Alto Tower Apartments

The building manager, Nicollet, was a wonderful person, professional and responds quickly and efficiently to any questions or issues and was kind to the very end when we moved in . Loved the place. Clean, Cozy, beautiful, modern and had mostly retired people living in there so it was always nice and quiet as well. I recommend it to everyone I know.

It's only been a month and a half but we are happy we made the choice to move to the Alto Towers. Everyone we have dealt with has been friendly and accommodating. Voula was great as we tried to decide if this was the right move for us. She has been so easy and pleasant to work with. The same goes for Shane, the building manager. Whenever we need something he's there for us. We look forward to living here for many years.

I have found the staff to be very friendly and welcoming. Shawna, Nana and Roman keep the building clean and spotless every day. Shane-Michael has a pleasant presence and is constant resource. The quality of building material and appliances is top quality. Would highly recommend Alto II to anyone considering apartment living.

Like many of the people that live in this building, we sold our house and moved into this apartment having never lived in an apartment before. We chose this apartment for three reasons: 1) we like the location, 2) it is a new building and 3) the building is smoke free. We find that our building is kept very clean. The cleaning staff are constantly washing the hall floors and vacuuming the carpets. The management and staff are very friendly. For the most part, the residents are also friendly. We find that periodically people do smoke on their balconies and some dogs bark in their apartment for hours on end. In hindsight we should have chosen a building that is pet free. We’ve even seen our neighbours above us dump (what we think is) water off their balcony on ours. This is no fault of management and they address it promptly when notified about it. Nevertheless it’s impossible to stay on top of it.
We have our underground parking spot so parking is never an issue for us. But we can’t understand why there are so many handicap spots in the visitor parking lot. Out of 24 available spots, 9 are designated as handicap. That’s 38 per cent. The by-law is from 1 to 12 spots you need one for handicap. From 13 to 100 spots you need 4 per cent. I’ve rarely ever seen any more than two vehicles parked in the handicap spots at any one time. It’s frustrating when we have company over, register them in the 1Valet parking system, and when they get here there’s no visitor parking available so they have to park at No Frills, yet there’s many handicap spots available. Since the parking spots are not clearly marked, many times I’ve seen two vehicles take up three spots. I would suggest to Alto to paint lines on the ground to clearly identify each parking spot including the handicaps.
After living in a detached house for over 40 years, we’re not accustomed to living in such close quarters with so many people. Over all I would say that our experience has been a pleasant one. We are cognizant of our neighbours so we are mindful about excessive noise. But not everyone exercises the same courtesy. We don’t know what the people are doing above us but there is constant banging on their floor which is our ceiling. We do our best to tolerate it and the other noise that they generate on a daily basis.
Thank you for allowing us to be your tenants. We look forward to staying here and making this our home.

Love our apartment in Alto 2. Beautiful apartment with nice finishes and good appliances. Love our view and the balcony facing north. Onsight manager Shane-Michael is awesome - very responsive and helpful. Have only needed one repair so far and it was handled the same day I let them know about the issue. Love the dog park (although do agree that it would be good to do something about the drainage). Cleaning staff do a fantastic job and are very friendly. Love the amenities especially the gym and the roof top terrace. Tenants are generally quiet but friendly. A little noise from stompy stomp upstairs at times but that's all we ever hear and we're getting used to it. Please make temp settings a little cooler in the fall and winter- much easier to put a sweater on than to cool down a hot apartment at night. All in all we absolutely love it here.

Our move from a high rise condo to the Alto II Tower Apartments was a very good choice. We found that our unit is very comfortable, with a great North view. We can see the water tower in Ilderton from our unit.
The staff and management are ready to assist with any needs in a friendly manner.
As normal, whether in a condo or apartment, if only some of the residents were as considerate as the staff and management . This would really make our apartment a 5 star building.

Over the past year I have lived in Alto tower 1, personally I have had a good experience and if I didn’t buy a house I would have stayed long term. The owners are top shelf along with the Managment team. They care and this is their first build so I would like to say well done. I am excited to see what the future brings for York Dev. These towers are beautiful and I enjoy the dog park and how close I am to get groceries. I would recommend to my friends and family. Thanks alto team for the great year
