P-51,Jan 9 2006, 01: Wrote:So, I'm being asked to go to TO for a job interview with a company with plants in Woodbridge and Concorde.

What's this area like up there?  How congested?  How crazy is the real estate?  Any new developments being built were you could get a new house?

I see it's right near the 400 and 407, so easy access to "cottage country", but the 400 must be a zoo on weekends?  I took the 407 through TO on Dec 23rd at 4:00, and it was pretty empty.  I'm surprised, from the 407 it looks like all farmland up there.  Is that true?

I moved to Woodbridge just under 21 years ago. I was pretty much the first person in my subdivision. Highway 7 was a dirt road and Wonderland was just freshly built. Now it's as cluttered as Manhattan. Just kidding, it only gets really busy up here (streets not including highway) around rush hour and all day on the days before Christmas when shopping has to be done. Highway 400 North gets busy at Langstaff which is my exit so I never get stuck in the cottage country traffic. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. Everyone thinks that it's more congested than it is because some people only come through Woodbridge on the way up North and it's where they start to get stuck in traffic.

There are a bunch of new developments in the area not far from where I live in every direction. If you were to buy a used house on my street you're looking anywhere between $400,000 - $600,000 and they aren't really that big. my house is about 2700 sq-ft, 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom, double garage, finished basement. It suits us fine but there are gigantic houses not too far from me. About 2 minutes drive will bring you to "The National" Golf course (supposedly the best in Canada).

What will you like best about Woodbridge is the cars you will see. In the last summer I have seen the following cars in my area:

- 2 Ferrari Enzos, 1 of 6 Ferrari 575 Superamericas in Canada, Every other Ferrari available, Lambo Murcielagos, Gallardos, and Diablos, Bentley Continental Gt's, Porsche Carrera GT, and every other supercar available to North America. Porsche's and BMW's are as abundant as Civics.

If you have any other questions let me know and I'll answer them for you!
