Heatherwood Apts

I lived here for just over 3 years. It was very comfortable and enjoyable. We had a 2 bedroom/​1bath, upstairs with vaulted ceiling, fireplace, AC in all units, large balcony. The layout of the living room was a bit awkward, but we made it work. The kitchen had plenty of cabinets and a huge pantry. There was a coat closet, laundry room with full sized washer/​dryer and a shelf above for storage, linen closet, and master had a stand-​in closet. There was only 1 management change. The new manager is nice and very fair. My only complaints (besides the miserable old broad who lived below me) were that oftentimes the hot tub was closed for repairs, the fitness facility was tiny and generally out of use, and the parking situation was a nightmare. Thankfully I had a free carport, but there really wasn’t anywhere for guests besides street parking. I do appreciate that Heatherwood only raised rates slightly when the market required. The housing market in Vancouver has been booming and there is limited occupancy. Most apartments raised rent by $ 100 or more and Heatherwood only went up $ 40. Overall, it was a great and very affordable place to live.

After being on a «waiting list» for well over a month, calling daily to check availability, we had worked with at least four different representatives (Courtney Sierra come to mind) who assured us we were first on the list and knew of an opening coming up.
We even fill our applications out early and went to turn in our deposits, However, they advised us to hold on to our application and deposit they would call us when available.
One of many mornings, we called to asked if they had figured out an expected move in date and they told us the spot had been filled.
In hindsight, They advised us we should have put down a deposit and our applications. Conflicting information from previous representatives (which would not accept our deposit when offered). This miscommunication has had a huge negative impact on my life with only a little over a week find a place large enough to support a family

This is an overall nice place to live. Been here 4 years and have been pleased every year. The pool is nice, the jacuzzi is nice too. There’s a small fitness room and the club house is nice. The apartment (2 bedroom 2 bath) are pretty run of the mill, basic features. Spacious floor plan, and we did get a vaulted ceiling and had AC in ours and that was nice since we’re on the 3^rd floor, gas heat and water heater. Washer, dryer included. It’s in a nice neighborhood too about 5 min. from the mall. I’ve seen the cops here only 2 times in 4 years. You get a covered carport too and garages are available. The downside is our rent has gone up almost $ 100 since we moved in. We are moving out because of that otherwise we’d stay. There has been 3 management shifts in 4 years, but the present staff is really nice and maintenance is on-​the-​spot.

This is a great place to live. Both inside and outside of the apartment is well kept. The pool is almost always spotless, along with the jacuzzi. The management is nice as well.
