Residences on Bloor

I want to start off by saying the management team really does a great job of trying to help every tenant with any needs they may have and if it weren’t for what I am about to say about the noise, this would be the perfect place to live. However, for the past 6-8 months now there has been constant drilling, hammering, noise after noise after noise after noise due to renovations and construction work. It never stops. If you don’t like loud noise, don’t live here.

Ms. Liberty, the property manager, give us a great impression on her quick response on all emails. She is also open to listen to any of our request. For example, she is willing to let us directly visit inside the unit for a tour. She provides us keys early for our moving stuff before move-in date. One more person I would like to thank is Ray for his support by providing the moving trolley and blocking an elevator on our move-in date.

I love this place, lived here for a year, my room is on the west side. It's much more spacious compares to the other new condos, and the view is great, very warm in the winter as well. A Nearby church and slightly away from Bloor&Yonge makes this place more quiet, but everything is still very convenient, supermarkets(nofrills and longos), restaurants, shopping centre, everything is close to reach. The management team is excellent in my opinion. Property manager Liberty and her team are always friendly and helpful, and staffs that for repairing are on-time, friendly and professional. As for the the room appliances, I rent with a renovated room, I like the spacious counter that provides convenience to my daily life, basic things are well equipped except there was no in suite laundry for my unit. also worth to mention that the mail and parcel receiving experience is quite good because there are dedicated service boxes installed. Also visitor parking and underground parking provides great help when I have a guest to visit. lastly, there is no balcony, however there is a patio on the west side with decent view. -Di

This property is on a prime location with all the conveniences. I have been staying here for past 5 years now and I only have to say nothing but all good words about the community admins or maintenance staffs. They are responsive, utterly professional and, most importantly, friendly and caring. Ms. Liberty, the property manager, is open to listen to our complains or suggestions and she knows exactly what a tenant need. We are truly blessed to have her as our property manager. I would strongly recommend this place and community to others.

Amazing building management with super convenient location. Friendly Staffs under Liberty's have been so helpful to us. Always felt safe with active guard on duty. I would strongly recommend this apartment anyone wants to live on core of the city.

While I only lived here for 1.5 years, I have had a really great experience with the management and building staff here. From the moment I submitted my application, to the moment I moved out, I was presented with pure professionalism and care. Any of the management staff is a joy to deal with, and they certainly don't let up on their care for you after the lease is signed. The maintenance staff, cleaning staff and security is quick to respond to requests, and all of them are quite professional as well. I was lucky enough to live in a recently upgraded unit which means the kitchen appliances, dishwasher, counter tops, laundry/dryer and bathroom surfaces were brand new. The windows were quite new as well, never froze during the winter and insulated the noise from outside quite well. Overall, it's a great building to live in, and the location is second to none - steps away from Yonge and Bloor subway station. If I could have stayed I would, but personal circumstances required me to leave.

Lived here for a couple years and have nothing but great things to say about the building and its staff! The management and maintenance teams are very friendly and helpful! The rental process was a breeze and on the few occasions I needed maintenance, their web portal service made everything easy and efficient. The location is ideal and the building has all the modern amenities to live comfortably downtown!

I've lived in Residences on Bloor almost a year now and overall I can't complain. It is in a very safe area of Toronto to the point where I've never felt unsafe coming and going around this apartment. The security staff at the entrance have always been very friendly and accommodating in terms of holding packages and especially helping me use the moving elevator during my move in. I've had bad and disorganized experiences with that in past apartments but Residences on Bloor made it easy. The leasing office staff were reasonable in terms of getting my lease organized and I had no complaints about the state on my unit upon moving in. I've also had no issues with requests to enter my unit as these tend to be rare including semi annual fire alarm inspections and pest control. Overall I feel like the apartment is very good at valuing the tenants privacy. My only complaint and the reason why I only give this place 4/5 stars and not 5/5 is that some of the rules are not well enforced at all. There has been a unit on my floor that smokes an absolute ton of cigarettes inside their unit that stinks up the entire floor. This has been going on since the day I moved in and the apartment staff is well aware of it and isn't doing anything to prevent it although it's against the law. All they will do is occasionally send around a notice to all the units on the floor asking them to stop which the people smoking just ignore because they know nothing will happen. I've had to purchase an air purifier and have it running at the entrance to my unit to stop the smell from making its way into my unit. It is painfully obvious which unit is responsible due to the strength of the smell but the office staff obviously don't care because it's been going on for over a year. Other than that, the apartment is a decent place to live.
