Golf Town Toronto
Me and my wife will be permanently moving to Toronto by the end of July. We have been staying in Halifax, NS for about 6-7 years now. We've stayed in various places before, from the suburbs to the busiest street in Halifax (10 mins to downtown). I have done an extensive research of the places to avoid in Toronto, and just to name a few: Jane & Finch, Parkdale, Entertainment District (pretty much anything from Queen St W down south, and all the way to parliament st. ), Lawrence and Jane, Cabbage Town, Thorncliffe park, O'connor-Woodbine-St Claire, Flemingdon Park, from Sheppard-Victoria-Steeles. . The golf area, and etc. Now, are there any particularly safe/quiet area in TO that I should look into? I have shortlisted some apartments above Highpark, and some along Yonge St, Bloor-Yonge, Bayview Village, and Broadview Ave. Thanks. Here's a google map that I've created about TO and areas to avoid, please take a look and let me know if there's any mistake, or anything that I may have missed. Thanks Well, I have your answer. I would add to your avoid list: Rexdale/Etobicoke North, Malvern, Birchmount/Finch. As for good areas, it would help if you gave us an estimate of your rental/purchase budget because that will ultimately be the defining factor. As you are aware, real estate is all about location, location, location. But generally speaking, without having any details about what you look for in a good neighbourhood (your budget, good schools, proximity to transit, adequate parking, larger houses, etc) here are some neighbourhoods I would recommend: Yonge-Eglinton/Chaplin Estates area, Leaside, Lawrence Park, North York Centre, Riverdale, Kingsway/Old Mill, Bloor West Village, Roncesvalles Village, Little Italy, Beaches, the Annex, and Moore Park. The most sought-after neighbourhoods, like Rosedale, Bridle Path and Forest Hill, are also the most expensive, with houses going for millions of dollars. In many of the neighbourhoods I listed, you should expect to pay a minimum of $800,000.
