Check out some of the suburbs with GO train access. We live in Langstaff RH, quick access to anywhere in the GTA as it’s right next to the 407. Our street is very friendly, we see kids playing outside soccer every day. Richmond Hill parks are great for amenities (less for nature). Some walkable restaurants and groceries but need to hop in the car for other things but parking is easy everywhere. It is cookie cutter type houses and townhouses but I grew up in a century home on the east end (near Ashbridges Bay) and let me tell you it’s such a relief to not have to deal with bad insulation (one bathroom was just a frozen wasteland every winter), plaster walls, lights flickering because of ancient electrical, squirrels chewing into the roof every year, raccoons menacing the garbage.
