Hi, I am going to buy a Villa in Ontario. I have a small confusion in this. I have to options here Toronto or Mississauga. Which will be the better place to live Toronto or Mississauga. I don't have deep knowledge about these places. My office is located in Toronto. But that doesn't matter. Most of the days I am working from home. So please suggest me the best choice, also tell me about some real estate agencies like Royal LePage Real Estate Services in Mississauga , then it will be more easy to find a place as on my choice.

What is better: beef or fish ? Cheese or salami ? Pizza or spaghetti ? Vegan or sausage ? Eggs scrambled or sunny side up ?

Toronto and Mississauga are huge places with ugly and pretty neighborhoods. Mississauga is generally far cheaper for a comparable house or condo, closer to the airport and closer to destinations west and north, but further from entertainment centers, beaches, nightlife and major trendy shopping centers, i.e. it is not as cosmopolitan, urban or chic.

Why not make a list of the ideal location then start shopping: parks, road noise, your own yard, schools, access to trains, distance to highways, views, shopping, restaurants, nightlife etc are all considerations that differ from person to person - given a certain budget and life style preferences.

For $700,000 say, some folks prefer a house with a large yard in Mississauga and others a 1BR condo with a view an elevator ride away from nightlife, shopping and eateries in downtown Toronto. List what is relevant to you, say on a scale of 1-10 per item, and then rank a particular property on that scale.

Hi,
Toronto is generally better and Mississauga cheaper.
A Mercedes Benz is better and Toyota is cheaper.
As suggested, do define Your better. Depending on the weight one gives price, Toyota and Mississauga can obviously be the better option. Ignoring the price factor, they are generally not.
Thanks

Mississauga is a very clean, safe, and fairly friendly city. The city is cheaper than Toronto for rentals and real estate buying.
If you're looking for a diverse, rather quiet city to raise a family, Mississauga is a good place. But if you like nightlife, Toronto is better bet.
