Follow up: So the building/s are still "low rent" looking, but the main problem is now that vehicles are being stolen. Sure that happens, but there were two taken just last month from the underground parking. The building put up notices not to keep the building's main doors propped open. Which is rather a joke, because they are the only ones that I see leaving them open. The incompetent/apathetic office assistant keeps telling her building cleaner that they can leave the doors propped open. She also tells movers that it is okay to keep them open for the entire 2 to 5 hours moving sessions. I've personally complained over 5 times and the young cleaning dude still leaves it open unattended. Yet the actual building manager says that he'll talk to him ...each time. If my car gets stolen ...I will hold them liable. BTW I'm thinking that they just put up the "don't prop the doors open letters" to relinquish themselves from the responsibility of the missing cars, but it them who are leaving the doors open, and the letters mean nothing! Last month alone, I witnessed several "homeless/crack heads" leaving two different buildings at different occasions. One chick with a beat up bike, and totally out of her mind on some hard drug, came out of our building and ask me where she could charge her phone. I told her that she could use her apartment to do that. She said she didn't live here and didn't know anyone here. She said that door was open. So she just walked in. The other few times there were suspicious homeless dudes going through our underground "secured" garbage area" So there is basically NO BUILDING SECURITY and their "neighborhood watch signs" are bogus. I don't even know if the cameras even record. Otherwise I would think that it would be easier to catch the car thieves. So if you are home all day and night or have great insurance and good home and car security systems then this might not worry you, but if you're a female, you might not want to walk in the underground parking lot/garbage area alone. There are only cameras at the entrance and exits and I don't really know how effective they are. On the bright side....They do allow dogs in the building and I think that they might have hired a new lawn care company, because we have water sprinklers now and the dirt patches on the lawn are getting smaller. Although, I don't know why, but from time to time, I am having to collect handfuls of building insulation off the grassy areas. The person who is supposed to keep the lawns and parking lot clean apparently doesn't have a problem with this and they also miss a lot of garbage as well. I've lived in slumlord buildings and buildings with poor management and in bad areas, but this rental complex makes View Towers look like The Hilton! read more

I would recommend NOT living in the hell hole they call the Gorge View Apartments. The management is horrendous! The management makes the rules as they go along, rip people off by increasing prices on parking, storage lockers, and anything else they can charge you money for. they are kicking/evicting good people, single parent families, and people that have lived there a long time, in order to increase the rent on the suites so they can collect more money! the tenants being evicted, or harassed for that matter, have been living at the GVA for 14 or more years because of it being so affordable. But now that management wants to bring in drug dealers, prostitutes, criminals, dogs and cats, the decent people have to put up with all the chaos, politics and mayhem! the fire alarm goes off ALL the time! ALL hours of the day and night. There are tons of break ins in the underground parking, as well as above ground. Laundry gets stolen or damaged from the poor facilities provided. The GVA is infested with silverfish and rodents! the walls are crawling with them!!!! The manager at the building is Cruella De Ville to put it nicely. Every single person that knows her, will vouch for that one guaranteed. But no one will come forth because the tenants are all afraid of getting evicted or harassed to the point that you can't take it any more and just want to escape the living hell the landlord,Elana Teraneauko, will put each and every person she comes in contact with.Diane King is the property manager and she is just as awful. The two evil managers are working to pull in more money, take from the poor and give to the rich! MOVE IN AT YOUR OWN RISK! The only bonus is the pool and workout area. Even then, I have seen a woman popping her husbands back zits in the pool, broken glass in the hottub, feces, bums and hookers that break in to bathe, and some other disgusting unmentionables too. This place needs NEW MANAGEMENT ALL AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a minus a million! Oh and one more thing, the Gateway Property Management in Victoria BC is full of lies! the is no playground for the kids?! It is totally a hazard, and dangerous! A child could get severely hurt, unfit for use. Plus the entire back of the lot of Building #3 is all torn up. (From construction that came to a halt about 2 years ago!) read more

Pros: Hot Tub, Swimming Pool, Dog Friendly Cons: Slumlords, Terrible onsite management. Sloppy maintenance. Building and apartments old and falling apart. No fenced in area for dogs or children. Basketball court rusty and filled with garbage, small trees growing through the cracks of asphalt and holes in fence. Children's "playground" is a joke...a dangerous joke. If you like the smell of weed, then you'll love this place. There is a constant terrible overpowering smell of weed in the hallways, out side, on the balconies, in the underground parking ....everywhere. Yet they say it is a "smoke free" building. BTW there are cigarette butts everywhere. When garbage is thrown on the lawn, it isn't picked up for days. There was a broken beer bottle on the ground for a week. They do cut the grass, but it's like they hired a stoner 15 year old to do the gardening. Very crappy work. Leaves cuttings everywhere. This building has people moving out mid month all the time. They are having a very hard time getting people to rent and for good reason. If you want to save yourself plenty of headaches, money and time...don't move here. It's not like the rent is a great deal. They list one price, but then they have add-ons that bring it up quite high. Like parking and you have to pay for storage lockers. Which is usually included in your rent. It's weird too...the hydro is quite high. I don't know why. I don't use much and I'm never at home and never use my stove and I pay 50 per month. Other tenants are complaining about the same thing...it is unexplained. I think that the only reason people move here is that fact that you are allowed two small dogs or cats. Seriously...do yourself a favour and keep looking for a different place. read more

there is a terrible infestation of both mice and ants that they didnt tell me about before I moved in. when I went to management about the problem they first ignored me so I complained again and they try blame the problem on me even though I come to find out that this infestation is over 20 years old(so obviously not my fault). I have complained over10 times and they just ignore us. There is crazy amounts of violence and loud fights. Building 3 has constant leaks so the water is OFTEN shut off without notice once on Xmas day and another time we didn't have water for over 48 hours. Not cool with a baby and no water fora bottle. So it stinks of mould pee cigarette smoke. It costs 5$ to do 1 load of laundry and it's not even clean because the washers don't work properly and u have to add extra time on the dryer so ur clothes act dry even with very small loads.Cars are always broken in to. They continue to charge us for all the so called amenities that are broken down and they aren't fixing them. Your packages get stolen and they say there is nothing they can do even though there are cameras. There is dog crap all over the place because nobody ever cleans it up. No visitor parking available because there are only 3 and they are always full of tenants that are too lazy to walk from their designated spots that are further away. We recently had new owners take over (Tribe)they aren't any better. They keep the same EXTREMELY RUDE manager who refuses to do his job and blames everything on the tenant. Any time I complain about something he says "oh well some people are waiting 6 months for a toilet so good luck". I've lived in some pretty bad places but this one takes the cake. read more
