so....what's The Annex like as a place to live?
I got a job here (yay!) and I'm moving to Toronto in September. For at least a year.
-i just saw one of those stories is about an Annex shooting victim. (!!) but still......where do you guys reckon is a good place to settle? i wanna be cycling to work too...
oh yeah - and what's the Toronto version of Daft? is viewit.ca the best or are there better sites out there?
The Annex is one of the nicest and safest neighbourhoods in Toronto. It is north of Bloor between Spadina and Bathurst, maybe a bit further west so it is close to everything and you can cycle anywhere from there. Loads of cafe's, theatre's, galleries bars etc.
It is expensive for what you get though and there is loads of competition for the good apartments. Also it is were all the U of T students live during term time, frat houses etc etc...but if you are okay with that or you live a bit away from the campus it should be fine.

The above are best for apartments
