Malton is found just North of Toronto Pearson International Airport. It's just off the 427 and surrounded by life. It is one of the oldest areas, heavy with industrial/commercial shops highlighted by Pearson Airport in the middle. The first settlement was actually in 1819, surrounding Derry and Airport Road.
In 1914 Malton became a police village and first opened the airport in 1939, now currently Pearson international. It became a common area for wartime industries and homes were in the 1940s for veterans and workers, thus creating the residential area of Malton.
Real Estate in Malton
It is the least expensive area in Mississauga and one of the least diverse. A high concentration of people is East Indian Canadians making up roughly 50% of the demographic. Getting into the Mississauga housing market is challenging. Buying a home in Malton is considered a win as that area has seen just as many price increases as the rest of Mississauga.
Homes here are built in the 40s so there is a heavy dose of older detached homes of Bungalows, back splits and 2 stories, and a sprinkle of semi-detached homes. Many of these homes lack renovations, which have often been a location for flippers to invest, or investors to renovate basements for duplexes. In saying that the lack of affordability in Mississauga has transcended Malton into a residential area that is fine to live in again.
Malton is known to have plenty of detached homes with 2 and 3 bedrooms. There is also good inventory of condos for sale that have brought attention from smaller families and investors that are interested in renting condos.
