Moving to Toronto for Work - Best option for Rent + Parking?
Hello everyone!
I’m currently negotiating a job offer in Downtown Toronto, and I’m considering moving there from the Ottawa area.
I’m looking for a studio or small 1-bedroom apartment, not a room/shared accommodation, with parking. My initial budget is around $22,000/year ( around $1,800/month), but I’m flexible and could add a couple thousand more if needed for a better option.
Ideally, I’d like to live somewhere within 30-45 minutes of Downtown Toronto by public transit.
I already have a car, and I’m planning to drive back to Ottawa every now and then, especially during holidays, since my family lives there. So having parking is important to me.
For those familiar with Toronto, what areas/neighborhoods would you recommend looking at? Is this budget realistic for a studio/1-bedroom with parking, or should I expect to increase it significantly?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
