3 bedroom townhouses for sale in Mississauga

Three words on the listing decide your monthly costs. A condominium townhouse puts roof, walls and grounds in the corporation's hands, you pay a fee and the status certificate becomes required reading. A freehold townhouse means both the land and the building belong to you outright, and no corporation is paid, though many freehold rows in Churchill Meadows, Lisgar and Hurontario front onto a private lane and carry a monthly parcel-of-tied-land levy for snow and paving. A common-elements condominium is the formal name for that arrangement. Stacked townhouses in Cooksville and along Lakeshore Road East are condominiums with units above and below one another, so check whether your three bedrooms are on one floor or spread over two, and where the parking is. Ask which type is in front of you before comparing prices, because the same three bedrooms can carry very different carrying costs.

In Meadowvale the townhouse complexes off Glen Erin, Battleford and Aquitaine are close to the lakes, the trails and Meadowvale Town Centre, and the older ones have larger footprints than anything built since. Erin Mills has similar 1980s complexes near the Town Centre and along the Sawmill Creek trail. Mississauga Valleys and Applewood hold 1970s condominium rows within a walk of the Burnhamthorpe bus routes. The freehold rows of Churchill Meadows west of Winston Churchill and the Hurontario streets north of Eglinton are newer and draw families wanting a garage and a basement. Port Credit's rows near the GO station and Streetsville's along the Credit River sell on their walkability. Lakeview and Dixie are where the newest stacked plans are rising.
