Housing in Malton, Mississauga

Malton has the most varied housing stock and the lowest prices in this cohort: a third of its dwellings are in low-rise apartment buildings, a quarter are detached, and the rest are spread across semis, duplexes, rows and towers. Six in ten of everything standing was built between 1961 and 1980. It also has the highest transit share here by some distance, at one commuter in five. The variety is the point and the difficulty: comparable sales need reading carefully rather than averaging.

When it was built

The most useful line on this page. Almost everything a home inspection turns up in Mississauga is a function of the decade the house went up in, and so is most of what an insurer asks about.

What to check before you buy in Malton

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.
  • 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.

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.
