I live right on Rutherford and Weston rd. (the new part of Woodbridge).
As for traffic it does get bad only summer times on Fridays. Usually itâs not so bad. I work on Yonge and Bloor and usually take me 35-45 min to get to work around 8-9 am. Going home will take about 1hr. obviously longer on Fridays during summer (cottage) times.
Housing is booming like crazy in Woodbridge especially north of Major Mac these days, there are lots of new places that go for 350K to 450K. As you said itâs really expensive but itâs manageable with two incomes. We make near 100K combined as well and itâs good. We are also getting married this year so lot of money goes towards the wedding plans.
One thing you should consider is the fact real state market will eventually go down. I'm currently taking real state courses to become a real state agent. Just make sure you buy a place that has potential for development. So when the market crashes at least your property value will stay the same because of the booming in your area.
We live in the area that is about 4yrs old and we bought our place last year. Itâs already gone up by about 50K since last year and its all because of Vaughan Mills and all the other little plazas that are being built around that neighborhood.
Over all I love where I live and itâs a very quite and safe place to raise kids and crap like that. Where else is TO would you be safe walking around 2 am and feel safe?
