Port Credit

Port Credit real estate is a hot commodity. From waterfront views to abundant parks and trails, this gem of a neighbourhood has it all.

Welcome to Port Credit:
Mississauga’s Village on the Lake

Port Credit is more than just a neighbourhood; it is a lifestyle destination. Often recognized as the "Jewel of the Lake," this vibrant lakeside community offers a rare distinctiveness in the GTA: the charm of a historic fishing village blended seamlessly with a cosmopolitan, urban pulse.

Real estate here is a hot commodity because the inventory is as unique as the setting. From luxury waterfront condos offering panoramic views of Lake Ontario to charming heritage cottages and multi-million dollar custom infill homes, Port Credit offers a diverse range of housing options. For those currently exploring buying a home in Mississauga, the "Village" lifestyle is a top contender against the seclusion of nearby Lorne Park.


The Vibe: Waterfront Living & Walkability

Life in Port Credit revolves around the water. The neighbourhood is situated where the Credit River meets Lake Ontario, creating a natural playground for outdoor enthusiasts. The community is incredibly walkable, boasting a Walk Score that rivals downtown Toronto neighbourhoods.

Residents enjoy immediate access to the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail, a paved path perfect for cycling, jogging, or evening strolls. On any given weekend, you will find locals launching kayaks from the Credit Village Marina, watching the regattas at the Port Credit Yacht Club, or enjoying the famous ice skating trail at Port Credit Memorial Park during the winter months.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Port Credit is widely considered the entertainment hub of Mississauga. Lakeshore Road East and West are lined with independent boutiques, artisanal coffee shops, and an eclectic mix of restaurants. Unlike the big-box monotony found elsewhere, the "Village" offers a curated experience.

  • The Culinary Scene: Whether you crave authentic Italian, fresh seafood at Snug Harbour, or upscale vegan cuisine, the options are endless. Even residents of nearby neighbourhoods frequently make the trip here to visit the best restaurants in the area.
  • Nightlife: As the sun sets, the village comes alive. From live jazz and blues at the legendary Roc'n Doc's to sophisticated cocktails at Door FiftyFive, there is a venue for every mood.
  • Farmers Market: The seasonal Port Credit Farmers Market is a Saturday morning staple, offering fresh local produce and handcrafted goods.

Top-Tier Schools & Education

For families considering a move to Port Credit, the educational landscape is excellent. The neighbourhood falls under the Peel District School Board and the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, hosting institutions known for high academic standards and specialized regional programs.

Elementary Schools

  • Riverside Public School: A highly-rated school known for its strong community involvement.
  • Forest Avenue Public School: Nestled in the heart of the residential district.
  • St. Luke Catholic Elementary School: A smaller, community-focused school.

Secondary & Private Options

  • Port Credit Secondary School (PCSS): One of the oldest and most prestigious high schools in Peel. Home to the Regional SciTech and Strings Programs.
  • Mentor College: A prestigious private co-educational school located just a short drive away.

The Commuter’s Dream

Port Credit offers arguably the best connectivity in the entire Greater Toronto Area outside of the downtown core. It is a true mobility hub.

  • GO Transit
    The Port Credit GO Station is a primary stop on the Lakeshore West line. Express trains reach Union Station in approximately 25 minutes.
  • Future Hazel McCallion LRT
    Connecting Port Credit directly to Brampton and northern Mississauga.
  • Highway Access
    The QEW is mere minutes away via Hurontario Street or Mississauga Road.

A Year-Round Festival City

There is a reason Port Credit is known as the "Festival Capital of Mississauga." The community spirit is anchored by major events that take place at the iconic Lighthouse and Memorial Park.

Residents have front-row seats to the Tim Hortons Southside Shuffle Blues & Jazz Festival, the Mississauga Waterfront Festival, and the massive Paint the Town Red Canada Day celebrations. This vibrant culture contributes to the many ways to enjoy the arts in Mississauga, with the village acting as a central hub for creativity and celebration.
