Housing in Lakeview, Mississauga
Lakeview is two markets on one shoreline. Half of it is detached houses, a third is in buildings of five storeys or more, and a third of the whole neighbourhood predates 1961, which is old for Mississauga. It also reports the highest share of dwellings needing major repairs among the neighbourhoods here, which in stock this age usually means roofs, windows and the back of the house rather than anything structural. It is the neighbourhood on this list to budget an inspection for.

What to check before you buy in Lakeview
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.

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.
