Brampton, Ontario · TRREB community: Northwest Brampton
Northwest Brampton is the MLS name for the Mount Pleasant community — the city's newest and only genuinely transit-oriented greenfield district, bounded by Mayfield Road, Bovaird Drive, Mississauga Road and Fletcher's Meadow. About 76% of its homes were built between 2011 and 2016, and the mix is close to an even split between detached houses and townhouses, with mid-rise and high-rise stock at the GO station.

Two new schools are funded and in progress: Mount Pleasant Secondary School at Remembrance Road and Thornbush Boulevard, backed by $84.2 million in provincial funding for 1,660 pupil places and 73 licensed child care spaces — the first high school inside the community — and Mount Pleasant #9 PS at 595 Brisdale Drive, an 850-pupil K–8 school with a 73-space child care centre. Neither has a published opening date.

If you are searching MLS, note this first: there is no "Mount Pleasant" TRREB community. Mount Pleasant is the City of Brampton's planning name (Secondary Plan Area 51) for the district that TRREB lists as Northwest Brampton. Listings on Remembrance Road, Lagerfeld Drive, Golden Springs Drive, Buick Boulevard and Brent Stephens Way all map to Northwest Brampton.
This is Brampton's newest fully built residential district. Roughly 76% of homes date from 2011 to 2016, with ownership at 82%. Development accelerated after Mount Pleasant GO opened in 2005, and the secondary plan made a transit spine road and a walkable village core explicit design requirements — a deliberate departure from the cul-de-sac pattern of 1990s Brampton.
The dwelling mix is unusual for suburban Brampton: about 45% single-detached and 45% row and townhouse. If you want a freehold town in a new-build neighbourhood, this is where the depth of inventory is.
There is real apartment stock here too, which is rare outside Brampton's Queen Street belt. The Daniels Corporation and Choice Properties are building Mount Pleasant Village at Bovaird Drive West and Creditview Road — a 26-storey, 302-unit purpose-built rental tower with geothermal heating and cooling, a 6-storey 106-unit condominium, 36 stacked back-to-back townhomes, and later phases at 6, 11 and 14 storeys. The rental component operates as Uniti.
West of Mississauga Road sits Heritage Heights (Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53), stretching from Mayfield Road to the Credit River valley and from Winston Churchill Boulevard to Mississauga Road — roughly one-sixteenth of Brampton's land area, and what the City calls its last undeveloped area. Council has endorsed a concept plan of about 4,000 acres. For buyers, that means the western edge of this neighbourhood is not finished, and what gets built there over the next decade will change it.
| Mount Pleasant GO | Kitchener line, Bovaird Drive at Ashby Field Drive. Opened February 2005. 1,486 parking spaces with land banked for roughly 2,000, two bus terminals, and since April 2023 it has been the western terminus for weekend and most off-peak Kitchener service. |
| 505 Züm Bovaird | BRT from Mount Pleasant GO east along Bovaird to Viscount Station on the Pearson Terminal Link. Peak headways of 15 to 17 minutes. |
| 561 Züm Queen West | Downtown Brampton to Mount Pleasant GO via Queen Street and Mississauga Road. Confirm current operating status with Brampton Transit. |
| Local routes | 5 and 5A Bovaird, 23 Sandalwood, 26 Mount Pleasant. |
| Highways | Highway 410 east via Bovaird Drive; Highways 401 and 407 south via Mississauga Road. Highway 413 construction was confirmed starting August 2025, and provincial corridor protection for it is a stated driver of the revised Heritage Heights secondary plan. |
| Mount Pleasant Village | 100 Commuter Drive — a library branch, community centre and two-storey elementary school inside a reconstructed heritage CPR station, framed by three-storey live/work units and a public square with a reflecting pond that becomes a winter skating rink. |
| Creditview Sandalwood Park | 10510 Creditview Road — a 100-acre destination park with soccer and cricket fields, about 3km of walking trails, outdoor fitness stations, splash pads and the Creditview Activity Hub. |
| Cassie Campbell Community Centre | 1050 Sandalwood Parkway West — two ice pads, lap and leisure pools, fitness centre, track, gymnasium, dance studio, plus outdoor basketball, spray pad, BMX and skate park, tennis, cricket and field hockey pitches. Just beyond the eastern edge. |
| Health | Nearest hospital is Brampton Civic Hospital, 2100 Bovaird Drive East — across the city on the same arterial. |
Brampton's Residential Rental Licensing programme went city-wide on January 1, 2026, covering rental properties with one to four units. Applications are free but require an online education module and proof of at least $2 million in liability insurance.
Operating without a licence carries escalating fines — $750 for a first offence, $1,250 for a second, $1,500 after that. Separately from licensing, a basement apartment must be a legally registered second unit meeting the Ontario Building Code and Fire Code: ceiling height, egress windows, fire separation and interconnected alarms are the usual failure points in older stock.
"Finished basement with a kitchen" and "legal registered second unit" are not the same thing, and only one of them is financeable as income and insurable as a rental. Ask for the registration, not the renovation photos.

No. TRREB's Brampton community list contains Northwest Brampton and has no Mount Pleasant entry. Mount Pleasant is the City's Secondary Plan Area 51 name, and Mount Pleasant Village is the GO-station core within it. If you are searching listings, search Northwest Brampton.
Yes, and better than from most of Brampton. Mount Pleasant GO is on the Kitchener line and, since April 2023, has been the western terminus for weekend and most off-peak Kitchener service — which means service continues outside rush hour. It has 1,486 parking spaces and two bus terminals.
There is real apartment stock, unusual for new-build Brampton. Daniels and Choice Properties' Mount Pleasant Village at Bovaird West and Creditview includes a 26-storey 302-unit rental tower, a 6-storey 106-unit condo, 36 stacked back-to-back towns, and further phases at 6, 11 and 14 storeys. Beyond that, roughly 45% of the neighbourhood's stock is row and townhouse.
Currently Fletcher's Meadow SS at 10750 Chinguacousy Road for public, and St. Edmund Campion CSS at 275 Brisdale Drive for Catholic — both outside the community. A new Mount Pleasant Secondary School at Remembrance Road and Thornbush Boulevard is provincially funded at $84.2 million for 1,660 pupil places, which will be the first high school inside the neighbourhood. No opening date has been published.
The Province confirmed construction starting in August 2025, and the corridor runs through northwest Brampton with interchanges planned at Bovaird Drive, Chinguacousy Road and Mayfield Road. Provincial corridor protection for the highway forced the City to revise the Heritage Heights secondary plan around it, so it is already shaping what gets built west of Mississauga Road.
A great deal. Heritage Heights runs from Mayfield Road to the Credit River valley and from Winston Churchill Boulevard to Mississauga Road — about one-sixteenth of Brampton's land area, which the City calls its last undeveloped area, with a Council-endorsed concept plan of roughly 4,000 acres including a new town centre. Buying on the western edge means buying next to a decade of construction.
