Finding a place to live in Kitchener

[jeffreyab]

One of my lj friends, Jen the sphinxgirl, has just gotten a job in Kitchener and needs a place to stay.

She could use roomates or advice on how and where to look for a place.

You can email her directly and tell her "Jeff sent me"

She should ask northlad or much_ado. They both live in Kitchener. (I'm way the heck up at the top of Waterloo, which feels as if it's almost a different world from Kitchener.)

james_nicoll lives in Kitchener. He may be able to offer some advice.

I'm in Kitchener - as you know. What kind of place are we looking at? Bachelor apartment? Where in Kitchener?

I may not remember by the time I get home, so email me and I'll see if I can help you out a little.

hey. my job is in the south, near Strasburg and Bleams. I will be taking the bus to work. I don't know what the "good' and "bad" areas of town are, although I've been told downtown is kind of sketchy.

primarily looking for bachelor's apt, or really cheap 1 bdrm.

I've been reading The Record online and looking at ads.

I talked to a freind who used to live down there. She said that there's affordable places to live around there - but there are some streets off of Ottawa that are not so nice. The nice spots downtown are really expensive, and you don't want one that's not. Stick closer to the South end. There are some apartments right by Fairview Mall that are good and close to bus routes.

Hope that helps a little.

thanks! I'm probably going up this weekend to check out some places, good to know where to look.
