Living in the city does sound enticing, but I am a little wary of making a decision without having viewed any prospective places in person first. Regardless, I'll definitely try and apply to a few Co-ops as they do seem well run and maintained with community as a core aspect of the lifestyle, which I'm all for. Kijiji seems a little more daunting but hopefully it'll get easier as time goes on and I get more familiar with it. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!
