and I’m happy to have you back in my channel.
Is this your first time to hear about Lakeview?
Or maybe you are interested in visiting or moving
into this neighbourhood?
Let us explore.
Lakeview is one of the waterfront communities
in Mississauga,
located east of Port Credit and
along the northern shores of Lake Ontario.
Formerly an industrial area, this neighbourhood
was known for its four smokestacks
called as “4 sisters” of the
Lakeview Generating Station.
The “4 sisters’ were the tallest structures in the
area until it was demolished in 2006,
and the generating plant the following year.
Additionally, Lakeview is also home to
Lakeview Water Treatment Plant and
G. E. Booth Wastewater Treatment Plant.
With its location, you can have easy access to the
waterfront which is extensively developed
with trails and parks.
Did you know that KFC’S Colonel Sanders used
to live in the area while
supervising franchises in Canada?
Lakeview is a commuter-friendly location
with Toronto just a few minutes away,
Port Credit and Long Branch GO Stations for
public transport and highway access
through QEW.
Let us take a closer look now at what this
neighbourhood has to offer!
First, Golf Courses and parks
Popular attractions in Lakeview mostly promotes
an active outdoor lifestyle.
To start with, we have Lakeview Golf Course and
Toronto Golf Club on Dixie Road
which feature challenging layouts as well as
scenic views of sloping green landscape.
These golf courses hosted
the Canadian Open many times which tells us of
the championship standard of these courses.
There are many lakefront and neighbourhood
parks in Lakeview which makes it a perfect
place for families with young children.
Some of the best parks are Cawthra Park
which has towering mature trees and calm trails
that are always beautiful no matter what
season it is,
The Village Green Park - a well-maintained place
with modern park playground
and new paved path.
Near to the lakefront is the Lakeview Park which
features a soccer field,
baseball diamond, gazebos and
a waterfront trail that connects to the
Lakefront Promenade Park,
a park with boardwalks, splash pad,
picnic areas and marina.
Next, Schools and Library
Some of the schools in Lakeview include
Lakeside Montessori School located on
Lakeshore Road for toddlers and preschool
programs along with French, music, and drama.
The TFS Canada's International School
on Meredith Ave.
for Pre-K to Grade 7 focuses on arts, science and
humanities programs.
For public schools, you have the Allan A Martin
Middle School in Ogden Ave.
and Cawthra Park
Secondary School on Cawthra Rd.
Next to that is the St. Paul Secondary School, a
Catholic high school.
The Lakeview Library in Atwater Ave. has
children’s multimedia workstation and
lots of learning and social activities programs that
run through the entire year.
Adding to that, the place has a very quiet and nice
atmosphere and also next to the Serson Park
where you can walk around or take your kids to the
playground after visiting the library.
Third, Shopping.
Another popular and convenient place in this
neighbourhood is the Dixie Outlet Mall along QEW,
a go-to destination for shoppers looking
for great deals!
It is an enclosed outlet mall, with over
135 outlet shops of well-known
clothing and houseware brands.
Lakeshore Rd is lined up with many shops
including barber shops like
The Infamous Scars and Strops,
Namiks Barber Shop and K-Kutz Hair Studio
and hair and nail salons such as
Maggie's Hair and Nails, Fantastic nails
and Nails For You.
There are also plenty of food marts
and convenience stores.
You can get a huge selection of fresh fruits
and vegetables at
A.J. Lanzarotta Wholesale Fruit and Vegetables
or CA Fruit Products.
For pet supplies and grooming,
there is PetSmart in corner of Enola
Ave and Lakeshore Rd
There are also many top-rated restaurants
and bakery in Lakeview.
On Ogden Ave., Fair Grounds Organic Café &
Roastery is a spacious bakery and coffee shop
that exclusively offers organic coffees
from Latin America, Indonesia and Africa.
On Lakeshore Rd, restaurants are conveniently
close to each other.
You should totally try going to The Lunch Box,
a Hungarian restaurant that serves home-style
Hungarian food at affordable prices.
Their mouth-watering Goulash dish
is a must-try!
While in Sushi Maki House,
the popular dishes here are Bento Boxes
and sushi rolls.
This restaurant also has many vegetarian options.
Another bakery you might like is Antojitos.
They sell Colombian snacks like
guava jelly and chocoramo.
Their menu also includes crispy, cheese-filled
bunuelos, cinnamon-sprinkled donut filled with
Guava custard called as Guava pasteles
and traditional Colombian meals.
The typical homes in Lakeview are renovated
or refurbished detached and
semi-detached homes.
There are also a few custom-built homes
near the lake.
Other housing types
include bungalows and cottage homes.
With the city’s plan for the revitalization of
its waterfront, it can be expected that the property
values will continue to increase.
There is also a new development of
urban townhomes on the intersection of
Atwater Ave & Cawthra Rd, called as the
Dellwood Park by Sierra Building Group.
Its location is only few minutes away from shops,
restaurants and the waterfront.
Lakeview is another an ideal neighbourhood with
shops, restaurants and recreational spaces
so easily accessible and well-maintained.
Many who relocate to this neighbourhood are
young professionals and those with growing
families who hope to make this place
their permanent home.
With Lakeview being part of the city’s masterplan
to revitalize its waterfronts,
there will be more condos and
retail coming to this area.
