I've been living at 335 Cooper (Bachelor size apartment) for just under four years. I'd have a hard time finding a better place than this downtown. It's seven minutes walk from the transitway or two minutes from several buses down Bank. It's equidistantly nestled between two grocery stores, and you're a stroll away from a vast amount of restaurant options. It's even close to city hall, for when I'm voting or donating blood. Being on O'Connor rather than Bank, it's close to many celebrations and events without it being right under your window. At the end of the review, I'll list a few timings as a bus/pedestrian. One of the best 'features' about the building is John, the live-in superintendent. If I have an issue or question with anything, he's on it like lightning. I've had minor electrical issues where he's knocking on my door to fix it before I hang up our call. He's a real genie-handyman, and maintains a flowerbed out front as well as seasonal decorations. The walls are thick enough that short of literal construction repair work, the only sound you'll ever get is from the hallway. I've never had an issue with my supplied fridge or oven, and the maintenance work I've needed has always been quick and easy. There are several security cameras in the lobby and the laundry room. Along with locking-while-operating washers and dryers, it gives me a lot of peace of mind. Additionally, short of the literal tornado we had here in Fall 2018, the power has never gone out accidentally beyond a momentary flicker. Even then, the tornado only gave us a couple minutes of downtime. As a person with a disability, I should mention the age of the building: it is approximately fifty years old. The apartments, facilities, and whatnot all look great, but a building's age has quirks.There are a set of six steps between the front doors and the elevators on the ground floor, and between the basement elevator door and the floor of the basement. The thermostats in each apartment are rather old (Fahrenheit only) so I tend to manually turn the heat or AC on or off manually once or twice a day. Considering they are both included in the lease, I never feel guilty about making my apartment the temperature I want. For those with hand-dexterity issues, most of the doors in the build have knobs rather than lever handles. The water pressure and temperature (on a mid-height floor) are great, and I've never had an issue with either. Bugs are so infrequent that I'm pretty sure I'm the one carrying them in on my clothing. At this point, if I were to move, it would be to a larger apartment in my own building. Some time-distances for you. This was written before the new trains come online: Lansdown Park (TD Place, cineplex) 27 minutes walk, 14 minutes bus. Transitway: 7 minute walk. Barrhaven centre: 45 minutes busing. South Keys shopping Centre: 28 minutes by bus. Place D'Orleans: 45 minutes busing. Parliament Hill: 9 minute walk Rideau centre: 12 minute walk (uphill) Byward Market: 20 minute walk (partly uphill) Hope this helps prospective residents.

I've rented apartments from five different property management firms in Ottawa since 2014. This company ranks fifth in terms of customer service and conduct. District Realty ensures tenants adhere to the “terms of their lease agreement” in all matters when renting from them. My first interaction with the staff at head office was professional and courteous. However, eight months later when COVID-19 forced university students to return home, the staff became rude, belligerent and condescending! I contacted head office, to terminate the lease, however, there was no empathy from District Realty. They were quick to point out that the tenancy agreement had a termination date that was four months away and that the "lease term must be respected". We tried to sublet or have someone take over the lease; however, we were unsuccessful. For the record, when I was in a similar situation where I could not remain a tenant in another property, the property managers were sympathetic to my personal situation, and allowed me to terminate my lease. The email exchanges regarding how/when termination notice would be given became a battle because “Form N9 must be submitted”. When I questioned the logistics of this, the rental administrator went behind my back and contacted my daughter who was the co-signer of the lease, however, all communications up to this point was done through me, the person who was paying the rent! During this time I became aware of tenants in other District Realty Properties that also had similar experiences with this company. Apparently, they were known to be unethical property managers! Some examples of doing as they please: Masks are mandatory in all public buildings, specifically in elevators. There are NO signs indicating this in the elevators. In fact, tenants do not wear masks while in the hallways of the building and there are no signs reminding them to do so! Locks are not changed when a tenant ends their lease. They did not follow their own policy of signing off on a move-in check list; work orders had to be resent several times and even then, the work was not completed. If I ever need to rent an apartment again, it will NOT be with District Realty!

