Erin Mills

Erin Mills is a neighborhood in Mississauga that has been neglected for quite some time but is set to make an impact with several development plans coming up. Although it has not been high on most people’s list of best neighborhoods, it may soon become the next big spot for home buyers and investors. You will find a diverse mix of homes here which include townhomes, detached homes and condos. Erin Mills finds strength in its diversity and attracts people from all over the city for its cuisines and festivals. The roots of this neighborhood traces back to the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific Railways. It was used as a transport hub for freight runners, which was the attraction behind the residential development initially. This area’s designation as a neighborhood was made out of convenience when it was named after its central intersection by city planners. Erin Mills has been undergoing deindustrialization since the 1970s which has already been seen with transformation in most parts of the city. The region mainly features tight-packed houses that were built during the turn of century which is now slowly starting to transform. Over the past 12 months, condos have accounted for more 33% of the home sales in Erin Mills. Semi-detached houses are next line and account for 28% while detached homes account for only 15% of the total home sales. The average price of a home in the neighborhood over the past year was $738,706, which comprises an average condo price of $509,082 along with an average freehold home price of $932,390.

One of the most iconic venues in the neighborhood include the Erin Mills Community Centre and the Galleria. The Galleria is one of the largest malls in the area while the Community Centre provides the residents with a comprehensive fitness facility that comprises Nautilus equipment, a 25-meter warm water pool, a yoga studio, lounges and a large gymnasium. BIG on Bloor Festival is one of the biggest highlights of this area and is usually held during summer over a span of two days. During this period, traffic ceased throughout Bloor Street West, Lansdowne and Dufferin Streets. The festival mainly focuses on celebrating local arts, culture and community. One of the main motives of this festival is also to abolish elements that were found to be delirious to the working-class community of the neighborhood. This festival has been successful throughout the years as the community welcomes various artists from all fields and levels of experience to their streets to celebrate the community and diversity. When we look at the culinary scene in the neighborhood, one of the most unique places here is ‘The Greater Good’, a bar that features one of a kind craft beer, pizza and arcade games. Locals come here often to grab a beer and some pizza after a tiring day. One of the other attractions here is Burdock, which features live musical performances in a Canadian fare. This part of town at one point used to be unnamed and only known as a working-class neighborhood. Today it has started to evolve into a thriving neighborhood and is slowly becoming one of the hottest destinations in Mississauga.
