What is the best town, smaller city to live in outside of Toronto Ontario and why?

1. If it was me, I have friends in Orangeville and Stouville, all just north of the city enough to be quiet and quaint, but close enough that it does not take a tank of gas to get there, plus the GO Transit is availblae in both places for easy commuting to the downtown and surrounding areas and are close to the 401 and Airport. I also worked in Kleinburg years back at the McMicheal Art Gallery when I was a chef, it is built up more now but is still small enough to be a nice place to raise a family, and while housing prices range the same as down in the GTA, it is rural and secluded enough to have quiet evenings to sleep with.
2. i like Hamilton.
3. If by "outside" you mean near then Milton, if by "outside" you mean other than, then Woodstock.
4. I wouldn't want to be too far from Toronto so I would say Oakville or Burlington. They are very nice places to live plus still very accessible to Toronto.
5. umm...there are none. try the burbs: north york, scarborough, etc. they're pretty sweet and not TOO far from where everything happens =P
6. Markham...?
7. Markham because this town is very influenced by the asian culture. Plus we have Pacific Mall which is the largest indoor asian mall in North America. :)
