Landing a sweet rental deal in Toronto’s competitive market is not the easiest thing to achieve, particularly if you’re searching for sizable properties and amenity-rich living environments. The good thing, however, is that the city is diverse – and we’re not just talking about its cultural scene or cuisine. The apartment market is vast and varied, catering to both high-end and lower-end renters, and there’s pretty much something for everyone here, from long-term residents to new birds just flying in.
