As charming and efficient as the property manager is, and friendly the maintenance staff; Somerset Pointe/Weidner is a heartless business with a high turnover rate with tenants.
Every year I've lived here, they have increased my rent $400+/year (over $800 in two years. That's unreasonable.) (as well as my neighbors). And we are quiet, non-smoking adults (mid 30s early 40s) who do our best to be neighborly and welcoming as community members should be. (We do have a friendly community. Management included.)
Every month, someone is moving in/out. But even then, there are fees. So the company doesn't lose money. They are smart.
This is a 20 year old building with old appliances and old carpet/cupboards/showers/toilets, etc. It has constant water leaks/shut downs. Occasional bed bug / carpet bug problem. Management does their best, but it's part of living in an old building.
As much as I respect the management and staff here. I do not recommend living here. The rent hike is too much. I don't believe it's up to management. It's a large american business.
It's a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with little crime. But there are a lot of homeless. More than other parts of the city because we are the "end of the line" for public transit.
So when they get kicked off the train at night, they are wandering here, sneaking into our parkade and garbage building. (So, don't leave valuables in the open, or in your car)
Management will likely read this. They are efficient that way. I'm sorry this review is negative. But I hope you understand that I'm being truthful. This is an old building which should be desirable for low income families. It hurts seeing my neighbors suffer. (single mothers, elderly, fixed income.)
Plus, I feel I was tricked too. I never would have moved in if I knew the yearly rent renewal cost was so unreasonable. People deserve to know before choosing to live here.
Now that it's hard to find another place to live, we (my neighbors/friends included) feel we are stuck here.
Weidner (I don't blame our property manager) is taking advantage of it's tenants. It's unethical. The Alberta Government has no limit/cap on rent increases and Weidner is taking advantage with every building it owns in Alberta.
So... avoid ANY Weidner property. You feel like you're a community member, but you are just an income/account number.

We had an amazing experience living at this apartment.
The maintenance staff is really nice and helpful and everything is located nearby including and not limited to grocery, banks, restaurants and CTrain.
Definitely would recommend this to anyone.

Very nice apartments at reasonable price at excellent location. Train station, stores and library is near by. Manager and maintenance staff are wonderful. Courteous, helpful and all maintenance requests are addressed on time.
It's a nice place to live. The location is very good and the rent is very reasonable. Ctrain station, Walmart, school, library are very convenient nearby. The management and staff are great and I really like it here.

I lived @ Somerset Pointe homes for 2 years, and it was a great experience. If I had an issue, it was resolved immediately. Annie and Tomas were so great and always helpful. Highly recommend this as a place to call home.
I've had an amazing experience with Annie!!! I was looking for an apartment in Calgary while living in Edmonton. Annie took my case and was lightning fast with her
responses. We filled out all appropriate paper work and everything was quickly set up for our move. Upon arrival, our move in was smooth and everything went as expected.
Thank you for your professionalism and efficiency!!!
