Moving out

Rent in Toronto is pretty ridiculous, so unless you've already saved up a decent amount and work a job with solid wage, you'll want to find roommates.

Honestly, look for people that are also responsible enough to hold down a job. You don't want to be the only one working, because then you'll just be coming back to a mess and feeling flustered.

Rent is ridiculous in Toronto. Unless you have a high paying job it's unlikely you'll live on your own.

Anywhere close to downtown the rent gets higher.

The rent is ridiculous in Toronto.

Rent ridiculous Toronto

Toronto the rent ridiculous is in

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm going to spend sometime looking for potential roommates who can hold down a job and are responsible enough. Not moving out now but it's better to research about it first, so it isn't as hard when I finally do.

>Is there anything I should be aware of before moving out?
Not OP, but interested in this. Will move into a flat with my gf this summer

OP, try to get some stuff too. A savings account is good, but having stuff available + a savings account is even better. You'll waste a lot of money getting started. You should definitely get some pots and pans, a good knife, silverware, and stuff like that. It adds up!

Also, a mini fridge is an excellent way to avoid fights with roommates who eat your food.

22 year old, until recently, lived in vancouver for 6 years. (On my own)

People in Van say the same shit about rent, and they're categorically wrong. If you're fine with gettig a rommate then go ahead, I personally don't like living with anyone. Yes it's true that if you try to find a place in downtown rent will be high, but it's fucking downtown, so if y just expand your area, you can find a place on 58th for 850/month. 1 bdrm, nice area.

Everyone loves to moan about how high housing prices are, but they don't have experience in actually finding a 1bdrm.

Things I looked for: proximity to my work (restaurant), but most importantly routes to and from work. Getting to and from work/school is incredibly important imo. You can find a nice place in some areas (looking at you coquitlam) and then have an awful commute because you're so far away, or because the roads you take are heavily congested. So it's important to know what your schedule is like, and work around that. Ask yourself: when does traffic get bad in the morning, when does it get bad in the afternoon(unavoidable if you work/school daytime hours.

This is all assuming you drive. Not sure what public transportation is like in toronto.

I'm in Toronto, I'll live with you OP.
