Apartment Tour

Stopped by today for a tour as I am in the process of looking for a new place. I’ll start with Sue at the leasing center who was very friendly and extremely helpful. She answered all our questions in detail leaving us with no questions when we left. As for the apartment it was great. From the moment we walked through to door, smelt great and was very spacious with great lighting and tons of storage area. We loved the updated look and definitely keeping canterbury at the top of our list.

Go Mary

Mary took her time to show us the different styles of apts although we knew what we wanted she still gave us options. She was also a great help with helping fill out the application to make sure we had everything completed to make the process smooth .

Run away from this place do not rent from here.

This place is falsely marketed. It seems like nothing has been updated since the late 1990s. Everything is outdated, and our unit has an unpleasant smell reminiscent of urine. The shower is rusty, and there are stains everywhere. I am very disappointed and frustrated. I'm just hoping the year goes by quickly so I can leave. By the way, don’t believe the claims about appliances; all we have is an old stove and fridge. Instead of us unpacking and enjoying our “new clean apartment” we have spent… the past two days cleaning after the old tenant. This apartment did not pretend to at least clean after their old tenant. There are hair on the floor everywhere. Don't even get me started on the toilet seat or the sink.
