Get ready, I'm moving...

...to Toronto. That's right, I will most likely be relocating to the GTA. You may all thank your lucky stars now.

On that note, I'm going to be going to U of T in the downtown campus and I need advice of which areas of the City are safe enough, cheap, hopefully close to downtown, and where more young peeps live.

good to see you coming to toronto to cause some havok, stereoprincess. Now it's time to throw away your Sens jerseys and pick up some blue and white.

A lot of people have some misconception that downtown toronto is dangerous, not so. I don't think you'll have any trouble finding a place near U of T campus, won't be cheap though.

No shit?
Cool!
I remember meeting you at Sasha & Digweed...
You'll have an awesome time

Well, you can get a relatively cheap and safe place near campus, but only if you don't mind living in a cruddy place. You have to find a roommate unless you just want to rent a room in somebodies house, as bachelor apartments will run you around $1000+ a month.

If you're going to U of T you should really look into residence. It's reasonably priced, and it's a great way to meet lots of people.

Highly doubt that will be happening!!
Leafs = crap!!

Can't move to rez. Cuz its too late plus I'm going to graduate school so rez life might be a diversion.

I really don't want to live in a horrible cruddy place!! I need to do some research.

What's your budget?

Just for a reference, the big apartment building on Spadina across from the grad residence is about $1800/month for a 2 bedroom place. Very pricy...

Posted by Fir3start3r on Jul-22-2002 02:14:

Being right down town is very pricey indeed.
I used to live in Etobicoke which is about a 20min subway ride from downtown.
It was the second last subway stop going West.
Area was nice and highly recommend it.
True it's not right downtown, but it's cheaper and at least the convience of a 24hr bus (along Bloor St.) route to back home from the bars is available (and of course the subway line, but that stops at like 1:30am or something like that).

Just something to think about.
I've lived right downtown for a coop for 4 months once during the summer. Too many damn distractions if you're going to study I think.
But you might be more disciplined than I was at school

Just ask if you want some more info.

You mean in Etobicoke?
Stay near the Subway route and the area is nice.
Lived there 4 years and never had any complaints.
Go to far South (past QEW) and the area is questionable (government housing and stuff).
Too far North (past 401) looks a little dicey too.
The middle is juuuuuust right.

hey congrats, I guess we'll be seeing you out more often!

As for cheap places around toronto downtown it will probably cost you anywhere from $500 (if you are lucky) - $700 and up, but that's if you move in with a room mate. I don't know if any of the newspapers post their classifieds on line but check out www.torontostar.com
good luck with finding a flat!

once again congrats and see you soon!

my girlfriend who lives at Yonge and College is lookin for a 3rd roommate.. asking price is about $535/month. the place is about 2 min from the subway and about 5-10 min from UofT.. itz a really nice place with a balcony, kitchen, AC, etc..

Hey, thanks a lot! That's exactly what I was looking for. Right now I live in an apartment where the owners own a whole chain of these kinds of apartments and I like it here. Its so much bother to rent from a single person.

This one is pretty good too...

I was just looking for places...

I'm going into 2nd year at UT and I was just searching for houses last week.

A really good UT website is the Housing Service Center for UT, they have a website, here:

http://eir.library.utoronto.ca/StudentHousing/

If you click on a few links, u should come to the Off Campus Housing Listing, here's the direct URL:

http://eir.library.utoronto.ca/stud...gin_housing.htm

But you're gonna need UT card to log in, if you're doing graduate studies, you should have one.

e-mail me if you don't and i'll let u use mine

But basically, you can search for all off campus listings thru there by zip code, pretty useful. I FOUND ALOT OF PLACES AND HAD TO MAKE ALOT OF CALLS, then arrange an viewing and take a look at the house, if you like it, take it!

Watch out for contracts and if the utilities included or not.

I'm actually waiting for a call from a frat house to see if I"m in or not, right on St. George

Desidel was pretty generous advertising his girl's place, why don't u try that?

good luck

Posted by StereoPrincess on Jul-22-2002 22:41:

For the UT card is it just the student number that you need or is there something else that i need with that.

Thanks alot desidel, that is very nice of you. But I am looking for a 1 bdrm since I'm going to be moving in with my boyfriend.

I hate the whole application thing with apartments. I will keep you guys update of where I'm looking at.

!!BOYFRIEND!!

Posted by Maverick on Jul-23-2002 02:40:

Yeah, your ID is your library card #,

did you get your UT card yet? Your Library card # is written on your UT card.

Your password is your student #

Let me know if u still can't get it

BTW, you know I was just referrring to desidel right? hehe I'm not him, even though i'm sure he's a good guy and all
