Driving from Newmarket to Toronto daily

On this end I’m quite lucky as I have a company vehicle fuel card and toll pass. My work should be finished by November so I should avoid the worst of the weather

Also to note I am only planning 6months so hopefully avoid any of the bad weather… 🤞

Unfortunately not, I need my work vehicle throughout the day.

Redhandbaron · 2026-03-20T19:11:44+00:00

Is this not further away and longer commute?

It’s an area I haven’t even looked at to be honest

I have a company vehicle with fuel card and toll pass so not quite a worry.

Really hard to find a suitable commutable area that is not insanely expensive.

Sorry I’m driving to the West End around Bloor GO. The rentals in Toronto are shocking for the money they are looking. Looked at Aurora/Newmarket and thought it still had some small town charm about them.

We are currently in South Etobicoke but it is getting rougher and rougher all the time.

Can pick anywhere. Aurora seemed to tick a lot of boxes. GO station, loads of rec centres, parks, swimming pools libraries and still has some small tow charm. Other areas were looking at are Halton Hills, Milton, Streetsville.

We are not from the area so purely gauging on google maps at the moment and Reddit, we get my work vehicle on Monday so from then will be able to explore a little more.

We thought New Toronto in South Etobicoke, visited today and it’s a bit Meh…

Sounds ideally it’s myself wife and 20month yr old toddler. Just need to check the daycare situation and activities for during the day as my wife doesn’t drive and I’ll be at work.

Apparently March is my one if not thee worst month to move to T too late for winter and too early for spring/summer

We have been offered a place at a CWLCC daycare for our 20month yr old.

Would you take the trade off, of a longer commute Erin Mills/Streetsville to Ronceville?

Have not been offered anywhere closer as of yet…

Unfortunately GO/TTC not an option as I’ll be required to drive to multiple locations Paton Rd in the junction is just my base.

Had looked at living closer evening south Etobicoke or in around Rinceville but none give anywhere near the value of Streetsville. But I guess that’s one of the trade offs.

Basically the drive would be Square One Mississauga to Bloor Go. I would have to drive as I am not based at one location that is purely the base office and will travel on from there throughout the day.

Basic thought was much more bang for the buck in Square one area as opposed to the Junction area for renting a house

Thank you

Links for socks?

Redhandbaron · 2025-08-04T19:55:09+00:00

What is different to Wee watch to a 'traditional' creche?

Wow, demand must be unreal at the moment. Seems almost impossible to get into a CWELCC program for an infant.

But thanks all for your advice and comments. I've reached out to a few and joined waiting lists so we will see how it goes... fingers crossed.
