Cranberry Cove
Nestled along the lakefront just west of the Village of Port Credit is the hamlet of Cranberry Cove. Made up of only a handful of streets that feel more like country lanes, Cranberry Cove is a quaint, lakefront getaway from the hustle and bustle of modern day Mississauga.
South of Lakeshore Rd W, between the Brueckner Rhododendron Gardens and the old Imperial Oil Lands, Cranberry Cove is a throwback to days gone by when the area was considered “country living”. While real estate is expensive in the community, homes are more modest in size when compared to other nearby luxury communities such as Lorne Park and Mineola.
Country Charm
At over 100 years old, Cranberry Cove feels like a little English countryside Village. Homes in the community are a mix of historic homes, small cottages and custom homes. The streets are tree covered, so the pictures below were taken in the fall so that you would actually be able to get a glimpse of the homes. In the summer, the lush greenery of mature foliage is part of the charm of the area.
There are also larger custom homes in Cranberry Cove however, most of them still conform to the overall look of the community. If you’re looking for a mega mansion, this isn’t the area for you.

Community Vibe
Don’t let Cranberry Cove’s quiet, country feel fool you, this is an active community with its own ratepayers association that works closely with all levels of government on behalf of the home owners. Port Credit is an exciting community with a lot of change happening so it’s important to be active.
Nearby Amenities
Aside from the shops, restaurants and community vibe of Port Credit, residents have easy access to the waterfront trail and the Rhododendron Gardens , making it a great community for active people who like to be outdoors. A quick commute to downtown Toronto either by GO Train or the QEW makes it an excellent location.
