| You are going to be hard pressed to find a reasonable 2 bedroom above-ground for $1000. |

I am currently renting a 2 bedroom for 1150, at Yonge and Lawrence. I absolutely love my place, and the fact that I am 3min from the subway.
I just checked to see what is available, and unfortunately my building only has 1 bedrooms left. |

| yes they are bad but the price and location. I can not beat it. Your best bet is to rent a house with some friends or look for a roommate on crigslist. |

One warning.. Make sure there are no bedbugs in the building. I had an appartment around carlton & sherborne and the whole building was filled with bedbugs, which obviously I didn't anticipate before moving in. They are annoying, bite you while you sleep, living in your bed and all your stuff, and insanely hard to get rid of. I had to throw out all my bedroom furniture and matresses and pack everything I owned in garbage bag wrapped boxes and leave them for 10 months to make sure none surivived when I moved out.
AND while I lived there I had to deal with multiple exterminator visits, which required moving all the furniture to the center of the rooms, standing up the matresses, washing every piece of clothing and bedding and curtain you own. And moving out any pets you have. And the bedbugs will come back a few weeks later, guaranteed.
So.. especially if it's an older building, check carefully around the crevices of the walls in the bedroom, and ask the landlord or super if they've ever had problems in the past.
If it's a newer place I wouldn't worry so much though. |

:haha:
Hoo boy. Any half-decent condo in that area is going to sell for at least $250K. So I suppose you could do that for $1100/month, if you put $65K down (at least 25% of the purchase price is almost always required) and manage to find a 5% mortgage rate on the remaining amount, and somehow find a way not to pay any property taxes or condo fees.
(I know Margs pointed this out but I felt it necessary to show the math ;) ) |

| Crescent Town on Victoria Park and Danforth, nice affordable apartment complex right on the bloor subway line..2 min walk, i paid 899 for a large nice 2 bedroom inclusive and there is a gym membership included. Nice area, mall and grocery store within 10 min walk and DVP park/valley also right next to it. It takes 10 min to get downton from there. |

| Just an aside: am I the only one that hates craigslist? It's completely unorganized, difficult to navigate, and has minimal visuals. |