I can't say enough about how much of a positive impact John Frasier has had on both my work and my clients. From day one, his friendly and approachable demeanor has made every interaction a pleasure. John's willingness to go above and beyond in helping me and my clients has been truly remarkable. Whether it's answering questions, offering guidance, or providing solutions to challenges, John consistently demonstrates his dedication to ensuring our success. His expertise is matched only by his patience, and he never hesitates to take the time to explain things thoroughly, ang making a huge effort to acommodate my clients. It's not just his professional competence that sets John apart, but his genuine kindness that shines through in every interaction. He is always ready to lend a hand! In an industry where timing makes a huge difference, he's an invaluable asset, and I feel fortunate to have him working hard my our side. If you're looking for someone who not only gets the job done but does so with a smile, John is the person to turn to! Thank you, John, and I am speaking not just for me, but on behalf of all Brazilian's families that you helped during this time! Your dedication to helping others is truly inspiring!! We wish you all the best! Warm regards, Ananda Pires

I have been living in one of the District Realty properties (Cooper St., Ottawa) for just under a year now, and have had only positive experiences with the staff. Particularly, John, the Property Manager, has been extremely attentive, helpful, and responsive. He responds instantly to my issues/concerns, and goes above and beyond his designated responsibilities. Whenever I have needed him to sign or avail himself to receive something for me, he has done so gracefully. He is extremely generous with his time. I have never had such a positive experience with a property manager before! And on top of it all, he is personable, friendly, and knows all of his tenants very well. From the administration side, Shelby is just as amazing. She has promptly responded to all my requests for lease and tenant modifications, and parking requests. She has provided me with timely and accurate information when I have been in need of it. She is extremely helpful and friendly, and has answered all of my needs. Again, nothing but positive experiences with her. To conclude, the staff and my experience with District Realty has turned me into a loyal tenant of theirs. If I decide to change buildings for whatever reason, I plan to stay with the District Realty family!

I was with District Realty from 2001-2008 on 335 Cooper Street. The superintendent at the time was Alberto. He was good he always did what was asked of him. If he saw anyone sleeping between the doors to entrance before elevator he would remove them. One time I was about to call him, and there he was! I said gee your fast I was about to call you! They maintained the building very well is a matter of fact, they put in all new windows, they painted, removed carpet on each floor; and put tiles. Now that same building has central air. When they did all these renovations they put up everyone's rent $50.00. I phoned them explaining my situation saying that is quite a lot for me. They knew I was a long term tenant. Anyway, they did not put up my rent the $50.00, but only the 2 percent. I just moved into one of their properties again. Iam happy to be back with what was a positive experience! Because the landlord I just had it was not! I am glad to be back with District. I also can't understand people saying they are rude ect. They could not do enough for me! I don't believe this negativity!! You know if you are not happy just move out! It does not mean you have to sit there, and trash the company!

Avoid living at any apartment buildings they manage at all cost. Doing even an adequate job. When it comes to maintenance, inside of the units. Seems to be something they're not interested in. If you dare point out any dissatisfaction with waiting over 3 months to have a toilet properly fixed. Even after giving them three attempts to fix it. And then ask that it be completed properly. (They replace the toilet and then left a tile missing from the floor for another month.) They will accuse you of being impossible to satisfy. They charge for visitors parking. The broken ventilation will cause the paint to peel from the wall in your bathroom. About 3 months after you move in. Expect the same of the spray on tile refinishing stuff they use. They will have no interest in addressing any of the issues you might bring to their attention. As opposed to actually repairing things properly their strategy seems to be to say that you're being difficult. Just hang up on you Tell you the person who takes care of these matters is on vacation. And then wait for you to give up. The only reason they're getting two stars from me. Is because the superintendent within my building is doing his best it seems.

Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by the superintendent, John, during our recent move-in experience at the Carillon. From the outset, the attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a seamless transition into my father’s new home was truly remarkable. John went above and beyond to create the best possible move-in experience. His proactive communication and support made the entire process incredibly smooth. Not only did John ensure that the unit was in perfect condition upon our arrival, but he also took the time to walk us through every detail to ensure all of our needs were met. John's professionalism, knowledge, and friendly demeanor made my father feel so comfortable and happy, because that’s the type of person John is, he genuinely cares about every tenant in the building. We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding support and service provided by John. His dedication to ensuring our move-in was nothing short of exceptional speaks volumes about his commitment to tenant satisfaction. This experience has set a high bar, and we are truly excited to be part of the District Realty community where such excellent service is the norm. Ciara

I would like to extend my gratitude and thankfulness to Mr. Christopher Miner who works for District Realty, for all the help, support and his unbelievable patience. I had a problem with my fridge, which started to make over the time, a loud noise, about 15 minutes at every half hour, or better said, at each start of the compressor, and it was not easy at all for me to live for a while in the same space with a such a noisy guy. Mr. Christopher Miner understood my problem, and he changed my fridge to a new one in just a few days. I was extremely amazed and pleased to see the fact that Mr. Christopher got involved and he was acted as if it has been his problem and his house. 97% of the time I was at work, and Mr. Christopher sent me messages with every action of him, and with every step that he took, waiting patiently (a couple of hours many times) for every answer of mine. For everything that Mr. Christopher Miner did for me, as well as for the way he acted, extremely professional and showing in the same time that he really cares, I have only words of thanks and gratitude.

