Moving to Toronto

  • Share this:

Toronto is the 3rd must-see city in the world Described as “irresistible” by the National Geographic, and all yours to call home.

I truly love this city, and equally enjoy helping others find a home and neighbourhood that they love here. Whether you’re relocating from an hour outside of the city or from a different country, I’m more than happy to help you make the move.

Where to Live in Toronto?

One of the great things about living in Toronto is the abundance of fantastic communities here. I’ve covered the need-to-know information about where to live in Toronto in my neighbourhood guides, where you can learn more about the real estate, schools, local favourites, and more.

If you’re looking for a community-focused neighbourhood with a laidback feel, I would suggest an area like Dufferin Grove or Seaton Village. If you are more interested in the trendy downtown scene, Trinity Bellwoods might be for you. And of course, you don’t want to overlook the great neighbourhoods in the East End like Leslieville or Riverdale.

Want to find the neighbourhood that’s best for you? Whether moving to Toronto with or without a job, tell me a bit more about yourself here and I will help you determine where to live in Toronto. 

What types of homes are there?

From detached Victorian homes to townhouses and modern condos, there are a few different housing options in our city. It’s all about finding the one that fits your needs, budget, and plans for the future. Take a look at some of my featured listings to get a better understanding of the diverse real estate market.

If you want to start your home search today, you can do so right here. You can filter through listings by price, home type, or neighbourhood.

Getting Around: Toronto Transportation

There are 4 major public transportation systems here:

  • TTC for bus, streetcar, and subway service throughout the city
  • GO Transit for service to and from the city and surrounding area
  • UP Express, an express service from Union Station and Pearson Airport
  • Via Rail for cross-Canada train service

There are also a growing number of bike lanes in the city, as well as a bike share program with more than 200 stations across the city.

If you’re a driver you will also have access to major arteries in and out of the city, including the Don Valley Parkway, Gardiner Expressway, Lake Shore Boulevard, Allen Road, Highway 401, and Highway 400. If you’re moving here from outside of Ontario, you will need to exchange your licence.
