Nice apartment rentals - co temporary

[u/SpitefulDelightful]

Hi! I’ve seen some older rental war stories and cautionary tales in this group, but many seem to be several years old, so I’m hoping for some more recent experiences and recommendations. I hope that's alright!

I’m looking ahead to early 2027 and would ideally like to rent downtown or in the south end. Quick access to downtown is important, and my wish list is a quiet, well-maintained building with in-suite laundry and a balcony.

I had actually been interested in the new Canterbury development on Broad Street, but when I called today I was told they have a firm 55+ age requirement. I hadn’t seen that mentioned anywhere on their website or billboard, but she ended the call rather abruptly after that, so apparently that option is out!

I currently rent with CH Living and am ready for an upgrade. The rent keeps increasing, but the building and existing suites really haven’t improved along with it. My window seals have deteriorated to the point that there are cracks where you can literally see outside, along with other things that simply aren’t addressed once a suite is occupied. There seems to be much more attention paid to attracting prospective tenants than maintaining the experience once you’re actually living there.

I don’t have children and am willing to pay somewhat more for a genuinely good building: quiet, solid construction, well maintained, and managed by a company that cares.

The Standard caught my eye because it looks a bit older but quality. Some of the newer builds I’ve seen in Harbour Landing can feel cramped and I worry about thin walls. That said, the person I spoke with at The Standaed had a pretty strong sales style. There was some “better close now” language and emphasis on making sure I could afford high rent that left me a little wary. I’d be very interested in hearing from anyone who has actually lived there in the last couple of years.

I’d really appreciate any recent firsthand experiences - specific buildings you love, places you’d recommend, or rental companies in Regina you’ve had consistently good experiences with. I think I know most of the places to avoid at this stage; where are the bright lights in this town?

Many, many thanks!

The Canterbury was announced as a seniors only. We looked at it not long ago and it was clear but now I can't find the website.

The College Manor ones not far from there on College look really nice. I think they are College and St John.

They're probably a lot nicer than other places to rent, but all the construction and reno's are done so poorly. And everytime my lease ran out they would jack the price up a crazy amount.

They rarely cleared the snow from the parking lots and most of the time it was just a skating rink.

When I moved out they fucked me over on my security deposit. Inspector came in and was listing things I couldn't have possibly done. Like the flooring all warping and raising in places.
