Neighbourhoods to avoid for Toronto apartment searching?

Question

Please list all the neighbourhoods in Toronto that I should avoid such as the Chalkfarm neighbourhood on Jane and Wilson, Black Creek.... etc... ?

I am mainly looking at the area near Don Mills. If you could also give me information on that area and its surrounding areas, I'd be much obliged!

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

jane street north

Answer 2

It seems like you know the city pretty well.  Sticking with the Don Mills area, and you have not talked about your price range, but I am going to assume at around $1000.00 for a one bedroom to rent.

Around Thorncliff park is a good bet

a lot of buildings around Fairview Mall.

I would stay around this area, would not go lower than Lawrence Ave.

Unless you are willing to go to around

Younge & Eglinton

I would not go toward Victoria Park

Answer 3

Best Bet is that if the price is less than a thousand there something wrong. Most notorious gang infested neighbourhoods are Jane and Finch ( though i feel that its not that bad), malvern, kingston-galloway, midland and lawerence, rexdale and chester le area. It's best that you do some research first in the area you are thinking of staying
