Hi

I am relocating to Toronto very soon and would be working in Downtown. Can someone please let me know which areas are not safe in GTA. I have heard Allan Gardens and Regent Park area is not safe at night.


Thanks

Overall, I found Toronto to be a very safe city . But there are some small pockets where one feels funny , not unsafe, but you know that creepy feeling which tells you better get outta here .

Downtown is very vibrant till late at night all along Yonge street.
there are some intersections I'd watch out for . Avoid parliament/sherborne intersection. Avoid some areas in scarbogough and jane/finch intersection. that cant think of any other places .

I have lived in many cities in the past and when i came to Toronto was a little skeptical for a few months , but now having known the city and its suburbs , it truly is one fantastic city.

Thanks a bunch

I personaly found downtown to be ok. Returning from shows quite late at night I found quite a few other people also out and about. This is around the entertainment district. I am sure if you venture out more into deserted areas it would be a different story.

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.
