Public Transit Info

A big factor for many people these days is how accessible a given area is transportation wise, especially regarding how close their how is to work.  A neighborhood-focused Toronto real estate professional has detailed information on the public transportation available in the area.  He has given the name and number for each of the streetcars operating in the neighborhood, where they go, and how often they run.  He also notes which subway stops the buses and streetcars connect with.  He provides links to Toronto’s main public transportation companies so people can get more detailed information such as schedules and start/stop times.  He even provides a link to cycling routes in the area.  Cycling, bus, streetcar or subway routes would be valuable to anyone who doesn’t have a car and commutes to work.

Some areas now have rent-by-the-hour cars available, so if your area has them, it’s a good idea to let people know about the companies offering them, how to sign up, and the spots the cars are available.  These cars can be a great alternative to taxi cabs when you need to get somewhere fast or need a car for some reason for only a few hours (eg. buying new furniture).

Crime

The level of crime in an area can be a very important consideration for many people, especially single women.  Focus on the types of crime that impact people directly such as the number of break and enter robberies in homes in the past year.  Indicate whether there is a neighborhood watch program in the area and how effective it is.

Community Happenings

Prospective residents will want to know what kinds of things are happening in the area.  When the kids are off school in the summer, parents want to keep them occupied and often outside the house.  So they’ll want to know if there are public recreation facilities in the area like swimming pools, recreation centres, baseball diamonds, summer camps and soccer fields.
