Renting in
Meadowvale.
Mississauga's tech corridor meets suburban calm — corporate headquarters, affordable rents, and the heritage village that started it all. If you're looking to rent in Meadowvale, Mississauga, this is where tech workers shorten their commute, families find real value, and a 19th-century village core reminds you that not everything in the 905 was built yesterday.
Meadowvale is where Mississauga's corporate engine hums quietly behind tree-lined residential streets. The tech corridor along Meadowvale Boulevard — home to Microsoft Canada, HP Canada, Huawei, and dozens of mid-size firms — makes this one of the rare GTA suburbs where you can live and work in the same neighbourhood. That alone sets it apart.
Away from the office parks, the neighbourhood is classic established suburbia — a mix of townhouse complexes, low-rise apartment buildings, and detached homes fanning out from the Meadowvale Town Centre. The historic Meadowvale Village heritage district at Old Derry Road and Second Line West adds genuine character, with preserved 19th-century buildings, a community hall, and seasonal events that feel more small-town Ontario than suburban Mississauga.
The parks here are a genuine draw: Lake Aquitaine, Meadowvale Conservation Area, and the Osprey Marsh trail network offer kilometres of walking paths, fishing, and green space that families and runners rely on daily. Rents sit below the Mississauga average, making this a strong value play — especially for anyone working in the local corporate parks.

What Your Dollar Gets You
Meadowvale is one of Mississauga's best rental value propositions. A $1,950 budget that barely gets you a studio near Square One gets you a proper one-bedroom here with parking included. Two-bedroom townhouses with a backyard and laundry run in the $2,400 range — try finding that anywhere closer to the city centre.
The rental stock is a healthy mix of older purpose-built apartment buildings, townhouse complexes, and basement suites in detached homes. The older buildings keep prices down while offering decent square footage. Newer condo-style rentals are rarer here than in the Square One corridor.
Most rentals include one parking spot, which matters — Meadowvale's layout is built for driving. Some townhouse rentals even come with a garage.
Transit & Roads
Meadowvale GO Station on the Milton line is the neighbourhood's transit anchor — roughly 45 minutes to Union Station. Streetsville GO on the Kitchener line is also within reach, giving you a second option and more schedule flexibility for downtown commutes.
MiWay bus routes connect Meadowvale to Square One (about 10 minutes by car, 25 by bus), Pearson Airport (15 minutes by car), and surrounding Mississauga neighbourhoods. The 401/403 interchange is just 5 minutes away, making highway access excellent for drivers heading east to Toronto or west to Hamilton.
Be realistic about walkability: Meadowvale scores around 50 on Walk Score. You can walk to some plazas and parks, but for groceries and most errands, a car or reliable transit plan is strongly recommended. The 12% work-from-home rate reflects the neighbourhood's tech corridor — many residents work right here in the corporate parks.
What This Means for Renters
Meadowvale's income profile reflects its working-to-middle-class character — median household income sits around $82,000, close to the national median. The largest cohort earns between $100K and $150K, driven largely by the tech corridor employment base. This is a neighbourhood of dual-income families and mid-career professionals, not a luxury enclave.
For renters, that profile means landlords are pragmatic and applications move quickly. The 40% renter rate means there's genuine rental inventory here — unlike owner-heavy suburbs where finding a unit is a needle-in-a-haystack exercise. Come with a complete application package and you'll find landlords who are responsive and reasonable.

Meadowvale is one of Mississauga's strongest rental neighbourhoods for value. The tech corridor along Meadowvale Boulevard brings major employers like Microsoft, HP, and Huawei right to your doorstep, and rents run below the Mississauga average. The Meadowvale GO station connects you to Union Station in about 45 minutes. The trade-off is that walkability is limited — you'll want a car or reliable transit plan for daily errands. If you work in the local corporate parks, it's hard to beat.
The Meadowvale tech corridor refers to the cluster of major corporate campuses along Meadowvale Boulevard and the surrounding business parks. Major tenants include Microsoft Canada, HP Canada, Huawei, and dozens of mid-size tech and professional services firms. This concentration of employers makes Meadowvale one of the few GTA suburbs where you can live and work in the same neighbourhood — cutting your commute to a short drive or even a bike ride. It's a major reason renters choose Meadowvale over seemingly comparable suburbs.
By GO Train from Meadowvale GO Station on the Milton line, the ride to Union Station takes approximately 45 minutes. Door-to-door commute is realistically 55–70 minutes depending on your last-mile connection. By car via the 401 or 403, downtown Toronto is approximately 40–50 minutes in normal traffic — significantly longer during peak hours. Nearby Streetsville GO on the Kitchener line offers an additional option with different scheduling. Having two GO lines within reach is a genuine advantage.
Yes. Meadowvale consistently ranks among the more affordable rental pockets in Mississauga. Average one-bedroom rents sit around $1,950 compared to the Square One corridor where comparable units run $2,200–$2,500. The neighbourhood's distance from the city centre and its mix of older apartment buildings and townhouses keep prices lower while still offering solid transit access via the GO station. The 2025 GTA rental market softening has reached Meadowvale too, giving tenants additional negotiating power on price and lease terms.
Meadowvale Village is the historic heritage core of the neighbourhood, centred around Old Derry Road and Second Line West. It dates back to the 1830s and features preserved 19th-century buildings, a community hall, and a charming small-village atmosphere that's unique in Mississauga. The village hosts seasonal events, farmers' markets, and community gatherings. It's a Heritage Conservation District, meaning its character is legally protected — no modern development can alter its historic feel. For renters, it adds genuine neighbourhood character that you simply won't find in newer suburban developments.
Meadowvale is excellent for families. The neighbourhood has 12 schools (public, Catholic, and private) within its boundaries, including well-regarded Meadowvale Secondary School and St. Joan of Arc. Lake Aquitaine Park, Meadowvale Conservation Area, and the Osprey Marsh trail network provide abundant green space for kids to explore. The community is diverse and family-oriented, with about 40% of residents being families with children. Churchill Meadows Community Centre offers extensive programming for all ages — swimming, sports, camps, and after-school activities. At Meadowvale's rent levels, families get significantly more space for their budget than closer to the city centre.
