Ang lungsod ng Toronto ay may humigit-kumulang 140 unique neighborhoods. If you’re considering relocating to Toronto, how do you find the neighborhood that’s right for you?

If you’re just visiting, start with Tourism Toronto’s map of popular tourist neighborhoods. It’s interactive, so you can click on the map and get a short description of particular communities.

If you’re house-hunting in earnest, kahit na, you’ll want more detail. That’s when the city’s map-based neighborhood index becomes a useful resource. Maaari kang makakuha ng demographic profiles, including stats on income, ethnicity, edad, and types of housing, para sa bawat 140 distrito.

Another good source of information is the Toronto Real Estate Board. Ang kanilang neighborhood profiles take a more historical perspective, and the quaint line drawings of each area’s predominant housing type give you a feel for the community in a way that Google maps can’t.
