Neighbourhoods in Toronto
Hello
Just wanted some advice on potential neighbourhoods i should look at for our planned move to Toronto in 2016. We would be recent graduates so we would need to be close to Downtown. We would like somewhere quite qwerky, safe with nice restaurants and bars etc. My girlfriend really wants to have that neighbourhood feeling so she dosen't want to be high up in the sky in a condo at maple leaf square or anything. We live in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands at the moment and it is quite a nice town so we would want something similar in Toronto. Ive been thinking places like Oakville? Liberty Village, Old Town those sort of places? Would these suit a young professional couple whilst also offering competitive prices? Thanks for all advice. |

Cabbagetown, perhaps. This is a good list: http://www.boldts.net/Toronto.shtml On edit: "Old Town" seems to be a new name for Moss Park. I hope you're not going to have to live there. |

We eventually moved to the inner-burbs, first Leslieville and then the Beach so as to get a patch of grass and then a bigger patch of grass. |

Okay great thanks for the help. The GF loves Yorkville but that seems just way to expensive!

Re: Neighbourhoods in Toronto
Consider The Beaches or Yonge and Eglington / Lawrence.
All have fairly good access to downtown, good food / bars and a nighbourhood feel. |

Anywhere in the Box.
Kensington Market - Lots of Quirk Parkdale lots of quirk but somewhat of a risky bet, but saying that, a fair few of my friends live there problem free Roncesvalles - Quirky and Polish Little Italy - Where I live, somewhat 'creative' but not really Italian Cabbagetown - victorian million dollar homes, plus cheap rents Corktown - cheaper more downmarket neighbourhood Avoid Liberty Village - I work here, it used to be rammed full of artists, but now it's a soulless bourgeois paradise, full of bland condos. Riverdale and Leslieville in the East End should also work, but I know less of those being a West Ender. Yorkville is like Kensington & Fulham in London, very expensive and excruciatingly dull.... |
