Toronto Overview

Toronto is a fantastic place to call home. With thousands of available rentals all over the city, find your perfect new place with ease!

What is the history of Toronto?

Long before it became a European city, Toronto was a First Nations location. Indigenous people lived in Toronto for more than 12 millennia, an unbroken reign that ended when the British began settling there in the late 1700s. In 1796 the town of York was recognized as the capital of what was then called Upper Canada. In 1834, York officially became Toronto. Over the following centuries, Toronto changed in response to a number of factors: war, immigration, globalization, and free trade. Today, it is home to many ethnic groups, hence its variety of multicultural neighborhoods.

How is the weather in Toronto?

Toronto has a reputation for being frigid, and for good reason. The city is cold or very cold for about six months of the year, with a spell of freezing weather in January and February. The city warms up between the months of April and October, getting fairly hot and muggy in the middle of summer. For those who enjoy changing seasons, bright spring flowers, and fall leaves, Toronto is a good choice.

How do I get around town?

In tune with its image as a highly modernized city, Toronto has a well-greased public transportation system. Within the city, you can get around on subways, streetcars, and buses. If you need to move beyond its borders without a car, you can use GO Transit, a network of trains and buses connecting Toronto with the greater metropolitan area and beyond. There are two airports: Toronto Pearson International Airport and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. If you dont have a car, dont worry. Youll be able to get around just fine using public transportation and foot power.

What is the Toronto commute like?

Have a car? There are a few quick ways to get around, whether youre going on a getaway or facing a daily commute. Highway 401 is the main East-West artery, while Don Valley Parkway is the main North-South highway. Gardiner Expressway cuts through the city, giving folks quick access to a wide variety of well-trafficked locations. Unfortunately, Toronto is subject to the same traffic that all big cities are, and its getting worse. If youre going to have a car, prepare to spend some time sitting in it.

What are the local media outlets?

Torontos main newspapers are the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, the National Post, and the Toronto Sun. It has a number of television channels that offer news and current events, including CP24, CBC, CTV, and more. Radio stations include CJCL (sports), CFTR (news), and CKFM (top 40).
