Bridgeview Apartments

I didn’t see any recent reviews so I thought I would chime in.

I was extremely hesitant renting here based off of some of the reviews I’d have read on various sites. Ultimately, I decided to take a chance and very glad I did.

In my little over two years I cannot think of any major problems. Maintenance was top notch. My dishwasher stopped working and was replaced within a business day. The washing machine agitator wasn’t working and I received a new machine the following day. Asked the... maintenance manager for some paint that wasn’t flat for the wall across from the kitchen, he dropped off a gallon. Needed to borrow a ladder to hang curtains - it was dropped off same day. Friendly, professional, schedule accommodating..

The common areas and pool (no additional cost to use) were always clean. The refuse room was looked after daily. No bugs or rodents, ever. No problems with neighbours.

The neighbourhood was fine. I worked an awkward night shift schedule for a while and never was worried about safety. I believe there was a catalytic converter theft once in the parking lot one night.

The management team provided tickets to baseball and hockey games at no additional cost. They would also have donuts and coffee from time to time. There’s an annual Christmas party with lots of food, drinks and door prizes. It was always a welcome and friendly environment.

Communication was clear, concerns were addressed in a timely manner.

The only negatives I can think of- I could hear my shared wall neighbour’s TV, along with people talking as they passed by in the hallway.
The traffic on the bridge can be loud, be it emergency vehicles or modified exhausts.

The one elevator was out of commission for over a month while a part was on order but after being fixed, I don’t recall it being down.

With a wall full of windows I highly recommend installing insulated curtains.

The parking lot - unfortunately other residents are not always careful. My brand new car was scratched and dinged up.

Water is billed monthly - it isn’t billed on actual usage but estimated based on the apartment size and number of occupants. Wasn’t a fan. There’s also a $5 fee from the company they use for this. No way to avoid it.

They pass their liability insurance expense onto the tenants by charging an additional $10 a month.

The biggest downside is the 10% rent increase written into the first year lease. That was a hard pill to swallow and ultimately why I made the decision to leave.

Bridgeview is a great aand quiet place to live, my only problem is it got too expensive to live, rent goes up ever lease renewal can't afford to live here anymore.

It’s so comfortable.. love that the apartment have big and spacious windows..
The people are nice and it’s quiet..
so far so good.

I will begin with the reason why I decided to write a review, as this is not generally something that I do. I was relocated due to a promotion via my company, and that process was horrendous. My company attempted several times to contact Tracey who responded initially but then stopped. It was at the point where my company was attempting to resolve the lease break payment where she stopped responding. My company again attempted to get a response several times with no avail. I stopped getting... emails from my company attempting to resolve this and had received no calls or emails from Bridgeview apartments regarding this as well, so I assumed this was completed. However, in November I received a call from a debt collector that I was turned over to by Bridgeview apartments, for this outstanding debt. I contacted my company to figure out what happened here, and they said that they could not get a response from Tracey despite trying their best efforts. So, I had to pay out of pocket, and my credit score is potentially affected due to the lack of response from them. I even attempted to get in contact with Tracey myself to attempt to pay the debt without the collector being involved, and of course, I had not received a response. Needless to say, I would have never rented here if I knew it would turn out this way.
In terms of my issues with the actual rental it is not in a good area at all. My car was broken into, and by front bumper was stolen. I had also seen broken window glass on the ground on several occasions, implying that I am not the only one. Also saw a Honda Accord on bricks with all the rims taken off. After my event, I looked to get the garage parking, I was initially told that I would be eligible after a couple of months, which I was okay with, however I never heard back my last 6 months there, which left a bad taste in my mouth. Also, it is loud. The cars passing over the bridge adjacent to permeate very loudly, and you can hear people yelling and playing music outside at all hours of the night. I have had many sleepless nights there. Also, the elevator was not working pretty much every other day. In fact, my move out day, it was broken, and I had to move everything down the stairs from the third floor.
king to move into the area is to avoid this place and look elsewhere to avoid the issues that I have experienced.

I recently moved in to Bridgeview Apartments and I am amazed. I have a beautiful upgraded one-bedroom apartment with an awesome view and a perfect balcony (can't wait till Spring and Summer!). The resident lounge and gymnasium are just perfect. There is also a swimming pool and a tennis court, indoor parking space wow. The community is great, staff and maintenance are very very friendly and helpful. It feels lile living un a hotel with many free amenities.
