Living in Sheridan Homelands

Affordable living in a close knit Mississauga village? Welcome to Sheridan Homelands.

The Sheridan Homelands community is bounded by Dundas Street to the north, Erin Mills Parkway to the east, the QEW to the south, and on the west side by Winston Churchill Boulevard. This quiet community has just over 2000 homes, and a perfect mix of families that truly gives this community a great sense of belonging. What makes it even better is that, when it comes to real estate, it is one of the most affordable communities in Southern Mississauga.

Top Things I Love About Sheridan Homelands

No.1

The People

You know the good old days where you would ask your neighbour for some sugar? You can still do that here. The people in Sheridan Homelands are so friendly and cooperative, they have created a thriving residents’ association called SHORA, the Sheridan Homelands Ratepayers Association. This group of residents is committed to advocating for homeowner interests with the City as well as encouraging participation in recreational and social activities and events, supporting the arts, and promoting opportunities for creative expression.

No.2

The Location

You can find anything you need within 1 km. From grocery stores to movie theatres, daycares and gyms…this area has got you covered. There are shopping centres on all sides: popular big box chains to the west, strip malls to the north, and of course, the Sheridan Centre mall on Erin Mills Parkway, which also has a library and a rec centre onsite.

No.3

The Parks

Thornlodge Park is a great place where families get together on a daily basis. The park has tennis courts, a baseball field, walking paths and the renovated David Ramsey Pool. And let’s not forget nearby Erindale Park, which is actually the largest park in the whole of Mississauga. It’s a great place to go in summer for birdwatching, fishing and canoeing, as well as social activities like picnics, birthday parties, and barbecues; there’s a decent toboggan hill in winter, as well as spectacular views of the Credit River and tall ravines.

No.4

The History

Sheridan Homelands has an interesting history. There used to be a small village here, named after English playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan when the old name of Hammondsville was scrapped in the 1850s. Today, only the original cairn and silo remain; easy to miss, but very cool landmarks nevertheless of the community’s rich history. Sheridan Homelands is a multicultural area now, but at one time it was strongly Methodist, and its citizens refused to permit a tavern to be built anywhere in the neighbourhood!

No.5

The Value

I’ve been living in Sheridan Homelands for over 9 years and I am still surprised at this hidden gem of a community. The location is absolutely ideal and the houses offer so much square footage and yet the prices still remain very affordable. What I particularly love is that the community has been established for over 50 years so the streets are lined with large mature trees and the lots are deep giving you the feeling of being in a very secluded setting

Miga Korean BBQ:

If you’ve never had a BBQ-succulent-meat-right-at-your-table experience, Miga is a very good place to start. They specialize in traditional, authentic Korean cuisine with an emphasis on using premium ingredients like mouth-watering meats and homemade kimchi.

Sukothai:

This is a great Thai restaurant that still has the best pad thai I’ve ever had. They also have a wicked cashew nut chicken, golden curry, and their sticky mango rice desert is highly addictive.

Walkers Fish Market:

If you like seafood, then you’ll want to go to Walkers. They have a full menu of fish items that you won't see in most restaurants, and it's a great place to have a nice dinner. Don’t forget to check out Oyster Tuesdays and Crab Bucket Thursdays!

Bombay Bhel:

This nice little Indian restaurant has some good authentic Indian Food. I highly recommend the Channa, Aloo Ghobi, and Tandoori Chicken. I have yet to be let down on any order I have made, which is high praise in a city that has some pretty amazing Indian food.

Summit Garden:

Hands down some of the best dim sum in Mississauga and good luck trying to get a seat on weekends. They also serve up great traditional Chinese food (not chicken balls) and are definitely worth a try. Summit Garden’s huge banquet facilities can accommodate massive parties, too.

Besides these, we do have almost every chain restaurant in Sheridan Homelands, and a bunch of pubs as well. Jack Astor's, Canyon Creek, Boston Pizza and places like Mulligans, St. Louis Bar and Grill and Brown's Social House are always busy places.

Driving:

In moderate traffic you will get into Toronto in approximately 40-60 minutes by using the QEW/Gardiner.

GO Train:

The Clarkson GO is a great choice for commuting to Toronto as you can get into Union Station in approximately 30 minutes. Clarkson GO also has several express trains during rush hour that go directly from Clarkson GO to Union Station. Check out the GO schedule below:

Public Elementary Schools in and around Sheridan Homelands

Thorn Lodge Public School (K-5):

Thorn Lodge Public School is located at 2730 Thorne Lodge Drive in Sheridan Homelands. The school has 282 students and has one of the biggest playgrounds, which is perfect for your kids to get all tuckered out before heading home. I have had the pleasure of speaking with Principal Gursh Budwal, who came out of his office and gave me and my wife 20 minutes of his time to talk about the school, education in general, and how he continually works towards creating the best learning environment for the children.

Sheridan Park Public School (K-5):

Sheridan Park Public School is located at 2280 Perran Drive in Sheridan Homelands. The school has 452 students and while they do have an English track in the school, Sheridan Park is primarily geared towards French Immersion, with 344 students enrolled in the program. I had the pleasure of attending an event to learn more about the French Immersion program and could not have been more impressed with Principal Lynn Dirks. She took the time to shake every parent’s hand and ask about their children, and you can see the care she has pouring out of her when she speaks about the school and the children.

Homelands Sr. Public School (Grades 6-8):

Homelands Middle School is located at 2420 Homelands Drive in Sheridan Homelands. The school has grown, with 500 students in total, about three-quarters of whom are in an English track (the school does offer French Immersion). Homelands Middle School is where students from both Sheridan Park Public School and Thorn Lodge Public School complete grades 6-8. While I have not been there in person yet, I have spoken with Principal Dana Wilson on the phone and she was very engaging and pleasant to speak with.

Catholic Elementary Schools in and around Sheridan Homelands

St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School (K-8):

St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School is located at 2480 Thornlodge Drive in Sheridan Homelands. The school has 533 students (because they go right to grade 8) and parents in the community rave about it. I met the previous principal Mr. Palmatier and he was a very personable and great person who you could tell loved the kids. I have not yet met Principal Donaghue but I am sure she is picking up right where Mr. Palmatier left off.

High Schools in and around Sheridan Homelands

While not located immediately inside the Sheridan Homelands boundaries, the high schools available to children from this community are the nearby Erindale Secondary School and Iona Catholic Secondary School. I have spoken with parents in the community and they have said great things about both schools. Parents with children in the arts or in other specialized programs often take advantage of flex boundaries to get into other schools which are geared specifically towards their children’s learning interests.
