Toronto housing details

[atforum]

Okay I thought I did better start a new thread rather than hijack the other thread.

So how is housing classified in Toronto. I checked viewit.ca and they seem to have different types of housing compared to montreal. What is the difference between bachelor and 1 bedroom apt?? Does 1 bedroom apt have additional room or something?? Also what is this with sharing rooms with a common washroom and kitchen. HOw many people are usually in those houses Should suck waiting for hours going to the washroom

Bachelor means no bedroom. esentially your living room is your bedroom.

1 bedroom is exactly that. It has 1 bedroom and a separate living room.

Many people, especially students rent a house that has 3 or more rooms. The house only has 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen so if there are 3 people renting 3 rooms, they all have to share the bathroom and kitchen.

If you can find the right roomates, it's can be pretty fun. My friend shared a house with 3 other people and all of then had good hook ups to different clubs and stuff in town.

So bachelors apt == studio apt in montreal
1 bedroom = 3.5 apt in montreal

That is less misleading. I was so confused with the .5 in Montreal when I first came

yes:

So bachelors apt == studio apt

Though:

1 Bedroom = 1 Bedroom apt/condo

what is a 3.5 apt?

3.5 has a hall, bedroom, kitchen and washroom. The .5 is actually 1/2 and it refers to an unclosed room (that is what someone told me). So it should actually refer to the kitchen.

Ahh interesting..good to know.

So yes, a 1 bedroom apt would be a 3.5

Watch out though, some people advertise a 1 bedroom but what they really mean is 1 bedroom rented in a 3 bedroom place.
