So it turns out I'm moving to the GTA at the end of the month, girl friend got hired by a big firm and I'm tagging along. None of us know much about the city, and I'm sure there's another thread asking the same questions somewhere, but it seems easier to simply re-ask here.

Basically I'm looking to find out things like:

Good safe areas with generally cheap rent? (Out side of the city is fine, we can always use transit to commute.)

How reliable/useful is the gotrain system?

Areas to generally avoid?

Is it worth it to find a place near the subway?

Answers are very appreciated!
