Smaller household smaller home Canadian households are definitely shrinking, according to Stats Canada. Seven decades ago the average household consisted of 4.3 people, by 2011, the average size had dropped to 2.5 people per household, albeit, there’s plenty more of us to house. While the majority of Canadian homes built over the last century were created to support larger households, traditionally comprised of two parents with children, nowadays one or two people make up the majority of households, which is why apartment and condo living, in urban areas in particular, has become

increasingly popular. The impact of smaller families on the Canadian housing market has been significant, spurring a dramatic change. The introduction of more rental properties and housing options of all shapes and sizes is effectively servicing smaller households who need affordable options. While larger dwellings are still a need, the next time you see another crane in the air keep this new demographic dynamic in mind. While Canada continues to grow, new housing needs will continue to reshape the cities and homes we live in.

The making of a renter

+ get social

Last year, a close friend moved to New York City for her dream job. She’d owned her own home here for over a decade, and she had been quite worried about the prospect of having to rent. Everyone in NYC rents. Of course, she called me. She had a love-hate relationship with her home, she loved doing the decor, but she hated that she was always in the middle of a project. She loved the idea of someone else taking care of any problems, but she was also concerned about what kind of control she’d have over her environment if she lived in a rental that belonged to

someone else. I guess when you own for a long period, you start to forget how easy and comfortable renting can be. I answered all of her questions. Since moving, she’s become the happiest renter I’ve ever known. The ease, the amenities, the improved cash flow – I doubt she’s every going to buy real estate again – even if she returns from NYC. It’s nice to hear people appreciating the lifestyle. Enjoy this issue of Renters Guide, and check us out online at YPNextHome.ca, and get ready to rent your new home!

Leap year What that means for renters By Elisa Krovblit

IT’S 2016, AND YOU KNOW what that means? Leap year! It means you get an extra day of rent for the same price. Think about it – if you were staying at a hotel and you booked the entire month of February, they’d charge you for 29 nights, but your landlord can only charge you one month’s rent, even though this year there is one more day than usual. One free day! Getting the most for your money is important to most people, and while a free day during a leap year gives you a little bonus, there are many other ways that renters can really make their money matter and get the most bang for their rental buck – even when it’s not a leap year. Most renters have amenities. These are things like a gym, squash and tennis courts, pool, sauna/steam room, business centre, party room, library, lounge, lobby, concierge, screening room, manicured grounds and superintendent. It’s great that you have them, but are you using them? While you may not be paying per use, what you’re paying in rent includes access to these amenities. If you’re not using them then you’re spending money on something you don’t need. Your building provides you with all of these great additions to your lifestyle, and it’s to your advantage to enjoy them. Do you have a gym membership and a fitness centre at your disposal? Think about whether you really need to pay for what you’ve already got at home. Don’t work out? Why not push yourself, you’ll be getting more for your money – and doing your body good, too. It’s win-win.

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

Hard day? Treat yourself to a little spa pampering. Grab a bottle of water and go for a long steam. Top it off with a facial treatment in your apartment and just relax your cares away. A pool? That’s a party waiting to happen. Whether it’s for your kid’s birthday or your own entertainment, invite a few people over, whip up a few nibbles and have a splash. The party room is ideal – do you know how much it costs to rent out a venue in this city? And the venue doesn’t just charge you for space, there’s a premium on their catering and alcohol service. While your building’s management may collect a cleaning fee, you’ll find the fee very reasonable in comparison. Whether it’s a special occasion, a big family holiday gathering or a New Year’s Eve party, most have catering kitchens and large spaces so you can call in the caterers and the DJ, and just kick up your heels. If you work from home, you may be able to save yourself the expense of an office space if you live in a building with a business centre and meeting room. You can have professional meetings and presentations without ever having the client step foot in your personal space. It adds a layer of professionalism without any added expense. The screening room is a really cool spot. Reserve it for a big game, the playoffs, host the Oscars on the big screen! Or just sneak down on your own and enjoy your favourite movie in style. These spaces are also great if you just feel like getting out of your apartment. You don’t have to worry about getting dressed up or give transportation a second thought. So while you enjoy your extra leap year day in 2016, think of the other 365 days that you could be maxing out the bang for your rental buck. Get out and enjoy your rental community!

Neighbourhood Profile

Old East London A mindful type of lifestyle

MORE PHOTOS AND STATS ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/old-eastlondon

ONCE A GRITTY semi-industrial neighbourhood, London’s Old East Village (OEV) has undergone a physical and cultural transformation in recent years, making it an increasingly attractive destination for renters. The area is bordered by Oxford Street to the north, Highbury Ave. to the east, Adelaide in the west, and extending as far south as the rail lines just below Bridges Street. Community-minded people who love to give back, the typical OEV resident enjoys a low-carbonfootprint lifestyle. You’ll see people walking and biking everywhere here, and a local parents’ group even

organizes a “Walking School Bus” in the neighbourhood from September through June, for kids to travel to class together on foot. There’s an annual Block Party summer street festival on Dufferin Ave that attracts huge numbers of locals and visitors. Newer housing developments in overlapping Carling offer a taste of suburbia, the old reflects a rebranding of its working-class roots. Vintage shops and independent cafes proliferate in the area. The newly gentrified main drag along Dundas street still retains its local colour and history, with the venerable “Reeg” (St. Regis Tavern).

Old East Villagers are an eclectic bunch, and one might wonder how such a diverse population of cool cats, retirees, and regular working class folk get along. The answer would appear to be tremendously well, given the number of community members who dedicate their time to enhancing the lives of their neighbours through the volunteer-run Community Association and Business Improvement Area. You’ll find a pretty wide array of amenities on offer. McMahen Park is home to the Carling Heights Optimist Community Centre, a multipurpose facility. When it comes to entertainment, OEV can’t be beat. Aeolian Hall is home to the London Youth Symphony and London Community Orchestra. The Palace Theatre, The London Clay Art Centre and more offer variety. London Transit operates several routes along major streets in the area, including Quebec, Dundas, York/Florence, Oxford and Adelaide. There’s a good network of bike paths for cyclists, and a plan to create more bike lanes. It’s very pedestrian friendly, probably one of the best places to live in London if you don’t own a car. Commuters have easy access to the rest of the city. There are still stretches of lessthan-friendly-seeming industrial sites: some in use, some long forgotten. While much of Dundas Street has been noticeably cleaned up, it’s still an area where petty crimes and street hassles can’t be ruled out. But it’s nothing a seasoned city type wouldn’t expect, and by other cities’ standards, pretty tame.

Anne Marshall has lived in New York City, Glasgow (Scotland), Greensboro (NC), Toronto, and somehow ended up back in the fabulous small city of Guelph, where she grew up. She loves nothing more than exploring new areas, peering into other people’s apartments, houses and yards.
