High Park/Bloor West Village

Most: Beaches or Rosedale
Why : Beaches because of all the little shops and beach walkway. Rosedale because of all the amazing homes and it being sheltered by ravines from the Ghetto south of Bloor (along Sherborne) and Scarberia to the east. Oh yea, lots of bike paths too.

Least: Jane/Finch or Sherborne/Dundas
Why: Too much sillyness goes on in those areas...(and I don't mean funny silly)

Originally posted by Ix2L I think the most desirable neighbourhood - atleast to raise a family - is Thornhill. My vote for least would have to be Rexdale.

Whats wrong with Rexdale Never had any problems here.


Personally i like Royal York/Islington, between Eglinton and Bloor.

I used to live at Islington and Bloor; I concur, that area is nice too!

Originally posted by dEsidEL sorry , correction , i meant South-Central Scarborough aka. anywhere along that RT line

Wrong! I live in the townhouse complex beside the Lawrence RT station and my neighborhood is very peaceful. Kids running around and people everywhere. I don't know why you guys have to keep knokin scarborough but it really ain't that bad. If you're driving around and the surroundings look like the hood then you prolly are in it but that doesn't mean the rest of the city is one.

To raise a family the most desirable places would be:
- thornhill or north of there
- rouge valley area in east end of scarborough
- beaches

least desirable would be:
- anywhere near the downtown core
- markham and mississauga

SHUT UP AND DANCE !!

I am not that familiar with the GTA. But since living here, I must say:

Most desirable:

-Our neighbourhood nestled between the AGO and Eaton Centre. We have a great view of City Hall, and often walk by Osgoode Hall. There are beautiful townhouses around Baldwin.

-Cabbagetown west of parliament. Very beautiful. lots of greenspace.

-The annex (houses, not apartments )

-Beaches

I'm an urbanite at heart!

Least desirable:

-On Queen between Jarvis and Parliament?

-some areas of Jamestown

I really am not a good judge of the GTA. I can tell you all about Montreal, though!

i know more about the downtown areas.

most desirable: the annex, especially the blocks north of U of T and south of Dupont. There is some sweet ass townhouses there that look like inside design magazines.

least desirable: Parkdale on one side and Parliment/Sherbourne on the other.

Most desirable GTA suburb = Aurora, Stouffville, Ajax (close enough to the city but far enough away and people arent too stuck up)

Least desirable GTA suburb = Brampton (lots of crime recently), Oakville (too stuck up.... kids there think they are gods gift by age 4 literally)

Most desirable Toronto = Davisville, North York, Beaches

Least desirable = the usual suspects such as rexdale, parts of scarberia and flemingdon as well as downtown east of yonge and parkdale.

most desirable: north york

least desirable: anywhere downtown

Fav: Beaches.
east york is also pretty nice for the money

Worst: anywhere to far from the subway line or slotcar line, to far for my drunken ass to make it home after a night of boozin
