REAL ESTATE IN ERINDALE
The Erindale district is located just north of the QEW and it's borders are shaped with it's west side running along the Credit river up to the 403 and back along the train tracks to Mavis and down to the QEW.
THE AREA "LOWDOWN' TO MEET YOUR LIFESTYLE
Yet this is another area with some neat history to it, Erindale is a fantastic place to reside and there is a lot of greenspace here thanks to the Credit River running along the district as well as some great Parks scattered here with Erindale Park and the beautiful Mississauga Gardens adding that extra something for those wanting the outdoor and city life at the same time.
You are in great driving distance to downtown Toronto, Mississauga City and all other amenities that Mississauga has to offer and close to both the QEW and the 403. You can also use the Erindale Go station for transportation if you use public transportation instead of commuting. You are close to the Mississauga Golf and Country club as well if you are an avid golfer you don't have far to travel.
Erindale is known to be a rather quiet area with variety of homes from bungalows, split level and you typical two-story detached homes to your custom built head turning homes as well. Your average age of home here is around 30-40 years of age and you can find your bungalows and split levels mainly in the Credit Woodlands just off of Dundas Street west tucked in above the ridge of Erindale Park. Many of these home boast a great pride of ownership much l ike you will see in the Rathwood district.
