25 Agnes St Mississauga
The Waterford Condominium is a highrise condo located at 25 Agnes St in the downtown Cooksville area of Mississauga, Ontario.
Contents
The building was built and completed in 1990.
25 Agnes St consists of a single 13 storey tower with 97 units that are a mixture of one and two bedroom apartments. There are several retail establishments on the ground floor of the building.
The location of the Waterford tower is a big plus. It is located just a block north of the intersection of Dundas St. and Hurontario St., and is an easy 10 minute walk to the Cooksville GO Station. The Cooksville GO Station is a stop on the Milton rail line that provides commuters with direct service to Union Station in downtown Toronto.
Municipal address for the Waterford Condominium is 25 Agnes Street, Mississauga, Ontario L5B 3X7.
Directly across Agnes Street you will find 3 storey commercial plaza known as Cooksville Colonnade (3024 Hurontario Street). The plaza offers a diverse set of retail and office uses and contains the Cooksville Branch Library.
One of the city’s best coffee shops, Halo Expresso Bar, is in the Colonnade.
Although it is located in the Cooksville district, which is an area slightly to the south of Mississauga City Centre (MCC), this condo is surrounded by plenty of retail and commercial options, and is just a few minutes away from all that MCC has to offer.
Pros and Cons
There are several features to note here. First, the apartments at 25 Agnes St are a bit larger than those of newer builds. For example, most 2 bedroom units are between 900 and 1100 square feet, which is quite a premium over today’s typical units. That’s a win.
Secondly, the previously mentioned proximity to the Cooksville GO Station is a huge plus for many commuters.
There are also a few negatives concerning 25 Agnes St.
First, there are no open balconies in this building. You will see a few realtors advertising “enclosed balconies”, but these are simply indoor solariums.
Secondly, pets are not allowed here. I you are a dog lover, this is not the building for you.
Third, there is no concierge service at the Waterford Condo. All things to consider.
Before we take a deep dive into the building itself, let’s take a look at the area.

Transit
25 Agnes Street is well connected with heavy rail commuter options. It’s about a two minute drive, or a 10 minute walk to the Cooksville GO Station. This is a transportation hub for central Mississauga, linking both the city’s public transit system (“MiWay”), and GO Transit.
The Cooksville GO Station recently underwent a major expansion of its parking facility.
The area is expected to get even greater access to transportation options in the next few years with the construction of the Hurontario light rail transit (LRT) project, which will be called the Hazel McCallion (Hurontario) LRT, to commemorate the former Mississauga mayor.
LRT
The Hazel McCallion LRT is a streetcar line that will have 19 stops starting from Port Credit in the south, up through Cooksville, continuing up to Square One Shopping Centre, and then proceeding to the Brampton Gateway Terminal. There will be four stops in Cooksville, including one at Hurontario St. and Dundas St. W, and one at the Cooksville GO Station.
While the Cooksville GO Station is a major transportation hub in its own right, the LRT will also provide further connectivity to the main transportation hub in the City of Mississauga, which is the central Mississauga MiWay Transit and GO bus terminal. This terminal is located at the north side of the Square One mall.
Here you will find direct MiWay bus service to points across the city, as well as direct express bus service to the Kipling subway station in Etobicoke.
Furthermore, GO Transit bus service extends from here to downtown Toronto, and to many other points including Toronto Pearson International Airport, Hamilton, and even Scarborough.
The overall area is very transit friendly, and you will also find frequent bus service along Dundas St. W. (MiWay Route #1), with direct service to the TTC Kipling Subway Station. Walking to the Dundas St. bus takes 3 minutes.
Residents at the Willow Walk condo who commute by car will have easy access to both Ontario Highway 403, and the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) highway. Both highways are close by, and are easily accessible via Hurontario St.
