Lakeview, is one of the communities in Mississauga, formerly Toronto Township, in the Region of Peel, just east of Port Credit, which amalgamated into the Town of Mississauga in 1968. It is located in the extreme southeastern corner of the city. Currently the tallest structure is a 25 story condominium building, Applewood Place, located on the northwest corner of Bloor Street and Dixie Road.

Lakeview is found along the northern shores of Lake Ontario between the Etobicoke Creek and Cooksville Creek.
Along the shore of Lake Ontario, Lakeview is the home of the Port Credit Yacht Club and the Water Treatment Plantas well as the G. E. Booth (Lakeview) Wastewater Treatment Plant.

It was the site of the first commercial air training airport in Canada and the home for many war time munitions plants during World War II. The airport was run by the Curtis Aviation School and located west of the recognized centre of Long Branch part of the current city of Toronto. The Lakeview location is documented by the presence of Aviation Road running south off Lakeshore Road just west of Cawthra Road. The site is further acknowledged by National Historic Plaque #1166

Also known for the 4 Sisters, the four smokestacks of the former Lakeview Generating Station of Ontario Power Generation which were demolished on June 12 2007. They were called the 4 Sisters because the generating plant actually had eight boilers and two boilers were 'sistered' to a common stack. At 493ft each they were easily the tallest structures in the area.
