Hi everyone,
This is my first post. My wife and I are thinking of moving from Chicago to Toronto. I am originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., but lived in Chicago for the past 38 years.
We are both 60 but we really have the physical health of someone in the early 50s or even 40s. (I haven't been to a physician in 30 years and we do not use pharmaceuticals of any kind). We love to do things like play tennis, table tennis, dancing, walking along the lake here in Chicago, going to a coffee house and reading, listening to music, etc. She loves gardening and cooking.
We are considering moving to Toronto, since she is a Canadian citizen (originally from Hong Kong) and has family in Toronto (My family is in N.Y.C). We are both progressive, independent thinkers and enjoy being among friendly, multicultural friends.
We would initially rent but are looking to buy either a condo or townhouse and have a budget of about $1800 to rent and possible $450,000 to buy.
Will Toronto be a good place for us. Are there any neighborhoods that you can recommend to us?
Thank you very much for any ideas and suggestions!
