Blair House - Rez-One

Very good and relatively new residential place for students. Few steps from Univ of Waterloo, bus station and food places. Enough parking for the visitors. Entrance protected by securing with key fob for residents. Rooms have bathrooms attached for each individual. Three bedroom suites are little more convenient than four because there is only one fridge in unit. Kitchen and common room are very spacious with a sofa in it.

They won't turn on the AC until the end of May/beginning of June. Be mindful if you are living here during the summer months. Good luck sitting in your 30+ degrees room without AC. I am sure "opening your window" help so much

The best heat-preserving structure you can find in Waterloo. What kind of genius designer made such apartments that preserve a room temperature at 29 degree Celsius when outside is only 18 degree Celsius.

You must get a full year lease here if you want to contribute something to a carbon neutral tomorrow. Rez-one has been dedicated into reducing carbon emission by not providing AC cooling at their promised date in summer (which is today! Yeah!) and disabling heating system for Fergus House for the entire winter.

They also made these apartments airtight even when you open your window. There won't be any air flow around your window even when trees were bended by the strong gale before a thunderstorm, must be the safest place during a gas war. What a good way to commemorate WWI!

The construction yard right next to Blair House, Fergus House and Hespeler House will wake you up at 8.30 a.m. Precisely! Best place to live in if you love morning classes.

Rez-one, the BEST apartment you can find in UW region!

-after their reply-
Though they claim that they turned on AC on May 26th, i measured the temperature of several different AC outlet, room temperature and the temperature at the window when outside is 18 degrees Celsius. The only ac outlet that's cooling is the one in the corridor blowing at 19 degrees, the rest of them in your suite just give back what ever you've already have in your room.

Have some faith in your constructions, they preserved a room temperature at 28 degree days before when it was only 2 degrees outside. They didn't turn on heating for entire winter yet successful meet their 20 degree goal.

I lived at Blair for 2 years and I think it's the best option for students that are willing to pay. First & foremost, the location is unmatched. Directly across from E5 & E7, in-building access to Sharetea & Ken Sushi, & near many restaurants. Blair also has pool tables, a study area, a laundry area, and a gym. If you ask the Fergus security/reception, you can get access to their larger gym. Blair House also has several other features that I think give it an edge over ICON (where I've also lived) :
- bright interiors, en-suite washrooms, and large rooms
- no carpets (my ICON floor carpet smelled like lasagna & barf for a month)
- large in-suite common area (a proper table to eat at) and sofas to hang out with roommates
- wifi included

I had a few concerns while living at Blair but in general, my problems were quickly solved by building management. These issues are likely to arise anytime you live in a shared building (e.g. Fruit flies from neighbours leaving trash out, gym equipment getting broken). It was beneficial to build a relationship with building management (in particular the property manager, Grace). I recommend Blair House to any of my friends because of its excellent location, facilities, and comfortable living environment.

The best student housing with en suite bathroom in twin cities Kitchener Waterloo, the quality and services for the prices they’re offering are unmatchable, highly recommended for students, amazing friendly helping staff, also in terms of cleanliness it’s maintained on daily basis

DO NOT LIVE IN THIS PLACE. The manager scolds the tenants if your roommates leave stuff in the common area, even if you don't even know each other. Lived there for one year and experienced 4 hot water shortages, 2 were happened during winter. The maintenance only came after 3-4 days.

Clean, spacious and good service. No complaints.
Much better than icon. Also there’s a table tennis + pool table!

As we are used to using a single bathroom per person in India, my son was overwhelmed with the accommodation. Big room, a big closet, a proper washroom, with good security, no noice pollution. SAME AS OUR HOUSE ON INDIA.
MY SON IS IN BRIDGEPORT HOUSE on the fifth floor. He is adamant that he has ordered me that he would be staying there for next 5 years. Hats off to Rez-One that a finicky person like my son is soo impressed.

Signed my lease with Brendon last year who made it hassle free, the rooms are really high quality!

There was waste coming up from the toilet nonstop for several day. When we tried to contact the manager, she just ignored us.

I've lived here for almost one year. I think Blair House is the best place to live in because the living environment is amazing and the equipments are advanced. Blair House staff are warm-hearted. Meanwhile, It's so close to the campus. Tenants are almost from the university of waterloo, so you can enjoy your university life here.

Great place to live with ensuite bathroom for every room! The service received from the management team is fast and responsive as well.

This is a wonderful place to live. I have been in Waterloo for three years and I have lived here for three years. The officer here are very nice and kind. They are always patient when dealing with my problems and their work efficiency is always in a high quality. I get in touch with Grace, one of the best staffs in the building, and she found my missing package in a short time.

A very good place to live. The stuff are friendly and helpful that they offer you tenant services very quickly when you need help.

This place has a very good environment and complete facilities. The services and staffs are also nice and sweet here. Love it！：）
