I got a job at major software company located at Warden and Highway 7 in Markham. I've worked co-op terms there before and know it's a hassle to get there on transit so i'll probably be getting a car. Although i'll have a car i would like to live in a neighbourhood with easy public transit access to downtown, and where most of my day to day essentials could be taken care of without driving i.e. near by local restaurants, bank, gym, hairdresser etc. I'd also like it to be a reasonable commute to Markham, say an average of 35 minutes or less in 9am traffic.
Do any of you have any suggestions for what neighbourhoods I should check out for renting an a decent 1 bedroom apartment?
My first thought was somewhere in north york city centre, but something about NYCC seems a bit phoney to me, i guess it doesn't have the "charm" that i'm looking for. However it is close to the 401 and the subway and there are shops near by.
Another area that came to mind was yonge and eglinton, but i'm not sure what the commute would be like from there.
What about the leaside area? Or east york? Eastern downtown near the DVP? Anywhere near the DVP would probably work out since I would be doing the opposite commute of most people.
I would appreciate any suggestions you guys have, thanks.
