@@sharex-dz8qi Old buildings are rent-controlled, larger units, typically offering 750 square feet for a one-bedroom instead of just 500 square feet. These buildings also feature thick walls and are generally more affordable. It's best to look for apartments that have been renovated in the style of a condo. Keep this tip to yourself, though! I found amazing prices in yonge and eglinton area and these apartments are not even listed online. Just go for a stroll and you will notice signs infront of the buildings. My friend moved into a 17th floor of a condo style renovated apartment right at yonge and eglinton for only $1900 plus utilities and its 800 sqft with washer and dryer.
Great video! For those seeking the same amenities, subway and streetcar access, walkability, and urban density, but with more character, affordability, and artistic flair, I highly recommend checking out these neighborhoods: Little Italy, West Queen West, Danforth (Greektown), Little Portugal, Yonge and Eglinton, the Junction area, St. Clair West, and Bloor West Village.
It is shocking to see little thought is put into the design and layout of Toronto Condos. The architects should be ashamed of themselves. Greed is the main factor. We are supposed to live in shoe boxes and be happy. I think they are all a bust.
If you want more space you gotta go older. Give up the bias for new. Anything built from 2000-2015 will have 3 bedroom units closer to 1000 SF. Just find a renovated unit.
Subscribed! We are traveling to Toronto next week and this is great info. I did have a question however. Is this CAD or USD? I know some Canadian UA-camrs also use USD to appeal to a broader audience so I'd like to be sure. Thank you!
Yeah, I know this is just a quick glimpse of what you were seeing but if you are going to show us what you want, please take the time to film with some stability.
Who designs this goofy shit? I seriously want to know what they were thinking? I guess they expect you to not actually live there, just a place to sleep
I find this video very informative and appreciate your thorough explanation. I plan to move to Toronto, Canada with my family, which includes 2 adults and a 7-year-old child. I am looking to rent a house, preferably a condo in a gated community with nearby schools, grocery stores, and public transport. My budget is within $2,000. As I will be new to the country, I don't have a specific area in mind, but I prefer not to live in a secluded area. It would be ideal if the school has a high rating and the neighborhood has a strong Indian community presence. Can you please help me with this?
Go for a basement in Mississauga, Brampton or Scarborough in case you bring family. You won't get condos for 2000. Mark my words, do not bring your kids and family before you yourself settle here.
Its sickening seeing how small the rooms were in the first apartment Edit: im only on the second apartment now and Im even more sickened with it than the first😂 i think im done with this video fuck toronto cant wait to move and escape this shithole
So much money for such a little space. Whoever are the homeowners of these condos are making BANK on these fools...I mean, tenants. Rent out a tiny ass space, sell people on the 'views' as if they don't go out and charge them thousands and thousands of dollars a month...I want to buy a condo and rent it out and be rich too. LOL.
![Renting vs Buying A Toronto Condo | Full Cost Breakdown [2024]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/w0a1zvaf7-o/mqdefault.jpg)
$4000! When I was buying a single family detached home 20 years ago my mortgage was $600.
crazy
Toronto is a city where new buildings really don't make sense to rent. You'd be better off in an older building
doesn't make sense to buy either 🥲
oh why is that?
@@kwoknationI agree 🥲

I'm going to go with Unit 7 because of the views and the basketball court... 🙂
Unit 7! 55 mercer just completed construction this year

It's called Chinada
Well said.
Thanks for posting. You’re helping me improve my English and practice listening.
Sometimes, I also like to test the shower to see if the water flow is normal.
yea! definitely tested the water pressure
3b2b in 821sq ft is insane to me....but that 1 corner bedroom would be so sick!!
Regent Park is not outside the downtown core. Not sure how you define "core"
😂 It's obvious he's lived in the city most of his life. I think he defines core as the feeling of being in a sardine can lol
Very true isn’t

Unit 7 has the best views, but Unit 6 has floor-to-ceiling windows, wraparound balcony, pillar all combining for sick aesthetics.
true
Thanks for posting! Interesting to see the options these days. Unit 7 was the best in my opinion, hope you guys have a smooth move!!
i liked apartments 7,8,9 the most!! def going to visit some of these
6:07 I'd assume the narrow gap is for half-storage of a bike. Weird though!
Looking forward the next video 🎉🎉🎉
coming real soon 👀
7 for sure!
Standard Toronto Shoe box.
unit 7 ❤
👀
I really like the shaky camera shot. It makes me really dizzy and get a high from it
i gotchu 😎
Insane
Toronto housing is depressing af
better than nyc!
unit 9, actually 7, the one with the basketball court
;)
They all suck! Every room is super small. Condo developers are evil incarnated.
true boycott all condos!
100% agree. i hope the market crashes.

thank you! and all the prices are in CAD (I do use USD for all my tech videos though haha)
That high pitched squeaky sound between each new clip hurts my cats ears🙃
oops tell your cat i’m sorry
just bear in mind that, there is no rent control in newer buildings.
true it sucks
Anyone know the Unit 7 Condo name? I’ll be looking to purchase in the future haha
it’s 55 Mercer!
@@kwoknation then it's not unit 7 because you wouldn't give the address so I'm back to saying unit 9 :)
when is full tour coming btw
soon! make sure you’re subbed :)
I liked unit 7 too.
:D
This is refreshing. Most of the Canada videos are titled "Why I'm leaving Canada"
haha yeah Toronto has its pros & cons but it’s still one of my favorite cities in the world
Your camera is very shaky, felt nauseous
LMFAOO ill try to fix that next time sorry
Yeah, I know this is just a quick glimpse of what you were seeing but if you are going to show us what you want, please take the time to film with some stability.
i love that korean song music
what dji cam r u using
I'm using the DJI mic but the Sony a7iv
Or even a house/townhouse
unit 7 and 9
I’m trying to find a 3000 or 2000 apartment
❤❤😊
All the rooms look so small!
yeah :( toronto problems
Uninspiring views ? I kind of like the high-rise views.
Did u copi the caption from Sheldon salmon hahaha😂
maybe......
I was going to say the same thing atleast he’s honest about it
Complaining about traffic in dt Toronto… yeah that’s how cities are. Walk or take transit, you don’t have to drive everywhere
Other parts of Toronto are much better though, it’s really area-dependent
What r u talking about. Regent park is the core. It’s not the very east end of the city. Please talk sense.
yea it’s at the very east end of downtown toronto / barely in the city
7 or 9
Living in a concrete box staring at other concrete boxes all around calling it a view..hilarious.
but hey its your money,not mine..good luck.
cn tower & lake!
Damn at these prices y'all should buy a house ? What's the big deal with the views?
Who designs this goofy shit? I seriously want to know what they were thinking? I guess they expect you to not actually live there, just a place to sleep
facts
Pay alot of money just to live in a shoebox

Man his commentary makes him sound so unlikable lmao idk how far this whole youtube career will take him based on his cancellable personality
