D-13 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 For about the last year or so I have been contemplating whether or not I should go into Audio Engineering or something else in the music field. I have researched many many schools...and in the end I think the winner will be "Harris Institute". So this means I would have to move to lovely Toronto! . I was just wondering about housing. Harris is located on 118 Sherbourne Street. I have already talked to Barney about this and he said that area is not a very safe place to live in. I really don't care where I live because Toronto has a good transportation system and I can drive, although living in a safe area would be nice . Question is....what are the best areas to live in? There are so many areas it's not even funny!... Any info would be helpful I'm getting excited about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanEHdian Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I agree with Barney..DO NOT live on Sherbourne Street I think you would LOVE to live downtown..there are alot of places that aren't as scarey as Sherbourne Street All the best to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-D-RocK- Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 How about Newmarket, Oshawa, Burlington, Barrie, Ajax or Markham? I bet those GO trains are tons of fun to ride everyday. Good for you though! I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy that experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signals1982 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hey D! You're gonna have a great time in TO. We'll definetly have to meet up sometime. Maybe you should look at housing near other schools in better neighbourhoods. Because you'll find cheap student housing near any college or university.

YYZ Working Man Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Ok I live in Mississauga the closest burb just outside of TO. Mississauga - is an awesome place you cam go train transit ,car pool right to shebourne. I work in toronto and comute everday down there. Sherbourne /Front/University/jarvis all that area is a little run down- not that it is unsafe but it is hookerville-lower income housing area. However you can find a cheap apartment there just keep your wits about you -it wont be the Ritz Trust me if you want to be a bus ride away -within 15mins try the new condos off Spadina - look in the toronto star for any business person renting a condo -good bet -the esplanade- Queen Quay ,Navy Warf,Mariner,these are also good options. look for these to rent I highly recommend Mississauga about a 35min car ride away Also even closer - is Etobicoke - grab something in High Park, Bloor Windimere- about a 30 minute bus South Etobicoke/lakeshore- go train goes right in too Once you get to Toronto -you will not want to leave -great city great people. If you are thinking of buying one day - Buy in Mississuga, Milton. Georgetown - outside the city but great homes that retain value -that keep their value Look me up when you get here i will show you around.

D-13 Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 I got accepted into Harris. So now it begins. My good friend who has been living in the TO area...told me these are good spots... Annex Parkdale Little Italy little portugal Bad spots... Anywhere by my school! Parliament St area Sherbourne St area Regent part Shutter st area River St.area So far everyone has been telling me to stay away from the sherbourne area...where my school is. So that is what I will do. I don't need to be close to school...it's certainly not important...because any train, street car can get me there in 20, 30 mins...anywhere. I have found a lot of places in Parkdale. It's going to be hard because the college students start in September...so looking for a house around august...GOOD LUCK! I might have to get over there earlier than I thought. Like June or July...or even earlier. Anyone want to add to this list of spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
