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!

My friends and I have been staying in this apartment since September 2021. Merideth who works at the rental office is so welcoming and super kind to talk to and super friendly. We would definitely love to stay here for another year as we felt at home. Highly recommended!!!

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.

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.

Lived here while working at the hospital—easy walk, even in poor weather. Also an easy walk to Whyte Avenue...I always felt safe and the office staff and building employees were always very helpful and friendly whenever I needed anything and I wouldn’t hesitate to live there again if I move back to Edmonton.
