Agreed it's all about definitions. The "core" to me is the financial district and the main blocks around it. So maybe Spadina to Church - Front to Dundas. I would still argue this area is extremely safe for families - but again, expensive.zardoz said:Maybe they are thinking about the "Core" rather than the more extensive "downtown" area.
In my neighbourhood a 2 bedroom will probably run you $2,500+ per month (depending on how recently renovated).cooldoc80 said:thanks guys for your help .
dear syclla , how much should i expect for a 2 bedrom apartment in a nice neighborhood in downtown toronto ? i thought downtown is like full of drug addicts at night and dangerous ( like it was in chicago when i used to live there ) . my wife havent lived on her own before EVER ! and for sure she didnt live outside our country never.
thanks guys
I'm at Danforth and Broadview and, even here, they refer to this as "downtown". It's very subjective...scylla said:Agreed it's all about definitions.

I live at Bloor and Bathurst. For me this is not "downtown" (the financial district is "downtown"). But each time I say I don't live downtown people tell me I do.
So like you said - it's all about definitions.
My neightbourhood is like a small town.
Downtown Toronto (however you define it) is quite safe, and I think could be a great option for your wife. It would be very convenient for her, and she wouldn't need a car to tend to daily activities (shopping, gyms, coffee shops, etc). There is plenty of public transit available, and everything is in close proximity so finding her way around will not be daunting.cooldoc80 said:thanks guys for your help .

That's a nice area. One of my best friends lives in the Minto condo at Pottery road.zardoz said:I'm at Danforth and Broadview and, even here, they refer to this as "downtown". It's very subjective...
