Typically, most basements are underground. So the phrase "basement apartment" is understood to be a separate living place other than the main floor of a Canadian home. So she was correct in identifying it as one.
Dont be fooled not all basements look like this!!!! I have spent about 4 years in 2 basements and it was horrible!!! No natural light no privacy you cannot adjust the AC or heater etc it was aweful
I'm writing this in November 2019 and have lived in Toronto for nearly 60 years - this is the most luxurious basement apt. I have ever seen - don't be fooled for all those people coming to Canada - the rents are at least $900 for a cold dark basement apt. - prices are out of control - do your research before coming so you won't be shocked - cheers
Yes, lots of better basement apartments but at what cost and was it in a safe location is my question - I don't want people who see this youtube video, thinking all people in Toronto live so nicely - the rents are a minimum of $1500 for a 1 bedroom - I know because I have been looking - cheers
@KV MCU Can't give you a price because there is such a range and it all depends on the location - maybe $1600 is my guess for a decent location for a one bedroom but you would really need to speak with a real estate agent who could help you out - cheers
Don’t be fooled. The majority of basements do not look like this. Besides there’s no sunlight and gets very cold in winter. Not to forget, you’re always under the watchful eye of the landlord.
Our landlord rents out the main floor and basement. We have lived in the basement for 13 years now. The tenant upstairs has been here even longer. It’s been fine. I wish our windows were big like this one in the video but we do have a nice big window in our front door that lets in a lot of light. We have electric baseboard heaters so it’s never cold in the winter. It can at times get quite hot in the summer without AC. No central air and the windows are too small for window units and the windows are too high up for portable ACs. So when the weather isn’t as hot in the summer we open the windows to cool the place and get fresh air and when we have a heatwave we close the windows and run fans. We run a dehumidifier during the summer to keep things from getting damp and we run a humidifier during winter as the heaters make things dry. We have made it work well for us.
I lived in a nice basement apartment for 15 years. I had two windows in each room (except kitchen). It wasn't an above ground basement apartment. It has a lot natural lighting and separate entrance. It's outside of Toronto. Unfortunately, my landlord wants the apartment for his son. I am moving into a smaller apartment with one large window in the bedroom and a small window in the living room its a nice place but all basement apartments are different. This was a lovely video but may be show a variety of basement apartments!
Wow!! This is the opposite of my basement apartment!! Mine is underground with hardly any light!! But probably cheaper than this lovely place!! This must be a newer home!
My two cents to landlord: if you have a mortgage, you declared to have a single family residence on the property. Bank can take back the mortgage immediately (no more than 35 days) if they find out. Tenant in basement, ask landlord to show their driver lic and property tax bill before giving your deposit. This is the only to protest yourself from the illegal lease
It is all about how much you are willing to spend within any given market. That is a fairly nice place. Noise from the traffic in the main floor can be an issue, specially if the folks upstairs have pets and kids. It is a great option, but beware of noise and issues not typically expected from regular apartments.
Any typical apartment could be noisy as well as condo. Depending on the neighbours you have above you in the building. They're many pros and cons of living in the basement but in some cases it could be better than living in old apartment building.
@@LifeInCanada Very true. I have had my share of good experiences in basement apartments, and I would definitely recommend it. Those old houses can definitely be worst than most basement apartments out there. Main floor traffic noise have typically been some kind of issue in my experience, but there is no doubt that that goes for any attached housing situation. I am currently living in the top floor of a building, and the construction on the rooftop is often an issue for me, so it is definitely a common problem.
This is a great basement you've found 👍. Rent is also quite reasonable if it is in GTA. Can you please confirm which area is this and how can I find similar layout basement? Would really appreciate
This basement apartment is the best I've seen thus far, the others I've been seeing either has the windows rather too small and high so that u have little or no light coming into the house or there are no windows at all.
problem with basements are 2 things 1- people upstairs controls the heater so in summer days they might feel the heat of the sun but down there we are freezing 2- ceiling tiles in those houses are paper thin , you can hear noises 247
@@LifeInCanada You are mistaken. This might be the lower level of a 3 storey row house condominium. A basement has a concrete foundation, is partially underground, with patio doors often leading to the back yard. That is the walkout part! This is how a language barrier can be harmful...
Don't be fooled majority of them are nothing like that they turn on the light so you can see the minute you move in the landlord will remove some of the light bulbs to keep you in the dark because electricity in this country energy in this country is very expensive
I am planning on moving to Toronto as an international student . I am trying to get information about how much rent do i need to get a bedroom furnished apartment and are basements a convenient place to stay in??
I've seen basements in toronto and it's rare to find a good basement that looks like this ... and for a good price... and by the looks of this video this seems like the outskirts of Toronto... maybe Scarborough or etobicoke? Not down town for sure... i saw the comments and it says 1200 $ month... you wont find something like this in Toronto down town at least... very very rare
This basement is in Richmond Hill. This basement was rented out a year or so ago for I believe 1,200 so now it is safe to say that cost would be 1,300 :)

And you forgot to tell how much is this one for a month? Ohh, this type of basement can be found in the new neighborhood. Toronto has lots of very old houses with very different basement apartments.
This one was rented for $1,300 per month. Yes there are lots of different kind of basements, sometimes even without the windows. This is the walk-out basement.
Not too long ago, basements went for under $1000, thanks to the shortage of rentals now the rents have reached so high. For a place that has just one tiny window, which barely lets any sunlight in, this is very overpriced.
Yes thats a potential price but not the norm, it must be a high end neighborhood, its renovated and has laundry machines. Without all those things mentioned, you could find as low as $900 for a one bedroom. Mine was in new neighborhood but on the far end of my city, I rented for $850 including all utilities, but that was a rarity and unheard of even 5 years ago when I rented that basement (in Toronto area, Canada)
This is walkout basement, very rare here in Canada, otherwise basements are very dark, humid n cold, but rent is cheaper than an apartment so newcomers mostly rent it in the beginning, after a year or so lots of people change it, usually get a good job, actually basement apartments are blessing for new people
You didn't the price of the basement pat And true you should show different types of basement apts as all of them aren't so nice You t.v. Showed the best way abt the worst of with no windows P!s show with prices and different areas of TORONTO,like any in Richmond hill

How is this a basement apartment? It is 'not' underground and it is sitting level with the house next door which is clearly 'above' ground.
Half of the apartment is underground and half is not. It is walk-out basement. You can google it.
Typically, most basements are underground. So the phrase "basement apartment" is understood to be a separate living place other than the main floor of a Canadian home. So she was correct in identifying it as one.
Clearly you don’t live in Canada because nobody who’s from here would ever ask this since every house has this
It is called a raised basement
OHHH PULEASE!----the majority of basement apartments,do NOT look anything like that, before you post such malarkey, do your research FIRST!
of course, they do what are you talking about? I mean having a basement in the first place is a luxury anyway.
Dont be fooled not all basements look like this!!!! I have spent about 4 years in 2 basements and it was horrible!!! No natural light no privacy you cannot adjust the AC or heater etc it was aweful

These are the new modenized houses i guess but real basement is hell

Majority of basements do not good light, an easy opening to garden. Basements are used for dumping goods not in much use.
Don’t be fooled. The majority of basements do not look like this. Besides there’s no sunlight and gets very cold in winter. Not to forget, you’re always under the watchful eye of the landlord.
Yes, it’s not perfect, but you pay much less money for the basement then for one bedroom condo in Toronto area.
@@LifeInCanada for a reason. I'm from Ottawa, live in the falls and have friends in Toronto. This is not how many basements look.
