Once upon a time, Cooksville was a major stagecoach stop along the Dundas highway between the old town of York and Niagara. The settlement suffered a terrible fire in 1852, but it survived to tell the tale. Today, the area has transformed into a thriving residential neighbourhood where you’ll find many affordable Mississauga condos for sale and for rent.

The main hustle-and-bustle of the neighbourhood is at Dundas Street West and Hurontario Street, where residents will have a full range of commercial outlets and professional services. There are several public schools in the area, along with a smattering of parks where kids can stretch their legs and enjoy some fresh air. It’s a worthwhile neighbourhood to explore for young families seeking a home as well as for investors in the Toronto condo market.

Cooksville enjoys a prominent role as the public transportation hub of Mississauga, with a local GO Train station for commuters, local bus routes, and an express bus to downtown Toronto.
