Here's What A $1K Apartment Rental Looks Like In Different Ontario Cities

It's all about location.
Lead Writer, Travel

When it comes to places to live, location can make a big difference in the cost.

These Ontario $1K apartments are all priced the same, but what you get for your money varies in every city.

In Toronto, where prices are notoriously high, the apartment is unsurprisingly small, while places like Kingston offer a more spacious living area.

If you're thinking of moving into a new apartment, you might consider moving to a new city too.
