Fairways Condos

Older condos may feel scarce to prospective residents seeking out a home in Mississauga, but it&rsquo;s certainly possible to find a vintage building with a little diligence and perseverance. The Fairways Condos at 1400 Dixie Road has been occupied since 1979, only 5 years after Mississauga was established as a city and Square One Shopping Centre opened to the public. The building, which spans 21 storeys and is divided into 270 units, is safe and secure thanks to a 24-hour gated entrance and a concierge that&rsquo;s on staff weekdays from 9 o&rsquo;clock through 5 o&rsquo;clock.Besides the indoor common spaces &mdash; the library, games room and indoor pool &mdash; 1400 Dixie sits on a property that spans 6 acres, making the building feel more like a resort in the summertime. Between the landscaped gardens, outdoor dining areas, barbecues, tennis court, and shuffleboard courts, it&rsquo;s difficult for residents to grow bored of the offerings at the Fairways. To top it all off the historic McMaster House is situated on the same land as the Fairway Condos, with the 1911-built residence now used to hold functions for residents of 1400 Dixie and their guests

As the name suggests, the main appeal of the Lakeview neighbourhood is its proximity to Lake Ontario. However, while residents can often be found walking or cycling along the Waterfront Trail on sunny Saturdays and Sundays, rainy days might involve a trip to the nearby Sherway Gardens mall.

If there&rsquo;s one reason to opt for an older building (other than price), it&rsquo;s the chance to find a spacious condo. While some contemporary buildings max out at 750 square feet, this is the size of the smallest unit at 1400 Dixie And those who need as much space as they can get their hands on will be glad to hear that the building is home to units as large as 3,200 square feet.Suites in the building contain one, two, or three bedrooms, while some boast dens as well. Not all of the units have balconies, which may be a dealbreaker for some, although others are able to overlook this detail because of all the communal outdoor space afforded to residents.As old as the building itself may be, condo seekers looking for a contemporary home are in luck, as many of the suites have been renovated over the years. In fact, it&rsquo;s not all that uncommon to find stainless steel appliances, brand new flooring, and walls that have been removed to create open concept living spaces.

Travelling around Mississauga is easy with an address like 1400 Dixie. Even those without cars have no trouble getting around with the Long Branch and Port Credit GO Stations so close at hand. For drivers, it helps that the QEW takes just 2 minutes to reach by car.

Condo is great, very spacious and wonderful maintenance and security. The building is a little old but its well maintained with manicured grounds and is surrounded by golf courses and has a gym and pool. Great for an older demographic, though recently a lot of younger residents have been moving in too

I love the many amenities the condo offers and the grounds are beautifully maintained. It’s location is also fantastic because its close to lots of areas for gorgeous runs and bike rides. There is easy access to the GO train, making it convenient for commuting to Toronto. The views from the units are spectacular and the security guards are always so friendly!
