Scarborough
[Aka - "Scare Borough"]
1. The largest neighborhood of Toronto,
2. Older developments - aged housing,
3. Congested streets - parking headaches,
4. The only neighborhood which has 3 divisions (Stns) of Toronto Police, Why?
5. Last yr, the largest predawn operation fetched 84 criminals,
6. Quite a few gangs operate here (but ordinary folks aren't affected much),
7. The Bikers' Gang r a menace,
8. The western side is Closer to U of T (rest r afar to city-main),
9. Some pockets r good, especially the North - nearer to 401(Expressway),
10. Bay View location have multi-million$$$ homes - so is their rental,
11. Locations East - bordering Pickering r Ok, but very far from Downtown (2-3hrs commute),
12. Some areas have cheaper housing, but also the menace that comes thru it,
13. Locations closer to DVP r Ok - advisable for newcomers to reside,
14. Kennedy Street is a safe bet for residential purposes (1.5hrs to downtown),

Hi,
Thanks a lot Qorax. We will research other areas like York, Mississauga etc. As you rightly pointed out.... "At the end of the day, what we need a peaceful life".... so better get away from criminals and other maniacs!!!!
The very purpose of immigration to Canada is to get a good life than the existing one!! (not the one in Middle east... which is far far better than home town)... So we feel that we should take the right decision of the area where we are going to settle!!!
thanks again for the info and if we need more info, we will disturb you a little...
All the best...
