1575 Lakeshore Road W

While Toronto developers are forced to build tall, rather than wide, Mississauga’s less dense landscape lends itself to larger, low-rise condos. The Craftsman Condos at 1575 Lakeshore Road West is a perfect example of a dense Mississauga residential development that covers a large swathe of land: the building rises to just 4 storeys and yet it contains nearly 300 homes.

Built by Vandyk, the Craftsman Condos fittingly contains elements of craftsman-style architecture, such as exposed wood structural elements. Inside, condo seekers can expect to find a 24-hour concierge, a gym, guest suites, and a party room. There’s plenty of outdoor common space to explore as well, with residents having access to a landscaped courtyard and a rooftop terrace with seating.

With homes ranging from around 600 to 1,750 square feet, prospective buyers have plenty of choice when it comes to size and layout. Suites contain one to three bedrooms, and some boast dens as well.

Regardless of size, every unit at 1575 Lakeshore West is bright and modern, thanks to high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Corner units are especially unique with their rounded columns and window-clad walls, while ground-level suites contain charming yards.

Situated in the Clarkson and Lakeside Park neighbourhood, the Craftsman Condos is perfect for those seeking a quiet and tranquil place to call home. While residents can find commercial businesses along Lakeshore Boulevard West, the real draw here is all the public outdoor space in Clarkson and Lakeside Park. Birchwood Park, for example, sits right behind the building, while nearby lakeside green spaces include Jack Darling Memorial Park and the Rattray Marsh Conservation Area.

Living right on a major road like Lakeshore West has its perks for residents who drive as well as those without cars. Lakeshore West can be used to reach the Gardiner Expressway, while the QEW is accessible via Lakeshore West and Southdown Road. As for those who prefer not to drive, there’s a bus stop just down the street from the Craftsman Condos at Lakeshore West and Meadow Wood Road. The 23 Lakeshore bus makes a stop here before heading west toward the Clarkson GO Station and east toward Long Branch Station.
