Breaking news! I’m moving!
This decision wasn’t made because of my noisy neighbours. My lease is up in September, roomie is heading back home and Boy and I l-o-v-e each other enough to tolerate one another’s company in close quarters, as tested during our 8 day long trip out east, basically in isolation, and we didn’t beat each other up, threaten to break up or have superfights.
Searching for an apartment in Toronto is difficult, especially in September, when students are taking up all of the good places but not nearly as difficult as it is on Toronto Island. We started our search early and fortunately after only seeing 3 places we found the perfect place.
We had limited our search to just one Toronto neighbourhood: The Beach (or Beaches for those who don’t live there – superfight over which is the correct term), It’s Better in the Beach. The neighbourhood gives us the feeling of living in one of the cottages on the Island, far away from the downtown core, but in reality we’re so, so close to the hustle and bustle of the city… examine the photo above – CN Tower = hustle and bustle.
Our place is a cute 2 bedroom on the top floor of a triplex and totally 60s traditional. I’m in love with out adorable seafoam green tiled bathroom. The best thing about this place? Walk out the front door, look to the left, oh look at that a 2 minute walk to the beach. Look to the right, Queen St. is a 3 minute walk away – as is the cutest Startbucks in T.O. I’m also looking forward to hanging with my new neighbour and watching fabulous movies together at Fox Theatre.
So now that I’m a Beach resident, am I allowed to place a BEACH sticker on my car?
I can’t rightly say this now, but welcome to the ‘hood, lady. You’re more than allowed to place the sticker on your car once you move in, but I might smirk a little when I see it.
This is a big move! Living east of yonge is not something us westend folk often do. I must mark it some way, I figure the sticker is the simplest way to do it.
Well congratulations to you and happy moving! That place looks wicked and um– 60’s decor? Sign me up!
We are moving to a condo next month. We have a house now and we had to decide what to do with some of our stuff and if we want to downsize, so on and so forth. Ultimately, the answer was yes! Haha.
Good luck!
Pictures?!

Thanks, missy! August 16th is our move-in date and Boy just purchased a super fancy camera, so plenty of photos will be available.
Congrats on your place! Hope you’ll write about it soon times.
Can’t wait to see pics of your new place! I’m jealous! Enjoy T.O. for me until I get back
