Transportation
Toronto will draw home buyers that use a variety of means of transportation. Owing to plenty of rapid transit stations on the Yonge - University Line, Scarborough Line, Sheppard Line and Bloor - Danforth Line, and over 250 nearby bus lines, commuting by public transit is easy in this city. This city is also reasonably well-suited for walking; meeting day-to-day needs is easy on foot. Although a few pleasant sectors for cycling exist, Toronto is not especially amenable to biking because there is a significant amount of slopes, and Toronto is home to a sometimes poor bicycling infrastructure.
Services
The closest supermarket in Toronto is usually only a short walk away. Furthermore, there is generally a restaurant or cafe just around the corner. It is also a reasonably short walk to a decent choice of clothing stores. As far as education is concerned, daycares and schools are convenient to walk to from anywhere in Toronto. Parents benefit from public and private schools at both the primary and secondary school level.
Character
People who prefer a relaxed ambience will enjoy Toronto. The noise levels in this city are low, as the streets are generally quite calm - although that is not the case closer to one of the 3 airports (YTZ, YYZ, YZD), one of the railway lines, Highway 404 or Highway 407. Finally, the greenery in this city is reasonably prominent as the tree canopy coverage for the majority of streets is fairly good. There are over 2100 green spaces close by for residents to discover, like Tommy Thompson Park and E.T. Seton Park, resulting in them being very easy to access from a large number of locations within Toronto.
