3170 Kirwin Ave Mississauga
This Kingsford Condominium is a highrise condo located at 3170 Kirwin Ave in the Cooksville area of Mississauga, Ontario.
Contents
The building was built and completed in 1976.
3170 Kirwin Ave consists of a single 16 storey tower with a mix of two, and three bedroom apartments.
Municipal address for this condominium is 3170 Kirwin Ave, Mississauga, Ontario L5A 3R1.
The closest major intersection is Hurontario St. and Dundas St. W.
Although it is located in the Cooksville district, which is an area slightly to the south of Mississauga City Centre (MCC), the Kingsford is surrounded by plenty of retail and commercial options, and is just a couple of minutes away from all that MCC has to offer.
Pros and Cons
There are a few features to note here. First, 3170 Kirwin Avenue benefits from the era when it was built. Condo apartments here are quite large when compared to today’s more recent projects.
For example, most 2 and 3 bedroom units are between 1000 and 1200 square feet, which is quite a premium over today’s typical units. That’s a win.
Secondly, the proximity to the Cooksville GO Station is a huge plus for many commuters.
On the other hand, the maintenance fees in this building are considerably higher than the average for Cooksville. While they do include both hydro and cable TV/high speed internet, the fees are relatively high when you compare them to other condos in the area.
The second negative is that there is no concierge service at 3170 Kirwin Ave.
And finally, if you are looking for a smaller 1 bedroom unit, you won’t find it here. There are only 2 and 3 bedroom apartments at 3170 Kirwin Avenue.
Before we take a deep dive into the building itself, let’s take a look at the area.
Mississauga Attractions
Shopping
The Kingsford condo is in the heart of Cooksville, which provides an abundance of independent shops and services. You will find plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, pharmacies, offices, and stores.
In addition, Square One Shopping Centre, Ontario’s largest mall, is just a 5 minute drive away. The southeast entrance to the mall (Walmart) is the closest.
Square One has more than 360 stores, restaurants, bars, and services.
Entertainment
There is a great variety of entertainment venues once you cross over to the City Centre area. Here’s just a few places that anyone can enjoy.
- Mississauga Celebration Square with its vibrant slate of community events, fountains, and skating rink in winter
- Mississauga Living Arts Centre
- Art Gallery of Mississauga (AGM)
- Mississauga Civic Centre (City Hall)
- Hazel McCallion Central Library
- the central YMCA
The closest cinemas are the Cineplex Cinemas at Rathburn Road and Living Arts Drive.
Transit
The Kingsford condo is well connected with heavy rail commuter options. It’s about a 7 minute walk to the Cooksville GO Station, or a 2 minute drive. 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 free 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 Dundas & Hurontario St., 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.
Residents at 3170 Kirwin Ave 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.

In addition, there are also public and catholic high schools nearby: TL Kennedy Secondary School and Father Michael Goetz Secondary School.
Post-secondary Education

University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM)
The University of Toronto Mississauga campus (UTM) has over 15,000 graduate and undergraduate students. It’s located in a wooded setting near Mississauga Road and The Collegeway, and is about a 10 minute drive from 3170 Kirwin Ave.
Hospital
The nearest hospital is the Trillium Health Partners Mississauga Hospital. It is located at 100 Queensway W., near Hurontario and the QEW, which is about a 4 minute drive away.
The Mississauga Hospital (formerly known as Trillium Hospital) houses the largest concentration of critical care services in Canada, with modern facilities that are currently undergoing a major expansion.

There are several supermarkets in the area.
You will find both a Food Basics and also a FreshCo nearby at the corner of King St. and Hurontario St. These are about a three minute drive from the condo. There is also an interesting new middle eastern themed grocery named Alnejmah Fine Foods, located at the corner of Hillcrest Ave. and Hurontario St.
There are numerous other supermarkets in the area, including a Metro on Central Parkway East, a Loblaws Superstore at Mavis Rd. and Dundas St., and a Whole Foods Market located on the north side of the Square One mall.
Finally, there is a full grocery located in Walmart at Square One.
Parks and Recreation
Mississauga Valley Park is located just north of the Cooksville area. It is a beautiful park with winding footpaths along the forested Cooksville Creek, as well as open areas for soccer and baseball, bocce ball courts, BBQ areas, a children’s playground with a splash pad, as well as access to the Mississauga Valley Community Centre.
Cooksville Brickyard Park is a sports-focused park that has baseball and softball diamonds, and a soccer field. All the facilities here are fenced and feature night lighting. It’s very popular with amateur sports leagues.
In addition, there are several neighbourhood parks nearby, including Cooksville Park, which is an 8 minute walk from the condo, John C. Price Park, which is a 2 minute walk away, and Richard Jones Park which is a 5 minute walk away. You can find children’s playground areas and hiking trails here.
One thing to keep in mind: there are over 70 highrise condos in the city centre, as well as about 14 in the Cooksville area. Consequently, all Mississauga parks are extremely popular, and they are usually very busy during the warmer months.
