"This is the best apartment I've ever lived in during my time in Canada. Compared to a typical 1-bedroom, this apartment is very spacious, well-equipped, and extremely quiet. It's a godsend for someone like me who struggles with poor sleep quality. The landlord is very responsible; they respond promptly and address any issues right away."

What Past Tenants Are Saying...

"I stayed in this condo during a one-year contract teaching at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan. The residence had everything I needed, which made it possible to just bring my research materials and equipment rather than apartment furnishings as well. The location is convenient to the university, making commuting easy whether by car or bus, and the location lacked the noise you sometimes get with similarly located apartment complexes. The owners are a pleasure to work with, and they kept me informed of anything the condo required in regards to the unit. If I were to return to UBCO I would happily rent from them again."

-MD (UBCO Lecturer)

"This condo ranks among the finest residences I've ever inhabited. I can always focus on my study because of the quiet environment which also provides good quality of sleep. The unit is well equipped with everything I need, and the landlord is very attentive to address any issues. Last but not least, I have to say it’s really spacious so you can spend time at different spots within the unit."
