We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

Nice neighbors and it feels like a community. It's also a busy bike path so you need to be careful crossing the road, I've seen several pedestrians and dogs hit. I've also seen cars pull out quickly and their have been collisions due to blind spots on the road. Nice park near by for families, but the sports ground can be noisy until 9pm and from early hours on weekends.

We had a broken pipe followed by black fungus for 3 months, have been ignored 3 months before we decided to beak our contract. In all occasions the issue has been pushed or ignored, our health got bad linked to the fungus, we had to live in winter with windrows opened and could not use a big part of our flat, and they refused to give us a correct compensation (they proposed 200!). To this date, we are still waiting for it. Some other tenants had to wait 1 month to get an answer to be able to leave their place. Folio is definitely the worst real estate company you could go for

I lived on the top floor of a three level block of 2 b/r flats that is not too modern. My flat kitchen and sitting room is semi open design. The kitchen and bathroom has no window with very poor air extraction during cooking and bathing and mould on ceiling. The property manager is very friendly and very responsive to all my repairs which is a plus.

The flat is quite easy to access to. The property manager, Lerayne, has always been responsive and helpful for tenants needs. One thing that is required in the area of st James development is window cleaning from outside something that has to be facilitate.
