Le Jardin Apartments

Really great place to live, all things considered. The rooms are very spacious, massive balcony and I had the best view (top floor, right on the corner) they have great amenities and the people in the building are all fairly friendly and keep to themselves. Also a huge bonus to be right by the lrt and minutes away from Glenora stairs and the legislature. The garage got broken into twice in the year I stayed, which is a bit unsettling, but it happens. The staff were fine, management was fine (I had a couple complaints and one other issue with guest parking but no real issue), security guards are very friendly.Only drawbacks I’d say are that it can get very hot on the upper floors, it’s is very pricey and I had some issues with neighbours complaining but that’s different for everyone.Wish I could’ve stayed longer but the price was simply too steep.

Nice, clean, secure and quiet residential building. I really enjoy the big windows, the huge balcony, and the perfect view. Also it's a good location: Grandin station next to the main building door, close to River Valley and grocery.

Management is awful. They treat you like you're a criminal and get defensive as soon as there is a problem. The manager watches the cameras like a hawk, and will call you down and complain about every small thing.They LOST my rent cheque, then made me give another one, and CASHED BOTH!!!! It took 4 months of hounding them to give me credit for the rent they over-charged me, and even tried to say we owed them MORE rent just before then. In the end it was all sorted out after I showed them my bank statements showing that they cashed all my rent cheques (HUGE PAIN) I would ABSOLUTELY NOT recommend anyone move into this building.They hired a new manager, but she is just as bad as the last one. The new manager got in a confrontation with my movers within 2 mins of them being there. Nobody gets along with these people.Guest parking is also a joke, and is always a pain to get passes for it.The ONLY good thing about this place was the view of the river we had on the top floor (which was 1000 degrees most days).STAY AWAY and MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Excellent size for a one bedroom, great storage, great view for downtown, amazing LRT location. It can be noisy on game nights, it can be a bit hot, and management could be seen as strict or rude but they take security seriously and that is a priority for me. Good things and not so good things have happened but my overall experience has been positive.

I lived there longer than I care to share... But this was a great affordable place. Pros: LRT station outside the door, access to amenities in walking distance, professional management who will leave you be if you are living your life within the rules, underground parking, great views, massive balconies, well maintained, huge bedroom (easily fit a king-size bed suite and desk), lots of storage.Cons: shared laundry, and in recent years, the building cannot handle summer heat; i've even slept on the balcony as the heat trapped in the building overwhelmed my AC unit. Even if installing central AC is too difficult in the building, when they convert units, they should consider ways to enable more air into units (bay window changes perhaps); and while the Legislature is beautiful, it has been the site of some of the most obnoxious protests in the past year.If it wasn't for the summer heat issues, I would have stayed happily.

The Property Managers have been super friendly, professional and most accommodating with my early move-in date requests. I love my new home, which comes with a great view and massive balcony! A very secure building with wonderful neighbours, where everyone is careful not to let strangers in and it's like living in a small, friendly village. Then, there's the commute (lack of), two blocks from SaveOn Foods and a short walk to work, walking distance to everywhere!Update (after 2 years at Le Jardin): I recently submitted a request to property management for repairs in my suite and said repairs were completed within 24 hours. This place is wonderfully managed and maintained, it's a place where you want to hang your hat.

I lived here for four years, and was overall quite happy with the place.Pros:- Outstanding location. You have the LRT right outside the front door, and you're within walking distance of downtown, the UofA, and lots and lots of great river valley trails. I found it fairly easy to get by without a car here.- The apartments are spacious. The bedrooms, living rooms, and balconies are all very large, especially compared to newer buildings in the area.- You can have a gym almost all to yourself. The building has a fairly reasonably equipped gym (treadmill, elliptical, free weights/bench, and multi-use weight machine) and while I lived here, it was rarely used. I went to this gym regularly and almost always had it entirely to myself.- Prompt responses to maintenance requests. Whenever I submitted a maintenance request, someone always came to resolve the issue within a day.Cons:- It's an older building with the associated maintenance troubles. We had fairly frequent plumbing problems, and the water was shut off somewhat frequently for maintenance without much warning.- Very hot in the summer. The building feels like it really traps heat, and it was often much. much hotter inside the apartment than it was outside. We eventually bought a portable A/C unit but it really couldn't keep up.

Our experience with Le Jardin Apartments and Julie (manager) has been awesome! 5 stars plus!! Clean, quiet and safe area. Don't hesitate to check it out. You will not be disappointed.

We lived there for 2 years and liked the apartment and building. However, the manager, El Louis, was horrible. She was impolite and agressive, and behaved in a way that I felt she is racist. She lied about availability of apartments and said there is no vacancies but when we called with another phone number she said yes 2 apartments are available. After several misbehaviors we called the main office and complaint about her. When she found out, called us to her office and said Leave this building and I will return this month rent to you""

Great staff who go above and beyond when asked. Love the location as it is right next to the legislature and the LRT.The building is older, but it is well maintained. There is a nice gym on the main floor and a racket ball court (though it seems rarely used).There is a big bike rack in the parkade for secure lock up. There was a bike theft a couple months back, but it was quickly reported and the suspect caught.
