Countryside Villages
History:
Countryside Villages was a former rural hamlet known as Mayfield Village, that was located at the intersection of the 3rd Line of Bramalea Road and Mayfield Road. Mayfield was typical of rural hamlets from the 1800s in that it contained a schoolhouse, general store, post office, blacksmith shop and a hotel that would accommodate weary travellers.
Overview:

The housing stock is all relatively new and geared towards families with parks and a neighbourhood school. Sesquicentennial Park located at 11333 Bramalea Road is a Brampton landmark featuring a central pavilion that is ringed by eight baseball diamonds. Highway 410 forms the west boundary of this neighbourhood providing easy access for commuters. The Town of Caledon is located just beyond the north boundary of this neighbourhood off Mayfield Road.
