Indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, picnic tables and benches here and there with lots of shady spots to just hang out on a nice day. You'll meet many people at social events which are done monthly and so beautifully decorated, live music (or other things like line dancing, etc.), and delicious snack treats! Also regular weekly bingo evenings, games afternoons 4 weekdays every week, an AMAZING CHRISTMAS DINNER for residents as well as FABULOUS BBQ outdoors in September. Many seniors, however, this community has many age levels, including folks with children, singles and many people who are not retired. Very friendly and efficient staff respond to our needs very quickly. Close to all amenities anyone can ever need and very near the Welland Canal walking / bike path (and my personal favourite, the Grantham Trail path which leads directly to Lake Ontario trails)... both are paved and wide. I love my one bedroom apartment and its friendly neighbours and very quiet environment. Check it out for your next move or downsize! Lockers are available for long-term storage or bikes (mine is an e-bike and must be stored indoors). I'm happy to answer any questions you might ask! Maggie

COCKROACH INFESTATION…read more For the past 5 months we are battling with CLV to help us against this cockroach problem. Just today we tore our kitchen down because I found one in my fried rice that I made. Needless to say I puked. Down below is photos of our appartment alone. Also, we only paid 1400$ for a 3 bed 2 bath before CLV took over. Don't buy into their 2000+$ bullshit.

The worst thing are the 60 year old windows that leak and don't close properly. they are in dire need of replacement. the wind rattles them so loudly at night that it is almost impossible to sleep. The parking lot is poorly lit and visitors are forced to pay parking. I pay 2000.00.00 a month for a two bedroom apartment, about a 1000 sq feet.. I know my posting this will change nothing, but it may make people look elsewhere.

I was charged $30 and had to wait 30 days to receive the minutes. When the minutes arrived there was no mention of a fence or cost. Two weeks ago I notified Lauren Bowman, our Shabr representative, about damage to the front lawn of our townhouse. The damage was caused by a crew that was installing new wiring for TV reception. I included a photograph of the damage caused by a heavy piece of equipment. The result: Nada. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) rates Property Management Companies using the following scale: A+ A A- B+ B B- C+ C C-. I tracked 10 companies in our region. 7 of them received an A+ rating, 1 an A rating and 2 a C+ rating. Shabri was rated C+. ACMO (Association of Condominium Managers of Ontario) represents Condominium managers. ACMO's mission is to advance the quality and performance of condominium managers and management companies and the services that they provide.There are over 50 active condominium management firms that are members. Shabri is not a member. When I asked James North why Shabri was not a member he said that ACMO was no longer relevant. Conclusion: Shabri is NOT a viable choice for Condominium Management.
