 Toronto is a huge, sprawling city which offers any number of neighbourhood characteristics and different lifestyles.
Our criteria for selecting good places to live may seem pedestrian to our more avant-garde readers, but they are focused around the fact that the majority of people prefer living in areas with:
›› low crime rates
›› good schools
›› good access to downtown Toronto

Modern Homes – The Cookie Cutter Approach
Many new-build homes have appeared in Richmond Hill, Markham, and Vaughan, for example. These are often referred to as cookie-cutters on the basis that the houses have as much individuality as cookies cut using the same cutter.

Housing in all of these areas is expensive – expect to pay over $900,000+ for an average townhouse. Most of the population in each of the neighbourhoods has British Isles ancestry.

Bloor Village West is known for its quiet, leafy streets. It has plenty of restaurants and bars and lies about 30 minutes from Toronto’s commercial district by subway. About one-sixth of Bloor Village West’s population are visible minorities – the main groups are South East Asian and Chinese.
