Thanks Craig! I’ve been here my whole life - I think it’s a great place to raise a family and I love how close it is to all the bigger cities in the GTA. Where are you now?
I laugh at the proximity to bigger cities, but I guess that depends on definition. I'm from Oakville originally, but lived in Brantford for a few years. I have fond memories of Brantford and visit it when i can. After 16 years in Vancouver, I am in Edmonton. Edmonton is my home now, and I love it here, but Brantford still has that place in my heart@@JeffThibodeau
I have lived here my whole life and can say that its becoming more and more not worth it to stay here, too many people coming are turning it into a bigger city than brantford can handle. I miss old brantford but its now turning into hamilton very sad 😔
@@JeffThibodeau me and the family have been eyeing a place out east of brantford a bit very affordable and retro however i dont want to post about it online its kind of a hidden gem
I’ve got two kids myself and have lived here my whole life. There are pockets of the city, mostly near downtown where homelessness and hard drug use is a real issue - much like most cities this size and larger. The majority of the city is suburban residential neighborhoods and feels very safe. I have no problem with my kids walking to school or to the store alone. We rarely even lock the doors to our house during the day. Hope that helps.

Purchased a house here 8 years ago. Came here from Hamilton. We have 2 kids now with one in the public school system and one starting next year. Brantford is a great place, but that lack of energy, especially downtown is quite palpable. The standout reason to move here is bang for your buck and central location. Plus, some big box stores are finally on there way… if you’re into that kind of thing.
I've lived here since 2000....Brantford has gone downhill in a lot of ways. Biggest issue is the drugs and homeless problem. The city needs to deal with it instead of turning a blind eye. The riverfront should not be a skid row!
Brantford must be less expensive for everything than in cities like Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal, Quebec City, Victoria? Those other places, you will need a mortgage just to go out socializing. 😂
@@JeffThibodeau That is a relief. A new 1 bedroom, studio condo in Greater Victoria BC, costs around $350000 and not even including other expenses, yet. It is like your every $1 of income does not cover your $3 of living expenses. ☹️
@@GodsgraceishEcho Place is a hidden gem in Brantford. Lots of nice older homes in mature neighborhoods and a few newer construction areas. It’s a great location for access to the Highway.
@@GodsgraceishI guess if your living right next to one you may notice and impact. Most of the residential areas are not near the commercial streets where motels are located.
I took a picture for you - I can’t post it in the comments. Please send me an email jt@jeffthibodeau.me or text me 519-861-1385 and I can share it with you.
I lived in Brantford for a few years growing up. I loved it! Brantford's got heart

Also HUGE immigration issue
I hear you, I’ve also been here my whole life (1980). Any thoughts on where you’d move to to get that retro-Brantford vibe back??

@@flowlngdarknessnice. Hope you find the right place for your family.
What can you say about the drug problems in the city? Is it a safe place to live with Kids?

It makes me feel more comfortable with the idea of moving to there.

100% agree with you. Thanks for the comment.
@@GodsgraceishCostco is going in beside the mall. Best Buy, Michael’s are also in the same area.
@@Godsgraceish sure do - send me an email jt@jeffthibodeau.me and I'll send you over a few contacts.

For sure - drug use and homelessness seem to be an issue in all of our surrounding cities. 🤞🏼 better times are ahead.
Haha skid row.

💯 the day to day cost of living is lower is smaller cities like Brantford.

I go to Wilfrid Laurier 😊
How do you like it?
@@JeffThibodeauI quite like it 😊
i might go there
Plus the rooms are 1300 cad for no reason.. students like us are suffering.. what's your answer to that
$1300 for a room?? We can help you find a better place to stay. I just rented out a 5 bed house for $3k - that’s only $500/room.
@@JeffThibodeau how to I contact you. We can't share number in UA-cam cause you know why.. could you tell how I can contact you please

@@JeffThibodeau Noone has called me yet even after I messaged you and you responded to my message.. now you understand the situation..
Information about senior apartment
For sure. What type of care level are you asking about? There are options for independant living and facilities with different care levels.
What part of the city? If you mean just a rental I can help with that.

Can you tell us the Costco’s address
Costco is not built yet. It will be at the Lynden Park Mall property right near Hwy 403 and Gretzky Parkway when complete.
How do I reach Hamilton or kitchener
Are you looking for public transport options from Brantford to those cities?
Yes
You can take a GO bus to Hamilton.
