Hudson Walk One

My Spouse and I have been living in the building for over a year and we love it. This is why: -The staff is super friendly, kind and positive -The staff keep everything working well and looking good (gardening, windows cleaning, carpet cleaning,parkade cleaning, alarm tests etc) -The place is pet friendly. It includes a dog park and the staff loves our dog -There is private security - The location is quite convenient (we commute by bicycle) We highly recommend living here!

Units were nice, building was clean and bonus that it is pet friendly. Lots of natural light and there was a good view. The units were pretty small for the price, and there were always new announcements daily. I found there was a large amount of disruptions like multiple fire alarm tests a month. Otherwise had a good year there, the large windows were lovely. Underground parking was nice, though pricey. If you do have a pet watch out as there are no screens on the windows, and some of the balconies have spots for them to run to the next balcony as they are not completely closed off. Unfortunately left with a bit of a sour taste as there are very high expectations from tennant's upon move out. Expect to have to pay large fees for blind cleaning as it is the tennant's responsibility, I've heard quotes as high as $400 depending on your unit on your own dime. Units have to be completely spotless as they basically white glove the place, I'd save yourself the hours of cleaning and hire a cleaner or else you'll have to pay a couple hundred dollars regardless.

I've lived at Hudson Walk One for nearly two years now. I initially had a south east facing apartment and made an internal move to a south west facing apartment when it came available. Laurel and the management team have been absolutely excellent to deal with. They have assisted me in making my initial move in pleasant and easy and made an extra effort to make sure my internal move also went well. They create an inclusive environment with an excellent structure for security, parking, waste management, constant notices and updates so as a tenant I am always informed of building maintenance and operations. The gym is great, the location is excellent and it's dog friendly so there is often a fuzzy friend to help get people chatting. Laurel and the management team are always helpful and respond very quickly and professionally to any questions I have. I definitely recommend living here!

A very bad experience we had with the Hudson walk buildings manager, the old lady asked us to go for the visit initially and after we selected one apartment, she asks us to take the letter from the bank showing how much we have in our checking/savings accounts. we immediately did that and we come back to give the letter to her but she keeps us waiting for one hour till she comes back(although they called her and let her known that we were waiting and she said I will be there asap ) and at that point although she can see we have much more than a year's rent in our accounts and that the account has been opened two years before that time and there were regular pay checks in that account(my husband was an expat) , she asked us to pay one year rent upfront! It is very unprofessional towards the newcomers, she knew from the beginning that we were unemployed, so why did she bothered us to go to the bank and take the letter anyways? Just wasting our time, and if she cares about credit, I could have provided reference. What bothered us the most was that she did the same towards some of our friends who were not unemployed! That was definitely not a good welcome! anyways, we ended up taking one of the Bosa4rent apartments which was brand new and more expensive than the one we initially wanted to rent at Hudson walk!

I lived in a studio Unit at the Hudson Walk One for one year. While the prices seem a tad expensive, given the downtown location, included amenities and the pristine condition the building is kept in, the price is actually pretty reasonable. Other downtown apartments are far more expensive, for far less space. The management team always got back to my inquiries quickly, and they kept me well informed of building maintenance and issues. While they are pretty firm on the rules building, I always felt the building's staff was friendly and courteous. I also found that the building was exceptionally quiet, and I almost never heard anything in any of the neighboring units, even when I knew my neighbors had people over and were playing music etc. They are fully pet friendly, and even held events where they brought in Santa Paws and set up a donation station for the SPCA. They also occasionally hold community events where they provide coffee and donuts/cookies for tenants to build community which I always appreciated (Pre COVID times of course). They are incredibly strict at move out and do expect the unit to be left in pristine condition - there is a reason why the building still looks new years later. They are also fully upfront about their expectations, providing a comprehensive move out cleaning checklist, and the prices should those expectations go unmet. Definitely get a professional cleaner and make sure they read the checklist fully BEFORE they arrive so there are no surprises at their end. I was really nervous about the move out inspection, but actually found Laurel was incredibly reasonable and fair. I moved out because I was leaving the Island, should I ever return I would consider live in the Hudson Walk One again.

My partner and I have lived in the building for over a year now and we've always had a great experience. The management and staff are friendly, professional and respond to any of our inquiries right away. The building itself is clean, quiet, and well maintained. I think the rent is very average for downtown Victoria and the building has some nice amenities and well designed interiors. Management has done a great job at implementing Covid-19 precautions which I appreciate. The building also has round the clock security, which is nice with it being downtown. I'd say the only downside is the parking, as it is expensive and limited, but I think that's par for the course in Victoria. All in all, I'd definitely recommend the Hudson, as I find it a great place to live.

I've been living in the Hudson since it was built and I have to say I have zero complaints. Management is pleasant always easy to deal with, I've never had an issue with them not getting back to me if I have a question or concern. The building's great as it allows for bigger dogs and management is also friendly and welcoming to your furry friends. I'm currently in a one bed room and find the layout lovely, the rent is on par with what you'd pay for downtown and this is a new clean building. The Gym is a great size and has nice well maintained equipment. The cleaning staff in the building are great at maintaining the common areas and especially during covid I find all the staff have stepped up and made such a large building comfortable to live in during these uncertain times. Overall I think the staff all around are great and it's a welcoming and great place to live.

My partner and I have lived in Hudson Walk 1 for just over a year now. The building is new, very clean and well maintained. Our balcony is a nice size and we lucked out on an awesome view! Great location for walking downtown and secure parking underground. The management team are friendly and helpful with any issues you have. The building is very pet friendly, there is a dog park and the staff always give a warm welcome to furry friends. Overall a very nice place to live ❤
