Osprey, Lisgar

Are you an outdoorsy person who likes to get your exercise while exploring nature? Do you like newer homes but find it hard to locate a newer subdivision that has more than just a standard park? If so you should check out Osprey in the south west corner of Lisgar in Mississauga.

Homes in the Osprey Marsh area consist of detached homes, semi detached and a small complex of executive town homes. The community was designed with nature in mind, and was built around a system of storm water management ponds called Osprey Marsh.

While not an official neighbourhood, the area shown above on the map is an area with very close access to Osprey marsh, something that most other neighbourhoods in Mississauga could only imagine having in their backyard.

Buyer Who Might not Love Osprey:

Just like ANY neighbourhood, Osprey is not for everyone, and I think it’s very important to know the downsides so that you can make a fully informed decision.

1) North West Location

Aside from Osprey Marsh, the neighbourhood is as suburban as it gets. There’s nothing really to walk to so even the most routine errands require driving in a car which makes the area very busy. It is also located in the north west corner of Mississauga, so if you need to be further south or in Toronto on a regular basis you will want to make sure of the commute time before hand.

2) Airplane Noise

Air Plane Noise: Like all of the neighbourhoods in north Mississauga, Osprey lies on one of Pearson Airport’s flight paths. If you are interested in this area you should expect to see planes flying over your home approximately every second day. The good news is that planes are high enough that you shouldn’t hear them inside your house, but when you’re outside, you will hear them.
