My name is Osariemen and I am a youtuber/vlogger based in London Ontario, Canada. I make vidoes sharing my experience as a first time mum, life as a nigerian living in Canada and some inspiration.
Feel free to share your suggestions.
Thank you for joining the FAMILY 🤗

Apartment hunting can be fun but stressful, lol. I enjoyed the tour. you can also take us grocery shopping, lets see what it looks like there too.

[@OsariemenO]

Sure I’ll definitely do some grocery shopping, thanks for the idea.

Can you do more videos about London Ontario such as cost of living, job opportunities and the pros and cons to live in london

[@SkyRanger999]

- cost of living is significantly lower than major cities like Ottawa, Toronto etc - London has a bunch of schools, hospitals, a big college and a big university. Beside there are a lot of jobs in trades. Besides that jobs are kind of scarce. - Pros: 1. Relatively cheap city 2. It has a big park (springbank park) which stretches along Thames River. Lots of greenery 3. There are a bunch of farms around London like strawberry, apple, blueberry etc farms. If you are into those activities in the summer, those are fun -Cons: 1. Downtown core is terrible. At the start of the video you saw Dundas & Richmond intersection in downtown. You never want to go there because the area is mostly occupied by crackheads and homeless people. Nobody goes there to spend time. People usually go to Richmond row if they go to downtown. Richmond Row mostly has bars and patios along the area. But the bars are the same big franchise you will find in any other city. 2. I consider London to be a heavily car reliant city. Usually you won't find an area that's walking distance to grocery stores and good restaurants and other basic necessities. If you don't have a car, the transportation is pretty bad. While its getting better, at least half the time you will spend 30+ min on the bus. 3. Its a pretty quiet city. Unless you are a small town kind of person who enjoys peace, you will find it really boring. There are not many fun activities to do. Food scene here is not great.

[@OsariemenO]

Wow! thank you for this.

[@emediongsilas790]

Definitely the house 3 for me😍😍. Two bathrooms just perfect... best for privacy if you have guests over

The 3rdbis my favorite too, I was like Nahh for the first and second. I enjoyed the apartment tour thanks for sharing

[@OsariemenO]

Me too I loved the third, thank you 😊

[@estheriheanacho1570]

The third house is definitely the best... Look at that walk in closet 🥰🥰...

Yes yes 💃🏽

Great video, loved seeing all the places! Hope you find the perfect place for you xx

[@OsariemenO]

Thank you 😊

[@ArtThrill]

Anyone suffering from Claustrophobia wouldnt like that sitting room of the final house. It has little or no natural sunlight coming in.i struggled for air just watching it.

[@unrealtalkpod]

Rental is quite expensive in London, Ontario. Wow thanks for sharing! I'm in Edmonton in a 2 bedroom 2 bath with underground parking ensuite washer and dryer, all for $1250...and i thought that was expensive!

[@edemsons36]

I love your videos Osariemen💓

[@OsariemenO]

Awww thank you so much 🙏

[@enemachidiebere3592]

The third option is definitely my choice too...I love it...

[@leahm8258]

The third place has good space. My only issue is that the house is oriented away from direction of natural light. I know it's winter but without facing East and West, means the bulbs will always have to be on and without natural light, it feels like the house would always be stuffy. I prefer your current apartment. Thanks for the video.

[@OsariemenO]

Yes I get what you mean, I thought so too until I woke up to the rising sun, gosh it was so hot I forgot it was winter now I have to get blackout curtains for both the living room and bedroom.

[@leahm8258]

@@OsariemenO oh really! You mean you were moving there, not just doing a house tour for us to familiarize with London. Well, congratulations on your new home. I am glad you get the sun. Which reminds me that it's important the time of day one goes house hunting. I would need to see the house in the morning and afternoon as well. Thanks for being cool about my response. See you soon in Ontario.

[@samuelunang630]

Wow..Canada is expensive..what..in Texas you can get a 3 bedroom House.. 1 690sq feet for that price wow...

Living downtown comes with its challenges, but London is a nice city.

[@BubesCorner]

Why do I feel like the third apartment is a God given apartment, I feel like I’m living in it already 🤣 there you go girl that’s the house you are looking for.

[@OsariemenO]

It is such a good deal o😂😂😂

[@cathy7861]

Hi, would you please give us the contact information on the third apartment? I've been homeless for almost two years and am just now able to start looking for my own place again. The third place would suit me perfectly mainly because of the shower. So I would really like to contact them to see if they have any other two bedrooms available. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for your time.

[@alicatt1968]

Hey there! Great video!I am in London as well and I will be looking to move again, so I was wondering if you could tell me where the last place is? Does the apartment complex have a name? It’s so hard finding a decent place for a decent price.

[@OsariemenO]

Hi, the previous place was owned by homestead, you can check them out to see if they have any accommodation left.

[@evietemire5136]

I've always wondered, can one bargain for houses? If they tell you the cost is 1000, can you say "madam how much last? 😄😄😄

[@OsariemenO]

Lmao 😂😂😂 this is so funny, I think you can bargain with the owner if you it’s an individual, but these apartments are owned by companies and the prices are fixed but they usually have something for everyone’s budget.

Hi Osariemen. I recently sent a mail to your friend Amaka but no response. Kindly help with info, to get an affordable short time stay in London (probably 2 wks), while hunting & settling for a good accommodation. (Instead of staying in a hotel with the heavy bill). Thank you

[@oseofmat]

Thanks for showing us London. I loved the third house but are there any windows in the bathrooms? I didn't see any.

[@OsariemenO]

No windows at all, they have extractors.

[@oseofmat]

@@OsariemenO hmm. Let me not say I cant cope till I cross over.

[@dunsen1975]

as a newcomer in london, which is better? apartment or house?

[@OsariemenO]

Apartments are cheaper than houses, expect it’s a basement.

[@canrelatewithiffy]

Hi Osariemen... Thank you for your video, I felt like I was there with you 🤸. Do they have apartments that already come furnished? Do you think it's wiser to take already furnished apartments so you can save on furnishing or there's really no difference?

[@OsariemenO]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Most times furnished apartments are shared or for student living or very high end spaces but for family you don’t really find furnished apartments, in the end it may be cheaper for you to furnish at your own pace and to your own taste.

Hey welcome

[@SummerSausage1]

Your search criteria is flawed. I rented a 5 bedroom house for 500 per room (2500/month) with utilities included throughout the last few years. That house has 2 car garage with 4 space driveway and backyard, and only 10 min walk to UWO. Whatever you're searching for is incorrect. You could easily find a 2-3br house for $1500 that isn't a craphole.

[@badboybillionaire5549]

Can you share more details?

[@tsenes05]

Keen to know the details as well. Appreciate if you could share.

[@DROK278]

Yea a year ago lmao how about now? I think like 2500$ for a nice 2 bed a whole house that's like 4000-5000 it's insane here(around UWO) rest of London 2 bed is like 1700 ++ yes one beds are like over a 1000$ here now.

[@ChigoOgugua24]

Is the price of the house for a year or per month

[@OsariemenO]

The rents are paid monthly.

[@omorejohodigs.5060]