District Realty is THE best. I was desperately trying to secure an affordable apartment for my daughter that is attending UOttawa. I live hours away and found it a very daunting prospect as I could not make it to the area to look around myself. I called District Realty and dealt with Kendrah. She was absolutely amazing. I was nervous about missing out on the right apartment for my daughter and Kendrah assured me that she would keep me posted as to what became available. I must have called her a thousand times with questions and she welcomed my inquires happily. I definitely felt that I had her working for me and with me. We were to deal with Charlie for the “showings” of potential rentals and he was extremely accommodating and also very helpful. Even after we had rented the perfect apartment regarding price point and location, Kendrah and Charlie continue to be fantastic to deal with regarding any concerns we have. This has most definitely been the best (long distance) rental experience! We highly recommend District Realty!

⚠️Caution: they hide information, please do not trust them and never put any deposit before you let your lawyer review all the paperwork. They do not return deposit if you do not agree with their ‘60 pages’ long contract. They are Unresponsive, Terrible agent, and the worst leasing agent I have ever met. We found the landlord information they give us is not existing and do not match the public information. I reached to them several times but there is no response. When I asked the leasing staff Micheal Morin who is the landlord of 1 Nicolas St room 1105B, he refuses to answer and tell us to not reach to the landlord. They asked for my deposit payment in July, Now we do not agree with the contract and request them to return the deposit. They are not returning our deposit, and not replying any messages. If anyone wants to ask for more details please contact me and I will show you all the details.

My daughter moved to Ottawa in August 2019 for late acceptance to University and we rented in a District Realty building. Our first experience was the caring attitude we received from the super John. We were on an extremely tight timeline and he went out of his way to ensure that we not only found housing, but I felt confident leaving my daughter under his "super" vision. The building was still under construction. Issues were quickly addressed and resolved. Shelby, the administrative assistant assigned to our building was an absolute delight - so nice to work with someone who is not only knowledgeable and efficient, but proactive in approach. When medical issues required a short notice move, her assistance was instrumental in getting the apartment sublet quickly. Should the future hold a return to Ottawa, I would not hesitate to work with these folks once again.

District realty has amazing staff that helped me find a fantastic place to rent at 60 daly in the market. They keep the building in good working order and when I had parking issues they were quick and help sort things out and were very accommodative. My super was Christopher Miner who did an amazing job during my time there, when I had a list of stuff to get fixed and a broken toilet he was there immediately and fixed everything, and left things spotless like he was never there. He is very friendly and helpful with anything going on, even at 3am when i was locked out of my appartment once he came and let me in and didnt even complain that I woke him up. Most recently he has contacted me about some mail thats still been going there and arranged to get it to me. This man goes way beyond his job parameters to make sure you are well taken care of. Highly recommend.

Terrible. Just terrible. Rent from anyone else. They messed up our application three times and kept coming back to me for more personal information after they told me they had everything they needed. Finally they made a lease agreement and didn't even have my name on it! After they fixed this, the day we were supposed to move in, they were varnishing floors and resealing the bathtub (which still leaked on the tenant below us, who moved out because of this); the fumes were so bad, we had to stay somewhere else for a week. The apartment was FILTHY when we moved in, even though we were told it would be cleaned first. Now in the winter, they limit our heat ("all included" except you can't go above 18 degree C), we have to run water for a full two minutes before getting hot water, and the repairs we were told would be done over a year ago haven't even been started.

We've been at 360 Frank St. for 3 months and we love it. It's a well kept building. The location (near Bank and Gladstone) is excellent. Our maintenance staff are attentive and very quick to provide service. I've called in a couple of times to have small things fixed and have never waited more than a day to have them addressed. Our resident maintenance person, Ryan, is a polite, respectful young man who can seemingly fix anything! Recently, my stove malfunctioned (beyond repair, it was later determined). A gentleman by the name of John addressed my concern the same day I made the service request and on the spot, put in a call to have the stove replaced. No arguments, no excuses. Tasmia, our office representative is always quick to respond to questions and service requests. We feel like we found a gem when we found this place. Thanks to all at District Realty.

