Anyone here from Toronto area? Looking to relocate from NY to Toronto and in search of apartment/condo. My budget is $1500 for a 1bd. Is that realistic? Things I care about:
1. Walking distance to gym
2. Walking distance to a grocery store
3. Proximity to Old Toronto/kings st (work) with biking/public transport
4. Don't plan to own a car

What are some good sites to look for apartments or realtors?

Is your budget in usd to cad? The rent in downtown dropped significantly due to COVID, so I think you can find a 1b with $1,500 CAD now if you do some research. Prior to COVID, it will be $1,800 at least

Toronto downtown is safe in general. liberty village/fort York is great, but a bit further if you’re work in financial district, and no subway/path connected. I personally like entertainment district, you cannot go wrong with either.

Yeah right now should be possible to rent in that much. You can find pretty good apartments at very good locations

Thanks both. Where do you typically look for apartments? Zillow?

I use realtor.ca, but you can also get an agent to help out, it is free anyway.

Get a realtor, they will suggest you areas within you budgets and can put you on new property searches as they become available. Realtors are free for buyers / renters, so always a good idea to get them. I can share details of mine if you’re interested.

Thank you!
