OT question for Mississauga folks

hey all!

So my son just got a job in Milton!!!! He is so excited!!!

I am sad and excited because he has been gone for 2 years at college in North Bay, he only came back in May and now he is moving out to go and start on his career. I feel a bit old and will miss him terribly....

BUT....more importantly, this is a good thing for him. I know he will be great....IF HE CAN FIND A PLACE TO LIVE!!!

He starts on the 10th!! I dont know the area at all! He is looking for a bachelor or 1 bedroom, or a room mate....he can afford up to about $700 a month give or take.

Is there anyone in the area who might be able to help me out with locations to look for, have a friend or know someone looking for a roomate...etc?

Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks so much!!!
(and maybe when I go visit him, I can drop in on one of your Mississauga coffee nights!!!)

does he drive?  If he does I would suggest living further west then milton for cost reasons...like perhaps Burlington... there are adds on kijiji/ craigslist, viewit.ca.  He should be able to get rent for $700.

Did he go to ni******g?  Thats where I went!  :)

he went to Canadore :)

Yes he does drive, but would prefer not to drive too far. He has my old jeep which costs an arm and a leg in gas!! He also has a motorcycle.

I have found quite a few places for around $700 in Milton, 7 minutes away from where he'll be working. Just dont really know what the area is like...yanno??

Mississauga, Milton, Oakville, Burlington...they are all really nice.  I live in Mississauga now but would move to any of those areas without any hesitation....

Rest assured they are good cities!

Milton is a wonderful place to live. If he can live right in Milton, that's what I'd do. There really isn't a "bad side" of Milton - kinda makes me laugh trying to think of one. LOL

I grew up in Milton and live just outside of Milton.  It is true, there really is no real bad parts in Milton.  With the new home development in Milton, I'm sure there are basement apartments and the older area have rental apartments in buildings.

He has found a room mate who currently lives in Burlington and wants to move to Milton. She is going to do some of the legwork for him until he gets up there next week.....I found her mother on kijiji looking for a room mate for her daughter!! How funny is that?? LOL!

Found a very nice looking 2bdr condo on craigslist...I think she is going to view it this week.

Thanks so much to anyone who posted. I appreciate it!

So...I will probably be in Mississauga/Milton next weekend. Anyone wanna go for coffee?? lol
I may need a sanity break trying to move my son....again :'(
*sniff*
