Apartments make up 73% of the homes in South Common, where Ontario’s towns have 13%
By the 2021 census, half of owned homes were worth more than $500,000; the average was $521,792. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what South Common’s homes actually sold for. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $563,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Mississauga as a whole, not for South Common alone.
