Sheridan

Around the Neighbourhood

Cultural landmarks: the Sheridan Centre on Erin Mills Parkway is the community hub, with its grocery store, library, recreation centre and around 70 shops, and the smaller Sherwood Forrest Village adds another local retail pocket.

Hot local spots: most of Sheridan’s dining and shopping happens at the Sheridan Centre and Sherwood Forrest Village, with Clarkson’s Lakeshore strip next door bringing the destination eats, including Casalinga’s for pizza, Michael’s Back Door for a nicer night out, and the Clarkson Pump for wings and a pint.

Parks & green space: Thornlodge Park is the recreation centre of the neighbourhood, home to the Sheridan Tennis Club, walking trails, a splash pad, a playground and an outdoor rink, joined by Sheridan Park, Springbank Meadows Park and Bruce Reynolds Park.

Your Typical Neighbour

Sheridan is established, family-oriented suburbia, a mix of longtime owners who raised their kids here and younger families moving in for the space and schools. Home ownership is high, the housing is overwhelmingly low-rise, and incomes run above the Mississauga average, climbing higher in the Sherwood Forrest estate streets. It is diverse, settled and quiet, the kind of place people move to and stay in for decades.

What We Love

Space and green, with a fast train to the city. Sheridan delivers the wide lots, double garages and mature trees that the old parts of Toronto can’t, and it pairs them with genuinely good parks: tennis, trails, splash pads and an outdoor rink at Thornlodge alone. The housing range is wide, so there is room for first-time buyers and trade-up families on the same streets, and the Sherwood Forrest estates give the area a prestige edge. Clarkson GO keeps the downtown commute reasonable.

What We Don’t Love

It is car-dependent suburbia, so if you want to walk out the door to a coffee shop or a restaurant, this isn’t it. The commute relies on driving or bussing to the GO, and the QEW on the southern edge brings the usual highway noise and traffic. The housing stock is mostly 1960s-to-1990s, so many homes will want updating, and the most charming pockets, like Sherwood Forrest, come at a real premium.

Real Estate

Sheridan is a low-rise, owner-occupied neighbourhood with one of the widest housing ranges in south-west Mississauga: starter townhomes, ranch bungalows, side-splits, two-storeys and large detacheds, plus a growing number of custom infill builds. Most are brick homes from the 1960s through 1990s on wide lots with double garages. Sherwood Forrest, along Mississauga Road, is the estate enclave and the top of the market. Value here is about space and schools rather than walkability, and demand from families keeps well-kept homes moving. New to the market? Start with our First-Time Buyer guide.

Transit

The commute runs through Clarkson GO, with a short bus or drive to the station and a roughly 35-to-40-minute train ride to Union. Local Mississauga MiWay buses run the main roads, and drivers reach the QEW, the 403 and Erin Mills Parkway easily. This is a neighbourhood where most households keep at least one car.
