Brampton has grown into one of Canada’s largest cities on the strength of new subdivisions: Springdale, Castlemore and Bram East in the north-east, Mount Pleasant and Credit Valley in the west, Fletcher’s Meadow and Snelgrove to the north. Detached and semi-detached homes dominate, often with legal basement apartments that matter to first-time buyers.
Downtown, around Gage Park and the Rose Theatre, has a heritage main street and the Brampton GO station; Bramalea and Mount Pleasant are the other Kitchener-line stops. Highway 410 runs north-south through the city to the 401 and 407, and Pearson is a short drive south. Sheridan College and Algoma University have campuses here, and Brampton Civic is the main hospital.
