Re: Mississauga or Toronto

We live in Mississauga for few months now. I don't consider it a big mistake to settle here, but it was not the best decision either.

The main recreational activity in Mississauga, apart from sport at community centres (that are great), would be shopping at Square One. There are several good parks, but if you want anything more or less related to culture you have to go to Toronto. Takes two hours by bus without a car (or 20-30 minutes by GO train). But in Toronto you'll find real museums, zoo, science centre etc. If I had a job in Mississauga and didn't want to live in suburbs like Milton, I'd rather live in Western Toronto.

If we are not talking about condos in downtown TO, the price will be the same.
