meggo Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 while i do like centretown a lot, we moved because it was getting too crimey. my old car kept getting broken into, and then my new car got the mirrors ripped off. and yes it is pretty safe like AD said, but someone did get murdered almost in front of our place [gilmour & kent]. as a girl i think it's a little different, too. now we're in hintonburg. our nextdoor neighbour is a crack addict and that place on spadina that got busted is pretty much right behind our place. hah. but NO car break ins!! and we definitely don't have the human cracky traffic that we had on gilmour.

rubberdinghy Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Herongate scares the hell out of me.That and just up the road on Heatherington.I was driving the 8/112 the last couple of days and was worried I might get shot.One upside. Apparently, Herongate mall has the largest dollar store in Eastern Ontario/Western Quebec. Edited March 7, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberdinghy Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Good lord...I was talking to this woman yesterday and she was sooooooooooooo excited to move into Herongate/Sandalwood. I don't know why anyone would want to live in one of those "projects."Robert Campeau was a smart man (until he blew it all in the late 80's), but christ, he built some terrible communities in this city.

jessmyles Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Just wanted to add another resource to this thread that helped me find a great place: rentals.ca the map view is super helpful, no scams or spam posts like kijiji, and you can set your price range & the number of beds/baths your looking for!
