The Cornerstone

As a student at SFU I enjoy living in this area of Univercity where everything is close, restaurants, the university facilities, and even a small gym within the building. The building staff and maintenance workers are friendly and professional, and they get things done very easily and quickly. There is nothing bad about living at The Cornerstone. The neighbours are also quite friendly.

The Cornerstone Building, located on Burnaby Mountain just off the Simon Fraser University campus, is a wonderful rental property. The site management and staff are thoughtful, caring, and proficient in their work, and they always strive to ensure that tenants are safe, secure, and comfortable. Units are cozy, nicely laid out, and have a modern feel, and indoor fitness facilities are available for all residents.Removed from the hustle and bustle of the denser city spaces, the immediate neighborhood is generally quiet and peaceful, but a wide range of amenities are also readily accessible (e.g., a grocery store, postal outlet, bank, dental/optometry offices, SFU’s primary transit exchange, et cetera). The building also happens to be mere minutes away from beautiful green spaces and access to the Trans Canada Trail Network, not to mention the SFU campus itself.This is a lovely property in a pleasant community, and is overseen by staff who are friendly and approachable. I was so happy to discover The Cornerstone when I was scouting out living spaces before relocating to Burnaby. It's really great!!

It's really lucky for me to live in such a clean and well-managed apartment compare to the ones used to live in. All the neighbors are very friendly, making people feel at home even if it's a rental apartment.staffs in the building are really hard-working and helpful. The whole building has a positive vibe that i can rest in a happy mood every day. I really appreciate the hard work and patience of the staff. Hope everyone can live here happily.

I've been on the waiting list for 3 years and no availability but I routinely see ads for units. When I call them, they ask what I'm looking for then say oh sorry not available, then i ask them what's available and they say only 2 bedroom or they ask what else you want. In any case when I say I'll take the 2 bedroom, they question that I was looking for a studio or a 1 bedroom before etc. And make some excuse to not give me the unit. I get the feeling Cindy is racially profiling me and this is not Ok. I just sent her an email asking about my last email and no response. Really disappointed that midwest properties allows this type of profiling to take place. Might be time to hire someone a bit more professional.

This apartment building makes me feel warm and loved. Tina helped me with the power outage, helped me make phone calls, and solved the problem in a timely manner. Tina took good care of me here and made me feel at home.

This apartment building is the best place to live. The professional, friendly, hard working, always available staff, starting with Tina, make living here a breeze. You're well cared for, and we appreciate it's clean and well maintained, secure, and professionally managed.

A good place to stay. This apartment is quiet and convenient. I enjoyed my life here. I am actually a person who is sensitive to noise. This apartment provides me with a perfect environment which allows me to study and work with peace of mind.

The Cornerstone building is always clean and well-maintained, and the staff is always willing and ready to help. We particularly enjoy the clean and scent-free environment of this building as we are both extremely sensitive to smoke and smell. In addition, the building is quiet and distraction-free and ideal for working or studying, since there are guidelines that are respected by everyone in the building. Lastly, I have to mention that Cindy and Tina who manage the property are the best and the most helpful team.

Awesome Management, they are on the ball and the building is always clean, Very Happy here. And just wanted to Say these ladies Cindy and Tina are Not Racist. I'm Black lolololol. thanks Ladies

Overall, the building is great. It is in a good area, close to amenities, ideal for SFU students. There is a gym in the building that has everything you need for a simple workout. The buidling staff are friendly and the maintenance staff are professional and always made repairs in my unit in a timely fashion. The only thing I did not know prior to moving here is that cell reception within buildings (this includes many other buildings on the mountain too) is quite weak (0 to 1 bars of service). This makes it difficult to make phone calls and receive calls from the buzzer in the building. The cell reception is good outside, but this is most likely a reception issue in the area and not the buding itself, so there isn't anything that can be done about this by the property management unfortunately. I would recommend this building to students who would like a convenient place to live.
