Calgary Place

One year update***Solid 3.5Pros:Great deal for new tenantsClose to the peace bridge, river, princes Island parkMaintenance guys are fast. You have a issue, you call and it's fixed pretty quick.Balcony is bigger than expectedPrice is great for the area, close to Westbrook mall and the new superstore downtown. The grocery store on the main floor also is reasonable... IshI think the elevators are ok compared to other apartmentsStorage room across from the apartment is a decent sizeI found the staff friendly and responsiveThere is a pool, opened once restrictions lifted mid JulyConsTo pay rent, if you use your credit card it's 1.75%extra so on a $1000 per month you do the math...if you use your bank account there's no processing feeWest Tower has a great view but you will hear the train and lots of street noise even on the 7th floor. This is my only real BIG con. Not sure how high you have to go so that you won't hear them. Not sure about the East tower noise level.Parking is $115 a monthKitchen area is very narrow. Great for one person not twoElevators... I mentioned they were fast compared to other buildings I checked out but... They broke down a lot so not that great. They were pretty annoying sometimesFire alarm!!! Last 3 months was crazy... Randomly going offThat said, I would still live here another year because in all it was pretty good!

The best way to review this building will be with quick and punchy bullets. Here we go. (Quick review: 4 Stars as the building is a great location and bang-for-your-buck.)- Office staff are friendly- Maintenance staff are effective and quick, but there will be a lot of maintenance needed as the building is old- Multiple rent payment options online: debit, credit card, or direct banking (I had an issue with this before but Rania sorted it all out! Thanks Rania!)- The pool in summer is nice, but they take a long time to open it so you'll only be getting it for about 2 months (July/Aug)- The gym is okay, it's what you'd expect for a free apartment gym, but the hand sanitizer is always empty, they should fill this as gyms are bacteria cesspools- We did have a pest problem with cockroaches, but after four attempts to stop them with 'baiting' failed, management called in Cal-Rid, a company that guarantees they get rid of pests in one go. It certainly has worked!- Parking is about $115 and is covered, that's a good deal for downtown- The buildings location is great, and near loads of amenities while being close to transit- North of the building is the Bow River and Kensington, which is beautiful- South of the building is the infamous Crack-Mac's (now Circle K) and a load of homeless people- There is a nice little grocery shop below the building in the strip mall, including a Tim's, Cafe, Bar, and Dry Cleaners- Laundry facilities are modern and clean- The view facing the mountains can be incredible

i will clean my apartment whenever i want.I dont think threatening note would be working. There are so many stolen packages and serious in suite marijuana situation you can not solve them, and now you are worrying about my apartment INNER cleaning? it’s not your business unless i end the contract, isn't it？

I would give no stars if possible. Also would never recommend anyone to live here. Please seek elsewhere to live. With lack of repairs on this buildings elevators and hot water. The frustration of paying for necessities but they take their sweet time to get around to. Constant water outages and fire alarms going off due to lack of ventilation when your neighbors burn their toast.Don't even count on extra amenities being operational either. This was the worst experience of my life. Your house and living situation should be peaceful not stressful. Take this as a warning ⚠️ and rent elsewhere.

At QR aparts. I am not Enjoy steam hot water, elevator is well working, high security, clean floor and gym.summer will be more. Cool here

I would like to thank Analiza for arranging early suite visit and handed the unit earliest.Thank you Cristal and Mariam for moving huddles for new comer like me and explained everything Calgary Place has to offer.Cristal really amazing! She helped us to visit the ready suits, handed over the keys and walkthrough the amenities Calgary Place has.

Me and my husband lived in this apartment for 3 years before we moved out last winter.We have never experienced such poor customer service at any locations or services we have received. The communication between the management team is extremely poor and disorganized that the renters end up wasting their time, energy and peace of mind dealing with issues.They stressed us so much during our move out . I honestly think they should work better on customer service.This is the first negative review that i have ever written , for the sole reason that i hope after reading this, the management would definitely consider hiring employees or training current employees to be better understanding and respond politely to people living in their building.And the elevators where always under service most of the time which gave us headache daily.But the service from maintenance team was excellent.

Went to take a viewing Yesterday with my friends. The lady was so rude and unprofessional. When we inquired about the house she said it’s too expensive now and you guys might not be able to afford that. Later she tells we don’t have any left. When we asked if we can take a look at the apartment she said sorry I can’t show you guys that. Definitely never ever going to look at Calgary Place apartment as our home. One of the worst experience we had and would also suggest everyone never to visit the place.

Okay place to live, now as the rent has hiked, I don’t think the living standard matches the high rent.

I lived here for two years and overall it was a good experience. The view was nice, the price was good, amenities were usually working without issue, although there were usually only two working elevators. They also completed repairs quickly. As long as you avoid 8th street and 7th ave (I lived in the west tower) there wasn’t much issue with the area. I especially enjoyed having a dishwasher, and a balcony.The only major issue I had was with moving out of here. It was a horrible experience. I booked the moving elevators on a Saturday from 10 AM to 12 PM. In the email they sent me I was instructed to call the phone number provided when my movers arrived. I tried to call that number at 10 AM and only got voicemail for the rental office. I tried again about an hour later, as my movers were running late and I wanted to inform them of that the first time, and again I could only leave a message. I went down to the rental office to see if anyone was there and there wasn’t. Then I checked the mail room to see if anyone was waiting there for me, and I find two other people using the moving elevator to move their stuff out, in the timeslot that I booked. I never did get a hold of anyone at the office to get the elevators and my movers had to wait for the regular elevators which was a huge inconvenience to everyone, as one elevator was already out of service.The people using the elevators in my timeslot informed me that they went to the rental office and someone gave them the key for the elevator. I’m assuming the person that gave them the key thought they were there for my elevator booking, but it was strange no one was there when I went to check the office, and after repeatedly calling the number provided I wasn’t able to get a hold of anyone.It was a really sour note to leave on. Other than that awful experience I enjoyed my two years here.Edit: When the rental office did get back to me regarding my move-out, all they had to say was the office had reduced hours due to COVID and a notification was sent out. Yet they still booked my move for a Saturday knowing they were only working Monday to Friday.In addition, I was not permitted to be there for the move out inspection due to COVID. They sent me a report listing everything as ‘pass’ (minus one missing key for $20), yet still kept another $400 for ‘cleaning’. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc were all listed as passing inspection, but they only returned half the deposit anyways. Attached are pictures of the condition of the apartment as I left it, having cleaned before leaving.Would not recommend living here.
