Moving to Halifax

[J_Murphy]

Hello Everyone,

So I am considering a move to Halifax. I won't get into all the reasons, but I am looking for some information on neighbourhoods and prices. Ideally, I would like a 3 bedroom house as I would be moving with my spouse and young daughter. Just looking for a nice neighbourhood either downtown or close to downtown (south, west or north areas). We will have one car for sure, maybe two (considering selling the 2nd if we move). What kind of prices am I looking at to rent or buy a place? I currently own my home in St. John's, so I'm thinking I would rent my place out here and start with a rental in Halifax. If things go well, I will buy a place there. I should add that we aren't interested in a condo/apartment building. As of now, I'm thinking I would be comfortable with paying around $1500/month. Obviously any less would be better.

Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
