Yonge Eglinton Apartments – Orchard View

Catalina is the worst and the build is decrepit. No accountability or care for resident experience

I lived here for nearly two years, and the move-in and move-out experiences were by far the worst I’ve had in Canada. When I first moved in here, I was not given any notice and was suddenly told there was a leak in the unit that required construction work — they wouldn’t even allow me to move in. I had no choice but to stay in a hotel. When I moved out, they charged me a lot without notice or explanation. The management staff were rude, and I don’t think it’s their place to comment on how much money I make, whether it's a lot or a little. One of the few good things during my stay was the cleaning staff — they kept the building very clean. And back then, the neighborhood felt safe, and the building itself was clean and secure. However, when I visited recently, both the safety and cleanliness seemed to have declined significantly, and I’ve heard a lot of similar things from people. Overall, this is not a normal place to live long-term — you never know what kind of major issues might arise or how they might affect residents.
