The Meadowvale neighbourhood is in northwest Mississauga, west of Meadowvale Village and Meadowvale Business Park. Meadowvale has plenty of park lands and green space, and two lakes (mostly human-made), Aquitaine and Wabukayne, with a system of parks and trails connecting them. Development of the area began in the 1970s. Housing is mostly single-detached older homes, as well as apartment buildings, semi-detached, and condo townhomes. Generally, it is a more affordable area than other Mississauga neighbourhoods.
