Does any one know how easy it is to find apartments -low cost- for students in Toronto?

Question

I want to go to George Brown College in Toronto, Ontario. The only thing im worried about is the cost of apartments. It's about 2 years away and im going to be living with my boyfriend, but i just want an idea of how much it cost's so i can save up.

Answer 1

im assuming if your living with your boyfriend, it will be a 1 bedroom?   downtown, the cheaper places can be anywhere from $850-$1300 per month.

Answer 2

It depends on the neighbourhood. The Annex, which is the area just south of George Brown, is a pretty expensive neighbourhood and you'll spend at least $700-800 for a bachelor apartment. 1-bedrooms will probably be at least $1000/month. Factor in utilities (hydro, phone, cable tv, internet) and you should expect to spend at least $1000-1500/month on your apartment. Outlying areas will be cheaper, but you will then have to factor in transportation costs (a monthly metropass is $109/month).
