As mentioned in Brampton condos, there are many older buildings in Brampton as well as a lot of new ones going up, that’s where the huge variation in price comes in.

Where even a one bedroom condo can reach close to $200,000 in Mississauga, it’s still relatively cheap in Brampton, starting at around $110,000 or so. It’s because of affordability that people are attracted to Brampton.

Living in a condominium apartment is all about choosing a different lifestyle. There are no lawns to mow, no snow to clean, no garbage to take out on the street, no fixing the roof or anything external to the condo unit you’re staying in. Usually parking is underground so no need to worry about car not starting in the winter or having to clean it after snow. There is at least a security guard in the building, sometimes even a concierge. A lot of the amenities are included such as a gym, swimming pool, party room, and sometimes even tennis courts, bowling alleys, billiards room and so on. These are all the things that you would pay separately for if you were living in a house.

A lot of the condos in Brampton are built around Bramalae City Centre. This is one of the biggest malls in Brampton. It’s home to a more than 280 retail stores along with grocery stores as well. Brampton transit buses, GO transit buses, and York region buses connect riders to major cities within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and all of them have connections/stops at the Bramalea City Centre.

The condos around the Bramalea City Centre are older than the ones being built around downtown Brampton. Due to their age, there is a huge price advantage over the newer condos being built in Brampton or Mississauga. They are not only cheaper but also quite large. It’s not uncommon to find a 1,150 sq. ft. or larger 2 bedroom condo around the Bramalea City Centre, whereas the same 2 bedroom condo in a newer building might be around only 750 sq.ft. or so and yet costing almost double!

If you’re looking to own your own place instead of renting, Brampton condos might be what you’re looking for!
