Why You Should Consider Moving to Toronto

01.04.2021 by Girl on Fire // Leave a Comment

Toronto is Canada’s largest city by far, with a population of nearly 6.2 million. Nearly half the people here were born outside of the country – in fact, Toronto has the second-highest percentage of foreign-born residents of all cities in the world after only Miami. But there is no one dominant nationality or culture, making it one of the most diverse places on the planet. 

The bottom line is, if you do make the move, you certainly won’t be alone, but there are many other reasons to take a look at those homes for sale in Toronto.

One of the Best Food and Drink Scenes on the Continent

Thanks to its diversity, Toronto offers a wide range of world-class restaurants and is often ranked among or at the top of the best food scenes in North America. You’ll not only find the usual Canadian mix of English and French, but cuisine from across the globe, from Korean, Thai, and Indian to the Caribbean, Italian, Peruvian, and Moroccan – pretty much anything you can crave is here. 

There are bars, pubs, and clubs for everyone, too, from casual bars serving a perfect pint of Guinness to chic cocktail lounges. 

Outstanding Education 

If you’re looking to further your education, you’ll have access to what’s consistently ranked as Canada’s No. 1 university and frequently ranked among the world’s best, the University of Toronto. It offers some 700 undergraduate programs and over 200 masters’ and doctoral programs, with three campuses: Scarborough, Mississauga, and St. George. 

It’s Safe 

While common sense is required no matter where you go in any city around the world, Toronto is one of the safest places to be. In 2019, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) Safe Cities Index ranked it the 6th safest out of 50 cities.

Strong Economy and Job Opportunities

The largest contributor to Canada’s economy and an important economic hub on a global scale, Toronto has a strong economy and lots of job opportunities with many key industries, such as media, finance, and technology. The tech scene is booming, and the Big Five banks of Canada all have headquarters here. It’s a major city for global business and finance, not to mention a great place for entrepreneurs as one of the top places for startups.

It’s Great for Sports Fans

If you like sports, you’re going to have lots of options for cheering on the home team, the National Hockey League’s Toronto Maple Leafs are 13-time Stanley Cup winners, playing at Scotiabank Arena downtown. The stadium also hosts basketball’s Toronto Raptors, while baseball fans can watch the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, also downtown. 

The Green Space

Toronto is home to more than 1,600 named parks and over 124 miles of trails for hiking and biking, providing lots of fabulous green space to balance out the concrete and condo buildings. It’s even possible to camp right in the city at Rouge National Urban Park.

Music Every Night of the Week

For those who enjoy catching live music, you’ll find something every night of the week. There’s always somewhere to go and hear a variety of genres, from local shows in intimate spaces to big-name acts outdoors at Molson Canadian Amphitheatre.