I just wanted to write a message to District Realty to commend John, the gentleman who showed us our apartment at The New Yorker at 335Maclaren and then helped us along the way and with our move in. I’ve seen so many people move and it’s always stressful. The exception was when we moved in to The New Yorker on December 1, 2018, and that is largely thanks to John. He was so welcoming and always smiling. He worked with us right from the start and was incredibly accommodating. There was never a question or an issue that John didn’t make time for. We’ve moved in to our apartment with such confidence in the people who are there to help us when we need it and it’s made all the difference in the world. Thanks so much John! We look forward to continuing to see you! Thanks a lot! Sean Leafloor

I have just moved into an apartment at the Maclaren St.only a few weeks back. It's an ideal location for a student like me with necessities, convenient stores, fine dining, fast food joints, bus commute, right down the street, all in a safe and a friendly neighborhood. The upkeep of my apartment building is pretty decent. My apartment is pretty cosy and comfortable but I was facing some teething troubles, initially, which when brought to their notice were addressed very efficiently and promptly by all their courteous,friendly and very professional staff,especially, the Superintendent, Mr. John. He's very kind, helpful and reliable. Kudos to him. Thank you all for making me feel at home, away from home. - Kahini

The apartments at Lisgar is a great place to live! The place is really beautiful and they seem to continuously be adding upgrades since I've lived here. In addition to all that; its super affordable. The location is unbeatable and soo close to soo many wonderful restaurants. The Super at Lisgar is also exemplary and just really kind. Myself and my family think very highly of the management. Never once had an interaction with the Super that wasn't pleasant. They also genuinely want to make the living experience great. Any time I've ever had an issue, the turnaround for assistance wasn't days or even hours, but minutes. Even helped take care of my pooch when I was in a bind. I can't recommend this place enough.

Absolutely the worst company I have ever had to deal with. Very disorganized told me they would make a decision one day whether or not my application would be approved and took several days. They rejected my application for no reason at all. Handed in all the proper forms and filled out the application within hours of the post online. Credit score is great and income is 4x what the rent is. They accepted someone else that didn’t even hand in all the correct forms. Very unorganized and unprofessional will be reporting to the better business bureau. Been reading over reviews on here as well, they reject lots of applications for no reason at all. Absolutely disgusted with how this company deals with people

District Realty Corporation is the worst property management firm I have had the misfortune to have dealt with. As a tenant in one of their buildings, I had a problem with another tenant who moved in beside me, having parties and keeping me awake until all hours of the morning. This problem was never resolved and in fact District Realty turned it around to try and make it look like I was the one causing all the problems. I had to move out in order to get any peace and quiet. If you are looking for a respectable and professional property management company, stay away from District Realty. They do not care about their tenants, they are only concerned only about their money.

I have rented from a lot of different companies and lived all over the city. District realty has been exceptional at providing top service in a fast and friendly manner. The office staff are very knowledgeable and kind. Always treating my needs with prompt attention. If I ever had any issues pertaining to the apartment, the superintendent was always quick and very friendly. The one time there was a serious issue, he communicated very clearly with me and resolved it within a few hours. He is an exceptional hard worker and a truly rare person. I am very impressed with District Realty. My family and I have been very happy here and are truly going to miss this apartment.

There are too many great things to say about the great condition of the building, the quality of service and the level of dedication to the buildings by District Realty staff especially the Cooper street location. The building is in excellent condition and they are constantly making improvements to the appliances, the communal areas, the decor and the elevators to make it more efficient and comfortable for tenants. The superintendent makes sure everything is running smoothly, maintains the building impeccable, is always available to provide assistance and does so with a smile. I would definitely recommend to check it out as you search for a place to call home.

Worse leasing experience ever. They gave us the wrong number to call upon the showing which was unprofessional. They are extremely rude and dismissive when you try to get your security deposit back. If you are a young professional, don’t bother with this company! They won’t treat you with the same respect, and will ask for a parent to co-sign. They should not assume that everyone is depended, nor assume that a guarantor would be a parent. On top of this, they said our application looked perfect, and said we would not have issues. For only their manager to turn around and ask for a guarantor. This gives false hope, and should not be said.

We have been a commercial tenant of Carling Corporate Centre at 2255 Carling for over 6 years. During that time, we have been very very happy with the Property Management services of District Realty. The onsite Building Manager, Gus Vrieling, has always responded quickly and efficiently to our requests for service. The Property Manager Michael Morin has made our overall rental experience a very positive one. From day one, he has been open to our ideas for the space and we often get compliments on the quality of the fit up and innovative decor in our suite. I would heartily recommend District as a Commercial Property Manager.,

District Realty is by far the best appt company I've ever dealt with. I have been a tenant for years now and I am constantly beyond happy with their service. Tasmia, John, Albeen, Ryan, Louisa, the whole team is wonderful. They are all great at what they do and it is apparent that they truly care about their job and the tenants. Tasmia is very professional and always gets back to me with any question I have. Albeen is always there to answer my call, help with whatever I need, big or small. Everyone is knowledgeable and friendly. The building is well-maintained and the price is unbeatable. Thank you guys for everything you do!

