MINEOLA HOUSING REPORTS

Mineola West is part of the "Cultural Landscape Inventory" the City of Mississauga initiated in 2005.

The City of Mississauga adopted a Cultural Landscape Inventory in 2005. All properties located in one of the approximately 60 cultural landscapes are listed on the City’s Heritage Register  regardless of individual architectural / historic interest. Cultural landscapes and features include historic settlements; agricultural, industrial, urban, residential, civic and natural areas; parks; scenic views; scenic roadways; bridges; and wall formations. For more information go to:  Mississauga Cultural Landscape Inventory

The Mineola West Cultural Landscape is bounded by the QEW, Hurontario Street, the Credit River and the CNR corridor. It is one of several residential areas identified as cultural landscapes, which include a similar low-density residential community known as Lorne Park Estate (along the lakeshore to the west). The following character description is taken from the Heritage section of the Property Information for all individual lots within the Mineola West Cultural Landscape  www.mississauga.ca/portal/services/property). A more detailed description may be found in the City of Mississauga’s Cultural Landscape Inventory (L-RES-6).(It should be noted that the directions chosen to refer to the property are not precise. Neither the CN tracks nor Stavebank Road run directly east to west or north-south.) 

The Mineola [west residential area] has been identified as a significant cultural landscape due to the development of this area in a time when natural elements respected the lot pattern and road system. These elements include rolling topography, natural drainage and mature trees. The roads wind, rise and fall with the natural topography. There are no curbs. This softens the transition from landscaped yards to the street edge. What has evolved is a neighbourhood with a variety of quality housing stock and a rich stimulating landscape that blends houses with their 
natural and manicured surroundings. The balance of built form and natural surroundings on generally larger lots has given this neighbourhood a distinct character within Mississauga
