Great place to live as a student at [the] UofA. I lived here for 2 years during my graduate program - staff is friendly and professional, building is clean, community is nice and had no issues with maintenance or deposit returns....for the price and community, it was worth it. Would recommend.

Tammy and Amanda at the rental office are the sweetest! They always have a smile on their faces and always greet my dog Zora with pets and treats any day they see her.

We have been living here for the last 2 years and we couldn't be happier. As UofA students, the location cannot be better. Being near Whyte avenue and the River Valley allows many options to disconnect from the academic life. As dog owners, the fact that the building is pet friendly (with no restriction in size) is a big big plus. Finally, but not least, the managing staff has always been great with us. Lucky to be here!

The staff are very friendly and very helpful. The rent is very reasonable, and any maintenance issues are taken care of right away. Garneau Towers is a great place to live. We are two blocks from the LRT and are on many bus routes, as well as very close to the UofA Hospital, and the UofA campus.
