I'd say living above a store or in a fully detached is your best bet. Some older buildings are quite soundproof, but many of the new ones are not.

I'd say that much for a semi-detached in most areas.

Yeah definitely... most areas you cant get jack-shit for 500K, an decent-sized condo at best. But I am sure you can find something for 500K, but it would be in a 'less desirable' area.

Condos with solid concrete construction are generally pretty soundproof--it's definitely something to ask when arranging an appointment. Don't take the landlord's word for it, though; I'd recommend asking the neighbours if they've ever had problems when you go visit. I believe the lofts at 43 Hannah are soundproof.

Above a storefront is ideal. You could also try to find a coach house, but they tend to get snapped up pretty quickly.

If you don't mind paying $350, get in contact with the dude who runs preflix.tv. He specializes in exclusively marketing unique rentals for people with particular tastes and needs (e.g. DJs and househeads, for example). The rent prices seem reasonable, too.

The inside is fine, but you can hear the Gardner all the time.
