LaCité - Montreal

A lot of construction and almost monthly alarm testing in the morning. There's also smoking and no masks worn in the elevators. not the ideal place to work. The people at the office are professional.

The worst place you can choose! At first look you find it a tranquil place you wish to live, but wait! Every morning you wake up with renovation noises... And it never ends! One day drilling started at 6 a.m! Can you believe it? Stay away from here, I'm moving out less than 1 year

I had phoned in to this apartment complex to inquire about renting and was greeted on the phone by Jessica Sullivan She guided me through the process of applying for an apartment for my bother in law She was straight up with all the rules and told me about all the nice amenities the complex has to offer She told me all the choices of sizes and levels of the available units along with pricing Then she set up an appointment to visit, but since I’m from out of town, my nephew toured the place with my brother in law All went well and we reserved the appartement I just finished touring the complex with Jessica and finalized all the paperwork with her help She made the process so easy and comfortable Kudos on Oxford in having excellent and well trained agents to help in the rental process!! Thanks Jessica!

Great experience with LaCite. I took my uncle to see an apartment and Dianne showed us the place, offered us alternatives, and gave us a tour around the connected mall. She was really patient and answered all our questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. She was straight up honest with us and we never felt pressure in any way. Thanks!

I have been living in la cite at Jeanne Mance for over 5 years. Between 2017 and 2019 everything was smooth. However, after covid-19 their service became awful especially, their management. They changed jeanne mance’s residence manager every year. This year, they made people move out due to increasing rents so that they could rent the apartments to new people thus they could make more money. They reduced their quality of service especially in management to make you leave. I know more than 10 people who received an evacuation letter citing that they did not made the payment on the first day of the month. Usually, if you do not exceed 1-2 weeks it doesnt matter that much. I was one of them who received the letter. It is important to mention that I had no overdue balance at that time. During the trial Oxford’s argument was “we are affected very negatively since this person did not pay his rent”. Oxford also wanted me to evacuate since I paid several rents after 3-5 days of the first day of the month. Simply wow. I just laughed when I saw this statement. If oxford is heavily affected with one person’s rent then I feel sorry for them. Eventually, the court gave the decision of making the payment every first day of the month. Also, eventually, they did not evacuate me. However, I cannot say the same thing for other residents. After this decision, they made every effort to not accept my monthly pre-defined eft payment. Especially, after they hired the new manager everything got worse. If you are looking for a new place I recommend checking out apartments rue stanley, and rue drummond. I will soon leave my apartment and look for a new place. Also, if you think having a mall under your home is good. Everything is online today. You can get whatever you want.

Overall, I think La Cité is a good place to live. In my opinion, the biggest selling point is the location. An apartment in La Cité is an elevator ride away from two supermarkets, a pharmacy, a dollar store, and a small food court with decent food. It's also within walking distance of the mountain, most of downtown, and most of the Plateau. I'm also happy that the apartment building is dog-friendly. Finally, I've needed a few repairs in my apartment, most of which were completed within a few days by the building staff.

We're really loving the appartment and the infrastucture of the building, we have everything we need just pushing the elevator button (can't wait to the club be able to open) and an amazing view!! Also, the people who work here are really nice, and we have a special affection for Rocky, who showed us the apartaments and is always there happy to help us or just for a nice chat.

I am really happy I chose to live in two of LaCité's studio units during my last 7 years as a student in Montreal. My favourite thing about living at LaCité was the convenience of the mall downstairs, especially in the winter. The direct elevator access was so awesome to have and really made living in Montreal in the winter significantly better. The water pressure of my units were both excellent and I also appreciated how clean and repainted my units were when I moved in. Another thing that was great was how thick the concrete walls of the building were so you rarely heard surrounding units. I also always found my interactions with staff members to be very respectful. In terms of maintenance, the online request system for the building always worked really well for me and I never had any issues getting assistance.