From the very first conversation I had with John Harte, I knew the type of person he would be, and I was right. John is very helpful and accommodating. He did everything possible to make finding the right apartment as stress free as possible; and it was. The location is great. John doesn’t mind taking the time to answer any questions or resolve any issues. He is genuinely glad to see you and is extremely friendly. Ryan, the superintendent for the building, is also great. Very polite and eager to help. My stay in Ottawa so far has only been a short one, but I feel confident that I will enjoy staying here. Yvette H Ottawa

Re: 250 Besserer Street, Ottawa. Leah Desjardins, the property administrator, has been great to my daughter who rented an apartment there to study at U of Ottawa. She was courteous and efficient in processing her application for an apartment. John Harte, Superintendent, took over from there. does a great job at 250 Besserer street. he goes above and beyond to assist all tenants there. Last few days have been pretty busy for John as most students take possession of their apartments but he keeps a smiling face and helps everybody with ease. A big thank you for all the staff there with John. Paran Namasivayam

I recently moved away from Ottawa but wanted to leave a review for the Carillon. I lived there for just under a year but if I were still in Ottawa there’s no place I’d rather be. The location is great, right downtown, the rent is reasonable, and the units are clean, well-lit, and come with heat and A/C included. Most importantly, the superintendent, John, is amazing. He regularly goes above and beyond for his tenants. He always addressed problems quickly and always had a moment for a chat no matter how busy things got. Overall, the Carillon is a safe, welcoming building and I miss it already.

District reality on Cooper over the past 6 years has been really great. A full 5 Stars for the recent Superintendent of 6 years, he is always available to help and always with a pleasant attitude whenever I have a problem or question. I've lived here for close to 20 years and there have been many nice changes recently with new elevators, storage area for bikes, new laundry machines, excellent snow removal, upgrades in common areas, kept clean, quiet neighbours and a beautifully manicured garden out front for the past few years. Wonderful job, keep up the good work! :)

I live in a newly renovated unit at the New Yorker apartments. They even provided a new fridge and stove for the unit. Both John and Ryan were very helpful in getting me all settled in as well as addressing minor issues with the unit (door closer needing adjusting, kitchen cabinet door required closing latch). Both issues were fixed right away the same day. Overall the apartments are quiet and clean which is very nice. John and Ryan are very friendly and are quick to respond to any issues that one may have. District Realty give these guys a raise they deserve it!

We live on Maclaren and over the Christmas Holidays we cat sat for my mother. The cat found its way into the wall where the plumbing comes out of the wall. We called Ryan, one of the supers, and he came late in the evening to help get the cat out of the wall. We were extremely grateful to get the cat back alive and well. Also our fridge died last week, they ordered us a new one and even got us another fridge from an empty unit in the meantime. District realty really makes the effort and goes above and beyond to make sure their tenants are well looked after.

District Realty is one of the few trustworthy property management companies in Ottawa. After having a terrible experience, District Realty helped set me up quickly with an apartment that fit all my needs. They gave me personalized attention when I was in a tricky spot, and have been incredibly responsive to my every small request. Superintendent John has been a particular joy to interact with! My building is safe, the neighbours come vetted, and I can tell the employees at District Realty take pride in their work. It definitely makes the difference.

Just moved into a District Realty unit, and everything has gone very smoothly and professionally. Everyone I have dealt with - John, Shelby and Ryan - has been excellent. John is always accessible by phone, and knows everything. Shelby turns paperwork and emails around right away. And Ryan did an awesome job getting the unit cleaned up for move in, especially given the short notice. It has been a massive relief to have everything go so well - in comparison, the local slumlords and kijiji people were a complete nightmare.

I have been pleased with my apartment in Sandy Hill managed by District Realty. I have been a tenant for 2 years and would have been happy to stay indefinitely if I hadn't had an opportunity to move close to family. This is an older building but it is well managed and looked after. My contacts with everyone, including Shelby and Tasmia has been very pleasant and helpful. Rent is affordable and the downtown location is close to buses, the O-Train, the Byward Market, shopping and entertainment of all kinds!

I’ve lived in one of the District Realty apartment complexes for 10 years now I’ve had nothing but 10 out of 10 service each and every time. The girls in the office are always pleasant to speak with, and the workers on site always very accommodating. The building is always clean, they continuously over the years upgrade the look of the building and any repairs that are needed are met with great results. I will always live in one of District realty’s apartments while living in Ottawa.

My wife and I are moving from Vancouver to Ottawa. Searching and securing an accommodation have been really challenging on a distance basis until we came across the District Realty. Shelby and Tasmia from this company have been superb in handling our application. We are very impressed by their professionalism, attentiveness, patience and kindness. We wholeheartedly thank both of them. It has been a great experience to begin with and we look forward to moving to our new place soon.

I’ve lived in my building for over a year now. We’re on our third superintendent. Can’t say enough good things about Chris Miner. Does the best job, with what he has. Friendly, engaging, knowledgeable. District Realty should be so lucky. The outside environment isn’t all that welcoming, but inside the building is safe, warm and inviting. My five star rating is for the superintendent. You’re doing a hell of job Chris. In case no ones told you lately. Keep up the good work.

