Toronto is one of the most populous and interesting cities in Canada. From its urban nightlife to the excellent job opportunities for millennials, it’s easy to see why so many people are starting to look for furnished apartments in Toronto. Whether you’re heading to the city to visit, for a temporary job assignment, or permanently, you can’t skip these neighborhoods during your stay.
Kensington Market
Are you a little Bohemian? Do you like the “crunchier” side of life? If you’re all peace and love, you’ll love Kensington Market. The eclectic neighborhood is full of positive energy in the form of coffee shops, organic grocery stores, vintage clothing boutiques, bookstores, and a wide range of restaurants. The hardest part will be deciding which place to check out first!
The Distillery District
A couple of decades ago, there wasn’t much to the Distillery District. The Victorian-era buildings had promise but weren’t much more than old buildings at that time. Once a group of developers took notice, things changed. Artists and entrepreneurs took over the space, creating a neighborhood full of art exhibits and unique galleries that is very similar to the Soho district of New York City. The European patio vibe is perfect for people who love nightlife but prefer it in the form of quiet, hip dinners than loud clubs.
Ossington Avenue
Ossington Avenue has the best of both worlds. It’s a tiny neighborhood (just a small stretch of the avenue) where everybody knows each other, but it’s also the perfect place for people who love food. Running between Dundas Street and Queen Street, the neighborhood features a wide range of restaurants and bars, all situated near Trinity Bellwoods Park.
The Beaches
If you want to be close to Toronto but would also like to feel like you aren’t in the thick of the big city, consider the Beaches on the city’s east end. This neighborhood is practically its own town and allows beach lovers to live by the water while maintaining close proximity to work. This neighborhood is perfect for sunbathing and swimming during warm months and is has its own entertainment and amenities, so you never need to stray far from the water.
Whether you plan to stay in the Toronto area for a week or a year, these neighborhoods are some of the most interesting the city has to offer. Consider furnished apartments to make the move even easier on you and potentially save you money in the long run.
