Toronto is a vibrant, happening and multicultural place to live so there is no wonder why so many people choose to relocate to this great city. Whether you are already on your way here, or just considering if Toronto is the place for you, here are some tips to help you along the way.
Accommodation
Toronto has a great standard of living, but coupled with this are high house prices and rental costs. The average price for a semi-detached house will be in the region of $1.1million and a condo will be in the region of $750,000. Prices of course will vary depending on where you are staying, whether that be in the bustling and trendy downtown core or in the quieter and greener suburbs.
Prices will also vary depending on location for those of you considering Toronto rental properties, but to put things into perspective, the average monthly rent for a two bedroom condo will be in the region of $3,500. In addition to this you will also need to consider utility bills.
Your home is so important when relocating, and so it is essential that you get the right help as soon as you can. A Toronto relocation services professional is essential to help you in finding the right property to meet your real estate and relocation needs.
Public Transport
In considering where you would like to live, you will also need to think about the transport options available in order to commute to and from work. Toronto has a great subway system, streetcars, buses and the Go Train, which are all extremely reasonable in price.
A Multicultural City
Toronto is incredibly diverse with people from all over the world calling Toronto their home. Around 200 languages are spoken here, and so wherever you are moving from, you can be sure that you will be made to feel welcome and right at home.
The Weather
Toronto benefits from great weather with scorching summers and snow filled winters. Although winters are not as harsh as other parts of Canada, you will still need to wrap up and invest in winter clothes. It’s all about the layers!
