Vaughan and Woodbridge typically come with higher real estate prices and longer commute times compared to South Mississauga/South Toronto.

Mississauga

Mississauga benefits from a well-developed transportation network that enhances connectivity both locally and regionally. The city is served by major highways such as the 401, 403, and 407, facilitating convenient travel within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and beyond. Public transit is robust, with MiWay buses providing extensive coverage throughout the city and connecting to TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) subway lines at Islington Station and Kipling Station. The upcoming Hurontario LRT (Light Rail Transit) project promises to further improve transit options, linking Port Credit in the south to Brampton in the north, enhancing connectivity along one of Mississauga's busiest corridors.

Commuters also benefit from proximity to Pearson International Airport, a major hub for domestic and international travel.

Woodbridge/Vaughan

Vaughan's connectivity revolves around its strategic location and accessibility to key transportation arteries. Highways 400 and 407 serve as major conduits, facilitating efficient travel across the GTA and beyond. For public transit, Vaughan is served by York Region Transit (YRT/Viva) buses, which connect to the TTC subway system at Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) Station, providing direct access to downtown Toronto. Vaughan is also set to benefit from the extension of the Yonge-University subway line to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, improving transit accessibility for residents. Vaughan's proximity to Pearson International Airport further enhances its connectivity, offering convenient air travel options.
