myhood.ca – Apartment Shopping in Toronto

Seeing as how the b5media HQ is in Toronto, it’s about time we featured a website for Toronto folks don’t you think? The myhood.ca website is an online resource for people fighting through the apartment housing market in one of Canada’s most beautiful cities, Toronto! Might also come in handy for b5media anyway with the way we’re growing our corporate support team in the area. I’m sure somebody will be looking for apartments soon.
Jeff let me know about the site and had this quick synopsis to let me know what it was all about:
That’s where myhood.ca comes in. We give our viewers the ability to search by neighbourhood (Toronto is the city of neighbourhoods – you should be able to search by them), combine rental listings from online classifieds with property managers (think “one stop shop”) and match them with the very useful apartment reviews (over 800) written by current and past tenants – all on an interactive Google map.
The site let’s you quickly search for an apartment of your own, or even find other people that are looking for roommates in your area as well. This is really the sort of thing that would be perfect in many places in addition to Toronto. I’d say this kind of service would be huge in college towns, I know Craig’s List is popular for that as well.
The user interface on the site is really smooth too. As Jeff said, everything is laid out on an easy to use and navigate Google map. Very nice. You’ve also got some of the defacto types of information on the site as well like reviews and tips for moving and finding the right place for your situation.
If you’re in the area and in need of finding a great apartment and/or roommate, Uncover the Internet has done the first big step for you. We’ve pointed you in the right direction for success.

Okay, have to mention this, was just browsing through the site and one of the apartment buildings that came up had the street address of “666 Spadina Avenue”. Um, yeah, not going to live there.
666 Spadina Avenue is great real estate!
I tried to leave a review about 1350 Danforth rd but after three attempts I gave up. Seems like only positive reviews can be posted here. Looks like the slum lords got another site to glorify their buildings here in Scarborough
201 Van Horne Ave North York Appartment building .. bit cheep for North York ON price but you will be end up cockroachers scrolling all over your body.. so don’t go there..
What a great idea this is. Now if I had a site in my hometown that was like this. I am in the need for a houston apartment
