20 Mississauga Valley Blvd
The Parkway Terrace Condominium is a twin-tower highrise condo located at 20 and 50 Mississauga Valley Blvd in Mississauga, Ontario.
Contents
The complex was built and completed in 1976.
20 Mississauga Valley Blvd. is the south tower of the two tower complex. It is an 18 storey building with a mix of two and three bedroom apartments. Both towers are administered by a single condominium corporation, and they share amenities including the parking garage.
Municipal address for the south tower is 20 Mississauga Valley Blvd., Mississauga, Ontario L5A 3S1.
The closest major intersection is Hurontario St. and Central Parkway E.
Although it is located in the Mississauga Valley district, which is an area slightly to the southeast of Mississauga City Centre (MCC), the Parkway Terrace Condominium is surrounded by plenty of retail and commercial options. It is situated just up the street from Iona Plaza, which is a neighbourhood mall that includes a Metro grocery store, a Shoppers Drug Mart, a TD Bank, and several additional stores and restaurants.
Pros and Cons
There are a few features to note here. First, 20 Mississauga Valley Blvd. 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 900 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.
Third, the Parkway Terrace Condominium has an onsite licensed daycare! The highly-rated Kid’s Palace Nursery School offers a holistic approach to early childhood education, welcoming young children from toddler age to pre-school, kindergarten, and before-and-after school age.
On the other hand, the Parkway Terrace Condominium is a legacy building that is heated by electricity. At least the system is forced air, i.e. not baseboard heating, so there is central air conditioning.
Maintenance fees here are a little lower than the average for Mississauga Valley, and they actually include cable TV and internet, but they do not include hydro (electricity). Therefore, the cost to heat or cool your condo unit is billed separately as an added expense.
Also to note, there is no concierge service at 20 Mississauga Valley Blvd.
Finally, you need to keep in mind that, if you are looking for a smaller 1 bedroom unit, you won’t find it here. There are only larger 2 and 3 bedroom apartments.
Before we take a deep dive into the building itself, let’s take a look at the area.
Mississauga Attractions
Shopping
The Parkway Terrace condo is in the heart of Mississauga Valley, 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.

Transit
The Parkway Terrace condo is well connected with heavy rail commuter options. It’s about a 17 minute walk to the Cooksville GO Station, or a 4 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 and Mississauga Valley, continuing up to Square One Shopping Centre, and then proceeding to the Brampton Gateway Terminal. There will be several stops near the Parkway Terrace Condo, including one at Hurontario St. and Fairview Rd., one at Hurontario St. and Burnhamthorpe Rd., 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 20 Mississauga Valley Blvd. 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.

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.