I am thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail that the agents of District Realty have shown in helping me find a new apartment. John, Itza and Nicole in particular were fantastic and went to extra effort to show me the various properties owned by District Realty. The buildings themselves all appear to be well kept and reasonably priced given the many amenities offered. I am very excited to move into my new District Realty building soon!

I just moved into the Carillon recently, and the experience was smooth and professional. Given limitations caused by the pandemic, those parts of the process that could not be handled in person were done quite thoroughly by email and phone. The apartment itself was clean and well-organised. A microwave oven and a shower curtain were included. John, the Superintendent, showed me around the place and was very helpful throughout the stressful process of moving in.

I have lived with District Realty for going on 2 years. The building is clean and well managed. Recently spoke to customer service about subleasing the space and the response was very helpful! Only drawback is that they (or the building’s owners) seem eager to bump up rent every legal method possible, including through the tenant board. Every few months we get some notice of intended increase. Would still recommend, at least for my property, given its location!

Honestly I had a great time living at my rental apartment. It was an older building so bad many quirks but anything that could be feasibly done by the management group was done quickly and professionally. Especial shoutout to my landlord John who was incredible throughout my stay here and was always extremely quick and helpful and fixing whatever issues I had. If you're staying with district realty and John is your landlord then you know you're in good hands.

I've lived with District for over a year and a half and I have never had a problem with management. Notices for fire tests and maintenance were always delivered in a timely manner. Whenever we needed help with maintenance (which was not often), they were always on top of everything. Lobbies are always kept clean, staff is extremely friendly especially their leasing agent, Shelby. She was an absolute gem with helping our move-in process and move-out process.

We at TRUEdotDESIGN have been leasing commercial office space from District Realty for 3 years and counting. Our experience has been nothing but positive. They were flexible during our fit-up stage and allowed us to create an office space to suit our needs as a creative agency. Our building is well managed and maintained, and our Property Manager, Simon, is always responsive and attentive to our needs. We would recommend District Realty without a doubt!

I've lived in a unit taken care of by District Reality for 3 years and overall i've had a great experience. Most recently, I was having issues with my fridge and John was exceptional. Not only was he responsive and understanding, but he expedited the process of getting a replacement within a matter of days. Anytime i've needed something, John has taken care of me, and I am grateful for that. Thank you John and District Reality for your hospitality.

I have lived at 335 Cooper St. for over 20 years. The building has always been well maintained and clean. I have never experienced any problems and have really enjoyed living here. This is due to John, our superintendent, who through friendly service was always there to help out. He is one of the main reasons I will miss this apartment. I am moving to another city, but if I were not, I would definitely be staying. Thanks for a good experience.

I had such a difficult time trying to find an affordable and available apartment in Ottawa, until I found one with District Realty. The superintendent was very friendly and even let us apply for 2 separate apartments in case someone ended up applying before us. The lady that contacted us about everything we needed was also very friendly, efficient, and clear with what we needed to do. The process was very efficient.

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing experience with John. We went for a viewing at an apartment we didn’t really like, and afterwards he asked us what it was we didn’t like. When we told him it was too small, he grabbed his notebook and immediately brought us to another place down the road. It was perfect! We sent in our application and got accepted next day. Would HIGHLY recommend John and district realty!!

Thanks to John(Superintendent),I feel safe and comfortable in a New country . Very good service and timely service by the the team. Superintendent is very kind and goes extra miles and helps us feel home. I had toilet clog,he came to my recuse as soon as possible and fixed it. Also,I had to call late in evening for internet router, still he was available to fix them for me .wonderful service by District Realty.

Very professional, nice and helpful staff. It was a delight to be a tenant at the Carillon, Cooper St managed by District Realty. A special thanks to John, the superintendent, who does his best by being responsive every time I had a question, an issue or anytime I needed help. If I have to live in Ottawa again, I would definitely contact District Realty again. Thank you for everything!

We stayed at a friends place on Lisgar for 2 months, the Super (John) was awesome. We moved over to 335 MacLaren recently and as always, John and his crew are amazing, our move was so easy, no stress, they were there for us for any questions, concerns etc. We love it at our new forever home with great Superintendents. Thank you John and crew for all you do!!

I have been with District Realty for about a year now and I am thrilled with the experience and more specifically the customer service. Christopher Miner is my Super and is incredible. He is always available and quick to respond. He is super helpful, accommodating, and always fixes things in a timely fashion. Definitely would recommend renting from them!

I've been at 335 Cooper for the past 4 years and it's been such a pleasure living here. It's clean, the employees are all so wonderful and helpful and the placement of the building is perfect and walking distance from everything downtown. Plus, as a student, this place is affordable considering how good the conditions are and how well kept it is.

