Lakeview Real Estate

Located in south Mississsauga, Lakeview has a long history rooted in early trading and farming, and its later involvement in the war. Lakeview was home to Canada’s first commercial air training airport and a number of war time munitions plants during World War II, and its history is reflected in the old town charm of its streets and homes. Lakeview’s close proximity to both Lake Ontario and Downtown Toronto means homes in this neighbourhood are always in high demand to investors and home owners alike.
