As a general rule of thumb, the more west you go in Mississauga the better the area becomes. For areas with pakistani people, you really cannot quantify any one area since theyre found in equal concentration in every part of mississauga. For the kind of houses you're looking for i'd recommend you look at Erin Mills (west-southwest), Meadowvale (north-west), the area around Mavis / Eglinton (dunno what its called).
Stay away from Cooksville (dundas / hurontario) as this place is very congested and polluted. Its a great place to live if you dont have a car though. Also stay away from anything immediately next to the lake like Clarkson, Port Credit, Dixie, Lakeview as these are the older communities and desi people find it a bit hard to settle here. The houses are old and require lots of maintenance. The only good area near the lake is Lorne Parke but anything decent there starts at a million. :)
For a definitive search though mls.ca is all you need.

Re: Buying a home in Mississauga
^ya ok i was in a hurry 
was thinking something and writing something 
anyways I meant to say north of mississauga is great price wise and close to all desi facilities. Great resturants, Malls, halal meat stores, desi stores. You can find 4 bedroom house in your price range. Also don’t go too close to square one…traffic is hurrendous.
Chee is right about hurontario and dundas…it is good for groceries shopping but I would never live there.
