Fairview Real Estate Guide
About Fairview
Some buyers want city-centre convenience but still want a driveway, and that search leads straight here. Fairview real estate covers a compact central Mississauga neighbourhood just south of Square One Shopping Centre, mixing 1970s detached and semi-detached homes with modern condos closer to City Centre. It is one of the few places in the city where you can walk to Canada’s largest mall from a house with a backyard.
Quick answer
- Location: central Mississauga, immediately south of Square One.
- Homes: 1970s detached and semi-detached houses on generous lots, plus modern condo buildings.
- Who it suits: families wanting central living with a yard, and professionals wanting condo convenience.
- Commute: Cooksville GO Station nearby, Highway 403 and the QEW minutes away, MiWay throughout.
- Schools: Fairview Public School and Father Michael Goetz Secondary School serve the neighbourhood.
Life In Fairview
Fairview lives at two speeds. The residential streets are quiet, tree-lined, and family-scaled, while everything a city offers sits a few minutes north at Square One and Celebration Square, from shopping and dining to concerts and festivals. Parks, playgrounds, and basketball courts fill in the everyday recreation, and errands rarely take long because so much sits within a short radius. For how the neighbourhood fits the bigger picture, see the full Mississauga real estate guide.
Commuting options stack up well. Cooksville GO Station on the Milton line is a short trip south for train service toward Union Station, Highway 403 and the QEW are minutes away by car, and MiWay routes connect through the Square One transit hub to the rest of the city. Buyers who split work between Mississauga and Toronto get real flexibility here without paying waterfront prices for it.

Fairview Real Estate
The core of the market is 1970s detached and semi-detached houses on lots that are larger than the location would suggest. Many have been renovated or expanded over the decades, so condition drives significant price differences between neighbouring homes. Closer to City Centre, modern condo buildings add a second market entirely, serving first-time buyers, downsizers, and professionals who want walk-to-everything living.
City Centre is the vertical comparison: condo towers, walkable urban blocks, and no yards. Fairview is the low-rise counterpart one step south, where houses and lots survive next to the same amenities. The City Centre real estate guide covers the condo side of that decision, and households comparing centrally also read the Cooksville real estate guide and Mississauga Valley real estate next door. Planning a move into central Mississauga? Book a buyer’s consultation to compare them properly before touring.
Selling here? Sellers benefit from two active buyer pools: families targeting the school catchments and central-location buyers priced out of newer stock. Presentation matters because renovated and original homes sit side by side, and the gap between their results is real. Book a home evaluation or start with the guide to selling in the GTA.
