I live in the Crest apartment. I so enjoy it. We have a lovely entrance all decorated for Christmas. Yes, even though it snowed and they had to do the walkways and sidewalks numerous times a day. Wednesday we are having a Christmas social with prizes, sandwiches, and beverages, all hosted by the management. It is a community neighbourhood, that just happens to be an apartment. All are welcome, young, old, babies, children, dogs, cats, and the occasional bunny. It was the best decision I made to come here.

Would not recommend renting here, we moved here from across Canada and needed a place to live while searching for a house and it was a big mistake. Within the first month of being there we witnessed a break in to the ground floor apartment in the middle of the afternoon and some of the tenants here are very noisy. We spent many sleepless nights over our almost one year at this apartment complex. As time passed here the maintenance went downhill. There were stains in hallways for months, even someone’s mucus just below the elevator button. Once we finally found a house to buy we had to break our lease and found out just how painful this can be. When we moved in we were told verbally that to break the lease was simply a months notice. Because the staff knew we were house hunting, we never looked into it. However, it ended up we had to pay the rent to the end of our lease unless they could rent it out, which they did not achieve given the current economy and rental climate. We later found out they also require hydro to be paid until the end, regardless of occupancy. Between the time we moved and prior to our official closing date at the apartment, I returned to collect the rest of my belongings and they had contractors in my apartment with zero notice or consent to enter or my hydro. Leaving me responsible for paying the hydo for the they did while I wasn’t there. I would like to state I left the apartment in the same condition I got it, I always paid my rent on time, and was a good tenant. I’m not looking for sympathy, but I would like to share this experience so that someone may think twice before making this same mistake. In an economy that is entering a recession I hope maybe this review will help somebody with the decision to rent here or not.

Bill, Nathan & Allison are absolutely fabulous! We’re so grateful to the superb management team at the Crest Apartments in beautiful Nanaimo, BC! What an incredible community of neighbours. Keep up the fantastic work team.

I have been at The Crest Apartments for just over 2 years and have been totally impressed. The building is clean and very well maintained. The landscaping is pleasing and always looks nice.
Love that children and pets are both welcome here, I don't have any of either but believe they make it feel more like home and not the cold sterile places many apartments are. As well the great decorating of the lobby and other public areas for special occasions such as Easter, Christmas etc.add to that feeling, also the gift draws.
Most of all the management are terrific - professional, helpful, friendly and they deal with any issues quickly and competently. This is altogether a super place to live.

I've just celebrated my 1 year anniversary at The Crest Apartments. I can't believe I still feel like I'm at a timeshare. Very welcoming on-site staff, well cared for, celebrating all holidays with decorations and the landscaping is so well cared for it could win an award. The inside shared areas are as well maintained as the outside. This is my neighbourhood and I will be here for a long time as I have made many new friends. We have a welcoming environment for all ages, babies to seniors, as well as our fur babies.

The staff here are great! Always available to help you in any way they can. If you have any problems they will either fix whatever is broken or replace it right away. I recently mentioned to them that I was having trouble with the button which turns on the fan in my bathroom. It wasn't actually broken but was annoying as sometimes I had to push the button 2 or 3 times before it would stay on. Clarence came up right away and replaced it. Once replaced I realized that it had been gradually getting worse over time and I really hadn't noticed how bad it was. Now it works great! Thanks Clarence!

One of the cleanest, best managed apartments I ever lived in. Both landlords were always available, kind and helpful.

I lived in the building for 5 years, it was a great place to live. The Apartment came with all the essential appliances one needs to stay self sufficient. Building us very quiet you hardly hear the Apartments on either side. The management is great too very easy to work with. I would recommend living here

Great place to live especially if you have pets. Well managed by very friendly support staff and they always treat my concerns with care. I highly recommend for first timers to Nanaimo since it is close to downtown, bus stops and shopping. You can't go wrong living here.

Great location and an awesome building. *Handicap accessible building - level parking lot with exceptional snow removal and care. This place is fairly newly constructed, meaning it's bright and clean. Nice gym, two elevators, and lots of extra storage to rent if needed. The suites are nice and the on site manager Bill is absolutely top notch. He is a guy who cares and it shows. If you ever have any concerns, he is always there to listen and do his best to resolve the situation. This building has a real sense of community I haven't seen in the other places I've lived. We have raffles, bbq's, pizza nights, etc.all to get to know our neighbors better. It is not the cheapest place you can rent, no doubt. But i feel I get good value here. I can also agree that the road-facing units are noisier, but I definitely don't mind enough to move. I have a beautiful view of the harbor and wouldn't trade it for the bit of noise. I highly recommend this place to anyone. It's majority seniors or working adults but as always, shared housing has all walks of life. Although, the higher rental price itself usually means a good class of neighbors.