2 months in a row they have charged me rent when they were not supposed to (I terminated my lease). I am paying rent at another location (where I currently live) and this is the second time in a row that I have been forced to delay my rent payment at my current location because District Realty has wrongly taken my money. This is unprofessional.

Absolutely loved having District Realty as my Realtor, they are quick and prompt to all emails and make every thing as smooth as it can possibly be moving in / out! Heart breaking leaving but who knows what the future holds- Big shout out to John!! He is an absolute beauty- best superintendent you could ask for! They are 100 % there for you :)

Have had good experiences with District Realty apartments at two different locations. Would give 4 stars for my experience overall, but 5 stars to Kimberley at the head office who was a tremendous help when needed most, and 5 stars to John, the Superintendent at 335 Cooper, one of the kindest & most helpful people I've ever met!

Landing a good place to rent can be difficult. When I moved to Ottawa, it was quite a challenge to get a good location that was comfortable for my family. District Realty was very accommodating and property management that you can work with. Our Super is awesome, very approachable and easy to work with solving any problem.

Thank you for your services and courteousness during my lease term. I really liked District Realty's services especially John & Ryan were amazing throughout my stay. If I hadn't bought my own place, I would have definitely extended my stay with your organization for another year. You guys deserve a 5-star rating. :)

District realty has been easy to contact and work with. More so my superintendent John Hart is fantastic. I've never once had trouble reaching him and he always addresses issues in a timely and satisfactorily manner. As well as being available and helpful he is also friendly and always greeting you with a smile.

John of 341 Maclaren went above and beyond his job duties when he accommodated our schedule during his day off to help us find a place to rent in the building. He was very friendly and helpful. We are are very thankful and blessed to have him as part of the management looking after our new home in Ottawa.

360 Frank street has some of the best/caring staff I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with! Specifically, Ryan and John who quickly dealt with any issues that arose such as leaky faucets, running toilets, etc. It's a pleasure to have selected this building to reside at as the staff are quite caring.

John Harte and his staff were excellent and professional at all times. We were able to process our papers very quickly and efficiently for my nephew travelling internationally. He was very accommodating and supportive at all times during the process. Thank you for the support John. Juanita (Ottawa)

As a Tenant at 411 North River Road, the presence of Bilge Yondem has been a great addition to the building. To date, I have found Bilge to be very professional, organized and respectful. Her initiatives are a great contribution to the overall management of this building. A grateful tenant, Pete B.

Louisa and her team (Steven and Ryan) were incredibly helpful in finding me an apartment. I was contacted back within hours and they took the time to show me multiple units in different buildings until I found the right fit. They were professional, patient and friendly through the whole process.

Finding an apartment amidst the Covid crisis was fairly daunting but hats off to Shelby and John for making the process ridiculously simple. They were proactive throughout the process, and took great care in making my moving extremely stress free. Kudos to you guys and keep up the great work!

District Realty has been very helpful in my search for an apartment for my niece. The leasing agent Shelby is compassionate, efficient and totally professional throughout the entire process. In addition, Chris Miner has also been super helpful regarding the move-in details. Thank you both!

I lived on 2929 carling for almost a year now and the price was amazing. the apartment was huge for a 1 bedroom the superintendant was great and always professional. All in all it was an excellent experience. My only note would be the apartment building was a little smoky in the winter.

I would like to acknowledge that this is one of the best rental unit we have ever lived in. The support from the staff has been amazing and we surely will remember this place in the future. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hassle free and amazing experience.

Great service. The apartments are clean and anytime i came up with any issues, everything was taking care of as soon as possible. All the staff i have come across especially Kimberly Armstrong, are very professional and ready to help. I would recommend their services to anyone.

My son just got his first apartment with District Realty at 335 MacLaren. Thanks for the excellent service provided by John and Albeen thé move when very smoothly. They were (and still are) always available to help my son in a rapid and efficient way. Thanks guys! Lucie & Max

Had a great year dealing with District Realty at 250 Besserer St. They were quick to help me out with anything I needed and I would recommend renting with them to anyone. John from District Realty is a gem and the most helpful property manager that I have ever dealt with.

Would like to say that I had exceptional service from Emeh Essien. She was kind, super polite and accommodating. I have heard great things about District Realty and my first impression was through her. I would highly recommend their services within commercial leasing.

We leaved in a condo of District Realty for two years. Ryan was the super intended of our building - Ryan is a good guy, sociable, helpful and always with a smile. But above all he is very professional, responsible and always ready to help with any problem we had !!

Big thanks to District Realty for a smooth apartment viewing and leasing process. John and Clark were exceedingly helpful and take great care in managing their properties. Shelby at the office has been lovely and timely. Much appreciated, thank you, District Realty!

