A few of quick recommendations for those who know they want to live in North York, Ontario, but don’t know where:

Students: if you go to York University, then York University Heights is your hood. However, if you go to school downtown, then you may want to live close to the subway around Yonge & Sheppard.

Young Professionals: The most trendy hood for young professionals living in North York is the Willowdale area, specifically Yonge & Sheppard. In this area, you're close to a subway station, plus lots of shopping, restaurants, bars and movie theatres.

Families: There are many family neighbourhoods throughout North York, however they vary from very high end neighbourhoods like York Mills, Bayview Village and Dublin Heights, to well known middle income neighbourhoods like Don Mills, Victoria Park Village and Emery, to lower income areas  filled with many new immigrants including Jane and Finch, Yorkdale and Don Valley Village.

Emergency! I need a rental stat! So you need a hood with loads of rental options, close to public transit, grocery store, banks, liquor/beer store restaurants and shops. Check out Don Mills.
