The Glen Apartments

WARNING to any prospective renters at the Glen: This rental company has some very unethical practices. When we were renting our unit we were promised rental increases less than 2−3% historically, when it came time to renew they increased the rent by over 12% in less than 9m. We’re now learning that we are not the only ones, constant churn & vacancies. Nice building shame about the company that owns the property.

I lived at Davey Glen from June 2013 to August 2014 when they started renovation on the property. I’ve seen some comments on the new management company Carmel not delivering good service. Alan and Hector were always great, even trying to accommodate us when we left. They always delivered the best service and tried to make sure everybody felt important and their voice was heard. I was given my full deposit back and always treated with the most respect. I have even checked in on the apartments since I left to possibly go back. Apartments look beautiful and I would consider moving back in the future if the price is right. Thanks again guys for the time I was there and a much needed review that was overdue since I left.

We moved in here 1 month back, and have had a pleasant stay, the community is redone a bit right now so their is construction work, but it’s really good till now, its not noisy at all and the manager Alan is a really cool guy, their emergency maintenance guy responds withing minutes even on weekends. I am enjoying my stay and would recommend anyone to stay at this apartment.

This is my first Unilocal review and sorry it is not positive.
I have been living at this apartment for the last 5 years. Although there have been regular break ins into various apartments in this complex every year and car break ins at the covered parking area consistently over the last 3 years (including mine) — we stayed on because of the hassle to move with family. Now with the new management refusing to renew our lease and forcing us to take up a new lease at the higher rate (about 100%increase from my current monthly rent) — we’ve decided to move on. With the continued theft/​break-​ins (just a couple of weeks back) it might also be the right thing for our kids. Also — the new management team has been entering our apartment very frequently and I’m also starting to get worried about privacy and security of my personal information. It feels more like staying in a paying guest/​hostel facility that the management team can walk in and out whenever they want (irrespective if we are home or not). Glad we don’t have to deal with the new management any more — not very friendly, intrusive on personal space within the apartment and not very trust worthy so far.

People be warned! Don’t move into Davey glen! This was a nice place to live until Carmel Partners took over. The management is terrible! Not easy to communicate with in any way. They have been renovating. The water has been turned off several times, construction and noise starts as early as 7:30 Am. They are always wanting to come in for inspections every 3 weeks. All tenants are being given 60 days notice. You can stay., but only with about a $ 600 raise in rent if you choose to stay. They are also giving different rent prices. One neighbor was told his rent would go up to $ 3,600 for a 2 bedroom. Others have been told $ 3,100 for a two bedroom. Many people have moved out. Are utility bills have gone up at least $ 80 per month. They now claim its part of the rent! I didn’t sign up to live in a commune! They are charging us xtra do to lack of occupancy! My car along with several other has been broken into 2 times! They claim we have security here?!! What a joke!!! I could go on with a list of complaints! Wouldn’t make a difference. They don’t listen or return phone calls! Bottom line, stay faraway from this place!

Now that Davey Glen is owned by Carmel Partners, the property and management team are first rate. I have lived at a number of different apartment communities and my experience at Davey Glen (while managed by Carmel Partners) has by far and away been the best! Alan and Hector are always available, open and honest, and helpful with any need my husband and I had as residents. The property is also undergoing a major renovation which makes it an even better place to live. I doubt you will be able to find anything better on the peninsula. Go check them out!