I am a huge fan of District Realty in Ottawa. They continue to invest in new elevators, new paint, an additional washing machine, flowers out front and the best superintendent team I've ever seen! The super's service is the reason I chose to live in a DR property!

Leah, Mia, Jennifer and the team were very kind and helpful. From facilitating the move-in process to making us feel comfortable throughout. They were patient and willing to answer all of our questions in a timely manner. I would Highly recommend District Realty.

I had an amazing experience with District Realty! I loved my unit and whenever I had an issue with the place, the superintendent (Ryan - who is awesome!) was on the problem immediately! District Realty is extremely responsive and managed the building wonderfully.

District Realty is an excellent, professional company to work with. I changed roommates multiple times, and they were flexible with the switching process. I lived in my building for almost two years, and any problem that came up was fixed quickly. Thank you!

Great renting company with great employees ! Leah Desjardins she’s one of them, a great professional, always prompt in answering your requests. she took care of my application from ground to the final step in less than 3 business day. thanks Leah and Mia!

Living in 335 Cooper St. apartment building has been a great experience for the past few years. In particular, John, the building superintendent, is very helpful and friendly and has certainly contributed in making the overall experience even better.

John. The caretaker/ property manager at Carillon, 335 Cooper Street is fantastic. Always helps with anything you need. Was reassuring, checked in to make sure all was ok. If ever anything needed repairing it was taken care of. Highly recommend.

I lived in a District Realty apartment for 5 years and had a great experience! I wouldn't have given up my apartment if I wasn't moving to another city. Special thanks to John, the superintendent, who took great care of the lobby and other

I have had a wonderful experience with the team at District Realty. Specifically, Shelby, a Residential Property Administrator has been incredibly helpful and on the ball in helping me finalize the lease for my first apartment in Ottawa :)

Ryan Gordon is our Superintendant and has been extremely helpful since day 1. Whatever we need he takes care of right away. Ryan keeps the common spaces clean and is very responsive to anything that needs fixing. I would highly recommend.

If I can give negative infinity rating, I would definitely give NEGATIVE INFINITY rating to this suck. I paid $7.5 for the money order that are required when I submitted an application. After I submitted all the required documents, they

Special Thanks to Christopher Miner. It was his day off and when we asked him to unclog our sink he didn’t hesitate. He even noticed our toilet seat wasn’t tightened and fixed it for us. He was very friendly! Great Customer service!

District Realty definitely knows how to manage their properties. I had nothing but a great experience when I was a tenant with them. Great service and extremely helpful employees. Would recommend to a close friend/family member 100%

The staff have been great to deal with and I feel lucky to live in a place where the property manager and staff care about their tenants. The building is well maintained and always clean - its really been a great experience so far.

Great experience finding and acquiring apartment.. Nicole and Richard were very pleasant and knowledgeable about their buildings. Shelby in head office kept the whole procedure on track and flowing. Thanks to all of them.

Great experience renting an apartment with District Realty. Tasmia was always responsive and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Arthur is a great superintendent and was very accommodating when I moved out.

I had a great experience with District Realty! Shelby was very responsive and professional whenever I had questions during my tenancy. Building was clean and well managed. I would definitely recommend renting with them!

Ryan at 170 Metcalfe was an amazing help when I needed him. From changing a light bulb to fixing my dishwasher I knew I could count on him to get things done professionally and efficiently. Keep up the good work Ryan!

The best part about living in the Cooper St apartment is without a doubt John the Superintendent. He's always there when you need something. He keeps the building clean and safe. The location is perfect.

District Realty has really impressed us with their professionalism and incredible customer service, special to John H. for all the great help. Looking forward to many great experiences. Thank You.

Lived here for over 4 years with my partner, never had an issue. Don and Nicole were always great. Location is ideal for Carleton students. Also close to the Arboretum which speaks for itself.

Just moved in to 335 Maclaren. John has been exceptionally helpful from the start. He is always quick to respond, and goes out of his way to help you out. Absolutely a great guy to deal with

No problems getting my lease signed and everything finished within just 2 days. I started the process on Monday and was done by Wednesday morning. Super happy with the results. Thanks Shelby

Shout out to superintendent John @ 335 Cooper St, makes the place feel like a real home. Goes out of his way to help and make things easier for his tenants. Very friendly and hardworking.

I want to give a special shout-out to Liz, Oscar, and John from the property management team. Their commitment to excellence made my renting experience truly outstanding. Thank you

I've lived at my place for a year now and everything so far has been great. Superintendents have been extremely helpful, especially Chris Miner! Super friendly and accommodating!

Leah was so helpful and patient! She explained everything clearly, provided clear information and responded to all emails very quickly. Great experience!
