High quality video as always. You still encourage me to move to Windsor from Belgium as an Algerian through permanent residency. I am glad to become part of your beautiful community 😊
Time stamp at 5m and 17s that's on 24 block Tourangeau Rd. The house next door is where my high school sweet heart use to live. This is crazy because now I live in Regina Saskatchewan and was missing Windsor so I watched a random video about TH-cam and I see this 😅 awesome
You missed the best part. Detroit is just minutes away. Tigers, Lions, Pistons, Red Wings, concerts, theatres, great shopping etc. All this while living in a much lower cost area with much less crime.
I lived in Walkerville, 1500 block on Windermere, back in the late 80s. Never had any issues. Would like to retire in the Windsor area, maybe Amherstburg. Are the winters still as mild as they were? Getting tired of winters here in the Stratford area.
I live in the tough parts of the city and it's peaceful. If you're looking for problems around these parts, you'll find them, other than that, Windsor is a nice place to live. Though the only problem I see in the city lately are people from Toronto.
I actually like these videos but I’ve lived in Windsor for 35 years. It’s funny to me that he starts his video by naming good places that aren’t Windsor. Lasalle, Tecumseh etc are all towns outside Windsor. Basically it’s saying ya Toronto is great if u live in Mississauga. That’s a common problem in this area. People say Windsor is great u can go to Detroit. Your favourite thing about a place can’t be you can go or love somewhere else.
Do you like living in Windsor? What are some ups and downs? I'm coming to visit for the first time in October. Any places you'd suggest to visit or eat? Thanks
@@Godisfirst21 I'm personally planning to move, I've been here too long but ill keep it positive. Windsor is centrally located to a lot of places within a 5 hour drive (Chicago, Toronto, north michighan, Indiana, ohio, cedar point etc). It has good surrounding areas (lasalle, tecumseh, amherstburg) with nice parks and trails and a nice winery scene in the county. You get more bang for ur buck here real estate wise. Good pizza, little Italy on erie st, and some other nice spots scattered throughout. Good riverside walking area. Alot of people commute to the USA for work. Major sports teams in Detroit. Boating/fising scene. Cons: Windsor has a small population and the people here have a certain mentality so its hard for things to change or be trendy. The gathering they do have dont seem lively. People say windsor is on the rise and changing but it has yet to happen, the biggest change in 35 yrs is the explosion of international students and indian restaurants. I would stay away from downtown windsor its run down dirty and a lot of druggies walking around. Alot of Windsor proper isn't appealing to the eye but you can find spots. DT is also where the majority of the nightclubs are but nothing else. Most of the people in windsor find their fun going to Michigan. So it really depends what you want. If you want quick access to the states and a calm predictable area windsor/essex county may be it. But if you want a place that's lively, hip and full of opportunity windsor wont be it. I hope that helps.
@rjdman5588 Thank you for the taking the time to do that for me. I'm currently in Brantford and I've decided to first move and rent in Chatham and then explore Windsor. I understand why you want to move. It feels incredible just to THINK a new city will be better....even if we are aware of what all of Ontario has turned into. Also high population of Internatinal students and Indian restaurants here. Very difficult to find rentals. Move Darling. It's so wonderful to have that fresh start and new identity if you so choose.
@@Godisfirst21 thank you for the encouragement. I really do need a fresh start. I am familiar with those places as well. Windsor will definitely feel more like a city compared to Brantford and Chatham. I hope you like it. The people who like it here are happy. Good luck.
Really enjoy your videos, Ryan; hope to leave Toronto and move to Windsor one day. You should do a video specifically on people who have escaped Toronto and their experience living in Windsor.
@@tricolore31 It's not exactly a rule as in how low a property is listed vs expectations or fair market value but I understand what you mean. You have to keep in mind not every seller is willing to be realistic and usually an owner sees a higher value in his home then a potential buyer and takes a while for them to accept what the market sees as value for their home.
@@Godisfirst21visit ceasars casino! its along the river on riverside drive. also a lot of bars/ clubs/ restaurants nearby. i suggest the keg steakhouse also on the river front beautiful view if u sit outside. u can walk across the street or park at the river theres lots of parking, parks and u can walk along there on the long path.
You get used with it, but when coming from a better area like East Riverside to West you see the difference in the way people are maintaining there properties.
@notnotnownow9622 I'm the kind of person that wants to see all there is to see. The good, the bad, the pretty and the ugly. It's fun to explore a new city.
Anywhere in Windsor is generally safe. Only a few rough patches but still not the worst. As for Tecumseh mall area , east Windsor /Riverside is one of the better areas, quiet and clean. You'll be fine

Is there any way to keep the bad behaving people out ?

@@rjdman5588 we are both dreaming of a fresh start. That's the only way to make it a reality.
Great video as always!
What about the job prospects and facilities
LaSalle is great. Very low crime, lots of amenities, especially for people with preteen children.
Great video Go ahead
Can you please make a video about building a house or buing a ready home would be ideal in Windsor with various aspects please!
Really enjoy your videos, Ryan; hope to leave Toronto and move to Windsor one day. You should do a video specifically on people who have escaped Toronto and their experience living in Windsor.
Can I buy a house in Windsor for about 250 not in downtown?
No sorry. Any house for 250k likely won’t be one you want to live in
Does anyone know a good reliable site that will show me good rentals available within windsor and the surrounding area?
Rentals.ca, realtor.ca… although Facebook marketplace is probably used the most by landlords
Il moving in a little while close to tecumseh mall do you thing is a safety place to live ?
Depends exactly where, it's a big rental area on Meadowbrook and Sycamore and you have the Villages of Little River, in general it's safe.
@@notnotnownow9622 lauzon/tecumseh
Lol I went to 2420 Tourangeau, priced way below the usual in that Fontainebleau area , outside looked nice... Went inside and it's terrible.
What exactly is terrible inside?
@@notnotnownow9622 smells, super dark, upstairs is super small and dark, kitchen is tiny, and basement had flooding . You could smell the dampness
@@tricolore31 So it was priced right for the condition of the house?
@@notnotnownow9622 still too high. If it's 399 usually means you're gonna want 400-420 let's say, which was still overpriced
@@tricolore31 It's not exactly a rule as in how low a property is listed vs expectations or fair market value but I understand what you mean.

Thanks for the video , Is it possible to find something House decent in a decent area for a single person fro 300k ? Thanks
I happen to live in the "ghetto" part of Windsor, and it's not even that ghetto. Your analysis of Windsor is not that truthful.
Interesting. Thank you. I'll be visiting for the first time in October. Perhaps you could tell me the best spots to visit? Eat. Thanks

dont stop making these videos
is sandwich town really that bad? is there a lot of crime activity?
It's so and so, not exactly family oriented family and small crime around.
