Imagine... You could be home already

Have you noticed that the traffic is backed up in both directions every morning. You could be home already if you lived along this strip

You keep passing this high density Hi Rise cluster that encompasses Humber Bay Shore and starts with Park Lake Residence on the south and the Windermere by the Lake and NXT on the north.

Which are the most noticeable? Of course the Twin sisters and Toronto Landmarks that are the Palace Place and Palace Pier towers along the banks of the Humber River.

Living here along the Lake does have benefits; access to public transit, local shops and community in Bloor West and Roncesvalles Village, opportunities for open air parks along the Martin Goodman Trail.

The bigger question we need to ask ourselves is about ECO sustainability. How far and how long are you willing to commute to feel that you have escaped the city prices. Gasoline today was $1.25 per liter, Taxes and Insurance have steadily increased while coverages have been reduced, Hydro and energy costs are also on the rise. Is there a value that you place on time that is consumed in your daily commute?

Would you like to talk about alternatives? Add a comment, Speak your Mind or just call and lets go shopping for something that suits your lifestyle now.

I agree that living closer to the city would be nicer. Some people are cut out for living in the city, and others need to live a little ways away to get more space. I am an insurance broker and I feel that it is to my advantage to live in the city because it is a short bike ride or a brisk walk away from where I work. That way I save money and time.
