Peel is the western third of the GTA: Mississauga on the lake, Brampton north of it, and rural Caledon up on the Niagara Escarpment. Pearson International Airport sits in the middle, surrounded by one of the largest employment zones in the country, and the region’s highways (401, 403, 410, 407, 427 and the QEW) make it the easiest part of the GTA to drive in every direction.
Three GO lines serve the region and the Hurontario LRT is being built up the spine of Mississauga into Brampton. Housing runs the full range from Square One condos to Caledon estates.
