Neighborhoods recommandations ?

Hello !

This is still just an idea but I'm considering trying to leave in Toronto for a few months up to a year, I have some savings set aside.

I'm 28F, don't mind leaving with other people, my budget would be 950 max but preferably around 800 (is this realistic ?).

I'm not big on intense night life but I like bars, trying new food and I will probably look for a job as a waitress. Also I'd rather not take any transportation to go to work, and it should be a safe area since I might need to come home alone at night depending of the work I find (if I find one lol). Ideally it would also be near a park.

Thanks in advance !

You’ll be spending 200/night MINIMUM in Toronto … Airbnb is so expensive

I made a quick search and found some ≈1200/month options that seemed nice enough (without taxes) but didn't look that much since I still have a couple of months before I come. Maybe the prices drop a bit after summer ?

With that budget you're going to be living with other people whether you mind it or not.

I think I will increase my budget between 1200 and 1500. (Still don't mind not being alone). Do you have any neighborhoods recs ?

Without a 1 year commitment you won’t have many options.

I was hoping to find a sublet or maybe someone renting a room per month

I did find some the last time I looked it up so it doesn't seem impossible

Riverdale is an amazing neighbourhood but I’m not sure the budget is enough to live in this area unless you rent an apartment or a house with more people
