A few condos does not make a downtown. I grew up in Mississauga.

It is the best example of cookie-cutter suburbia. Single family homes and parking lots for miles. Main roads with no sidewalks.

It sucks. The downtown is centered around a massive shopping mall.

As Chad said, Port Credit is a nice area and so is Streetsville. But that's about it.
