We absolutely loved living at DeSales. The office staff and maintenance team is amazing! Nothing negative to say. We only moved out because we were looking to buy a house. Great location on top of everything else (cute little shops and restaurants around, close to everything)! Highly recommend :)

Been living at DeSales Flats I for the past year and half, and absolutely love it. The staff have all been wonderful and super attentive to any issues brought to them. They are super friendly and have an open door policy. Being super close to downtown is also such a convenience and it is an affordable place to live!
