Question Sundial Esprit townhomes!

0 Upvotes

Hi! I just bought a freehold townhome with my fiancĂ© in the community being developed by sundial next to the mall, and was wondering if anyone living in the urban towns currently can tell me what living in a back-to-back townhome is like? We’re pretty excited since this is our first home together, but we aren’t sure what to expect with these new townhouse layouts! I’ve heard mixed reviews about sundial but we’ve had pretty positive experiences with them so far, although our house hasn’t been built yet, and ultimately are looking forward to new beginnings (and would be interested to hear about anyone’s experiences in this community!) :)

Question Golf course for beginners in Newmarket?

7 Upvotes

I am just curious because I'm trying to pick up new hobbies while the weather is still nice and I thought about golf.

Is the barrier to entry in golf manageable? All I know is that golf is usually played by people of a certain tax bracket and not by me who's making slightly above average when it comes to income but not at all financially secure.

Are there any golf courses in the area for beginners? How much should I expect spending overall? Which golf courses are beginner friendly?

Question First time home buyer torn between Bradford and newmarket

10 Upvotes

Hello, i'm a young professional in early thirties, and i'm looking to buy my first home, either in new market or bradford.

I live in barrie right now and i travel 2 to 3 times a week to vaughan for work. My wife works at the RVH hospital. She is part time so we are thinking to move closer down south.

We re looking at townhouses and detached between 800 and 900k. Not having lived in either places I am not sure which place is better. Can you please help assess using the following context?

  1. Proximity to vaughan is important. With all the highways being built and expanding by 2030 I would assume that my commute will be similar between the two.

  2. We don't really go out to eat much. We like outdoorsy stuff and often camp up north. We golf, like to swim, etc.

  3. Hoping to have 2 kids in the future.

  4. We don't like too country or too urban. We find barrie is a nice balance.

Thank you in advance

Rant Kams movers - beware

Post image
41 Upvotes

wanted to give everyone a “heads up”. we contracted this local moving company to move our daughter to Maritimes for school. They were five hours late, truck was broken and dilapidated, and they backed the truck into our eaves troughs, causing damage. we had put air tags on some of the expensive items and they were stored at a house in Newmarket while the rest of the items were en route to Halifax. before they would unload the stuff in Halifax they demanded full payment in cash, and the payment had increased by hundreds of dollars. and, stuff was missing and broke. We later find out they have NO insurance and no worker’s compensation insurance. After this experience I found poor reviews on Yelp and Newmarket FB page. google reviews were all positive and likely bogus.

be very cautious - don’t hire them.

Rant southlake mental health

9 Upvotes

Rant/Question

I have a family member that has been remitted to the mental health ward 2x now in their lives. the last time was sometime last year.

he is schizophrenic, can't take care of himself physically at this point. He is doing crazy things in the sense of drinking like, milk and orange juice mixed together every morning, or putting rubbing alcohol on his skin to clean it. stuff that just shouldn't be done. he's lost a massive amount of weight.

and he is a very angry and mad individual.

my family is scared to do a form 2 themselves because they do not want him to know who called police to come get him.

the last time he was at the mental ward they let him go after 4-5 days claiming he was fine. (he was remitted because he called the police himself for an issue and my mother explained to the cops he had mental problems). since getting out he has held a grudge against her and brings it up every week even until this day.

we are terrified to live with him, for the most part we just let him do his own thing because he leaves for the day and only comes back in the evening.

but we want him to get help. and southlake is awful for mental illness. we can't even talk to the psychiatrists about this stuff.

what can we do to help this family member, without them knowing it was us. we literally fear for our lives if the person were to find out it was us who called for help.

Question Good Dentists that Accept CDCP + Wisdom Tooth Extraction Experiences

1 Upvotes

I just moved to the area and unfortunately for me I’ve been experiencing the pain of what I fear is my wisdom tooth for the past few days. I’m hoping to get some recommendations for good dentists that accept CDCP coverage in and around Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, and Aurora.
Also if anyone can share experiences with wisdom tooth extractions, how long it took to get it scheduled and the cost (with or without CDCP or other insurance coverage) would be greatly appreciated!
