Housing in Erin Mills, Mississauga

Erin Mills is a planned community that has aged into a settled one: eighty-six per cent of households own, half the dwellings are detached and another fifth are rows, and two fifths of it went up between 1961 and 1980. Half of everything here has four bedrooms or more. The stock is consistent enough that comparable sales mean something, which is less true in most of the neighbourhoods on this list.

What to check before you buy in Erin Mills

Raised by the housing stock above, not by any particular house. Each one is a question to ask rather than a problem to expect.

Aluminum branch wiringMuch of this neighbourhood went up between 1961 and 1980, and aluminum branch wiring was common in houses built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is not a reason to walk away, but it is a reason to have an electrician look, because insurers ask about it by name.
What was added, and whether it was permittedIn a neighbourhood this detached, a large share of the houses have been added to or finished below grade at some point. The City's building records will say what was permitted. An unpermitted addition is not automatically a problem to walk away from, but it is a problem to know about rather than inherit.
The party wall and the drainsA fifth or more of the housing here shares a wall with the house next door. Shared walls mean shared sound, sometimes shared drains, and occasionally a shared roof line where one side has been redone and the other has not. Look at both sides of the building from the street and from the lane.

What it costs to live here

Owner monthly shelter cost: $1,660
Renter monthly shelter cost: $1,460

Shelter cost is the census measure: for an owner it is the mortgage payment, property taxes, condominium fees and utilities together, and for a renter it is rent and utilities. These are medians from 2021, so read them as the shape of the place rather than as a quote.

Where these numbers come from

the 2021 Census of Population, tabulated by the City of Mississauga as 2021 Census Data - By Neighbourhoods, with neighbourhood names and boundaries from Mississauga Official Plan (2010) Character Area and City Structure. Retrieved September 20, 2026. The figures are published under the Statistics Canada Open Licence and the boundaries under the City of Mississauga Open Data Terms of Use.

These are aggregate figures for a whole neighbourhood from a census taken in 2021, so they lag the market and they describe no individual home. Housey is not a real estate board and this is not MLS data: for what a specific house is worth today, ask a realtor.
