Cost of living (specific requirements)

[Immigrating]

So here are the requirements for the question - how much it costs to live in Canada a month? I'm looking for the cheapest I can get with these requirements:

A 50-100 square feet apartment for rent.
No sounds from the neighbors (babies, fights, sex, music, etc.).
Neighborhood where I wouldn't have a high chance of getting mugged or shot.
No preference for the city, but I prefer calmer areas.

Other questions:

Electricity costs per kilowatt.
Utilities average (water, trash takeout, etc.)
Internet prices or a title of a reliable IP (no extra tracking, fast speeds, no downtimes, etc.).
Gas prices.
Heating prices during the winter, and how many months usually people have to pay for heating (is cold).

P.S. If you have any questions, ask.

You post in the wrong forum.

Besides, you mentioned that you couldn't share a room with anyone in your previous posts. Have you thought of camping instead? Instead of driving, you can take public transport or cycling...

No sounds from the neighbours is a little too much to ask for if you live in an apartment. Most buildings are just built in the way that you will hear things. The best apartment I lived in was a small apartment building with only 6 apartments, just one couple above me and I would hear them fight and their kid cry and I know the neighbour upstairs heard them too. I never heard the guy who was on my floor. The worst apartment, I could hear people cough on the other side of the wall and there was always loud music coming from somewhere. If you don't want to live with neighbours noise, you will need a house.

Sorry about that.

Camping as in... Tents? No, I'm looking for walls.

Yea, I've thought of buying a bicycle instead of a car and paying for gas. In fact, I most likely will.

Well that's disappointing. Over here, most buildings are build with thick walls. Some, of course, aren't, those are extra-cheap and usually look like they were abandoned 20 years ago. But the rest has thick walls so you wouldn't hear your neighbors. I like privacy.

I used to live in a downtown Toronto loft where we heard no noise from the neighbours above, below or beside us. The only noise we would occasionally hear was noise from the common hall. This building used to be an office building before it was converted into a loft and for this reason I believe it had thicker walls and floors than average. We've since sold this loft and moved into a house in the city.

I agree it's rare to find an appartment where you can't hear your neighbours at all. Even the new / very nice condos don't have walls thick enough to prevent all noise.

The apartments I was talking about here, exception is loud music, but people don't usually do that as others complain and they can get evicted.

The cost depends entirely on where you are living, for popular cities like vancouver expect your rent for such a described dwelling to be about 1300 dollars per month (a good deal) and people generally heat their homes from about late september to late april. Costs vary depending on the utility company. Please specify what province you wish to live in
