During the time I lived there, all of my laundry was stolen out of the downstairs laundry room. Sadly, a couple weeks later my apartment was broken into and robbed. many other apartments had also been robbed. At that point I didn't feel comfortable staying there anymore. Now thankfully, this was before the bedbugs and cockroaches, management agreed to let me out of the lease and I left. It honestly sounds like it's gotten much worse since 2005.

We love to live on Burnaby Centre apartments, the management office are great people, super…read morefriendly and helpful, each time either I call over the phone or go in person they ( Amy and Deanna) always greet me with so much joy and anything that we need they always deal with the situation the same day, something that we never experienced in other buildings before, the experience we have is as been in a hotel because we don't have to worry for anything, we feel comfortable to ask for any help because we know how they are always willing to help , we see them as friends and sometimes we like to bring something as a thank you for their great service. The building is so clean and nice, never seen cockroaches ( we guess it depends how clean people are) the views are amazing and the staff are always updating us for any construction work or noise and always letting us know about new rules, specially during this difficult times of the pandemic, we always have the feeling that they care about us as people, as humans and not just tenants. We are so happy here, we are not planning to move from here because it'll be hard to find an equal or better place than here and we thank them for their amazing job they do, we couldn't be any happier and we strongly recommend it, the price for the apartments are so right for the apartment spaces plus amenities ( gym, beautiful swimming pool and sauna) and amazing views.

Also I put repair requests in seven months ago and she is still giving me the run around, still hasn't fixed the mold in my bathroom and the electrical outlets spark everytime I plug an appliance in. Had a small electrical fire in the light in the ceiling in the kitchen so she should take this seriously. It's been seven months and those two things are not fixed. The building manager is a bully and yells at people she doesn't like, she treats people unfairly.

My Wife and I have lived at Horizon Towers for 14+ years…read more We have never had any problems or concerns with the management or the buildings. The reports of nasty bugs and such are Just not True! I can tell you that the Resident Managers, past and present (Especially Present) have always been Kind, Professional and Accommodating .... Please do not take the words of a few past Unhappy Nasty residents as Gospel. The old "Skool" saying definitely applies here. "You Will Catch More Flies With Honey, Than You Will With Vinegar" We are a Community of Wonderful Residents, We Care, and We Live Together...Quit Peacefully.

I lived here for 7 years, I was happy living here and the property management team use to be…read more great. However this past year 2024 onward, the property managers are HORRIFIC and I can no longer live here. These NOTICE TYRANTS continuously harass tenants with rules and what they are doing incorrectly. They have no compassion and zero compromise if you try to work with them on an issue. They take pride in citing breach of tenancy and issue evictions, especially older tenants so they can renovate their suite and charge more rent. Constant plumbing issues and frequent water shutdowns. Also, there is an ongoing pest issue in the suites(bedbugs and other insects). There is no accessibility for folks in wheelchairs/walkers and not even a brick to pry a door open. Living here is stressful and it is managed military-like. Even on my move out notice and before I moved out, constant notices of coming in to measure things and prep for renovation and I'm still packing. RUDE, no consideration. They also charge monthly rent on parking(increases yearly) and no visitor parking(use to be allowed but taken away). If you also park incorrectly in the wrong spot, expect to get your vehicle vandalized with a notice sticker blocking the drivers view. Used to be able to bring guests to the outdoor pool(no longer). Used to be able to use the party room with deposit(now you pay). Just horrible/mean building management now. I'm so glad to be out of here. I've written a letter to RealStar HQ with my experience and all I got was a "sorry for your experience ". For the high rent tenants pay, we deserve more compassion and respect. Beyond the Horizon is a living hell.

Brett and Norman, the Property Managers for this complex, have been fantastic to work with. When…read morelooking for an apartment in another country during COVID it was important to me to find a place that fit all of the boxes on my check-list without being able to see the space. Both Brett and Norman provided great feedback and answered all questions I had. During the time when I was supposed to move, we had the added frustration of waiting on paperwork clearance during the pandemic. The entire time, both PMs always reached out and were very responsive. Finally, when making my way here, all paperwork, parking, and move in maintenance was completed in a timely manner and with my schedule in mind. Added bonus: the neighbors in the complex are really kind. I've had a couple of neighbors pick up boxes and deliver them to my door when able to get downstairs faster than I can to receive packages. Would recommend Carrigan and CAPRIET.

Lived here for several years and I've found the staff excellent and professional, though a bit old school. Chatting with the other tenants, the only people who seem to have a beef with management are troublemakers or party animals. Good riddance. Best management of all the towers I've lived in so far, by far. Best laundry machine setup I've seen in any tower. Love the machines more than the residential one I use to use.

In the 12 years I have been here there have been 4 building managers. An Old lady who lied about stuff all the time, a young foreign woman who could not handle the job, then they got a PRO named Debbie, who really helped clean up the building. Then the 4th manager came in because Debbie got sick. And the Tyranny began. For over 5 years now, the OWNER barely shows up and expects the manager to deal with everything. And she hardly stays for her full hours, always leaving half way through the day! And the worst part, for a building manager who is suppose to have a basic knowledge of the Land Lord / Tenant act, she violates it with every message she leaves on our doors. to the point of harassment. Again, you get what you pay for, and I look forward to the day I can either A: Afford to move out or B: she gets fired.

A friend of mine lived in this place for a few years and moved out recently. She asked me to write…read moresomething for her. The place is infested with silverfish. They come from all over the building and crawl in through any openings. The studio apartments are extremely small, they claim it is 425 sq feet but closer to 275. The one bedrooms are also awkwardly built, long and narrow. You have to have no furniture. The place has cc cameras all over and the loser building manager has nothing better to do than surveil the tenants. Building was extremely quiet, like a tomb. Tenants do not interact with each other and you rarely see them. The neighborhood is extremely far from any supermarkets. There is Metrotown, 6 kms away. Brentwood 5 kms away. Highgate 7 kms away. Look for a building that is within walking distance of a mall or supermarket. This building is in no-mans land, she said.
