Living in an all-inclusive apartment can significantly enhance the student experience, providing not just a place to stay but a vibrant community where students can thrive both academically and socially. At Envie, our residents enjoy a variety of amenities and support that make their lives easier and more enjoyable. Here’s a glimpse into a day in the life of our residents, showcasing their experiences and what makes living at Envie so special.
Stress-Free Living
For one of our residents, Alison, “Having everything included takes a lot of stress away, allowing me to focus solely on school.” With all bills included in the rent—such hydro, gas, water, WiFi, and maintenance — students can kick back and concentrate on their studies without juggling multiple payments. Budgeting also becomes simpler and more predictable. Plus, the RentCafe app makes it easy to pay rent and request maintenance.
Convenience and Support
One of the standout features of living at Envie is the exceptional management, as highlighted by Alison. “I really like the quality and management of the Envie building compared to others in the Sandy Hills area. The management is very responsive, and they take feedback seriously.“
Syra highlights the convenience of furnished units and the helpful staff at Envie: “The units coming furnished is extremely useful and convenient. Overall, the staff, including reception, are very kind and always try to help out. Ekam is by far the easiest leasing agent to work with.” This level of service ensures that residents feel supported throughout their stay.
One of the standout perks of living in an all-inclusive apartment is that it comes fully furnished, making move-in a total breeze! Forget the stress of furniture shopping and assembling – just unpack your bags and get ready to chill.
Moreover, having a 24/7 store like Aisle 24 right next to the building is incredibly convenient for residents. Whether you’re craving late-night snacks or running low on toiletries, you can easily grab what you need anytime. This convenient access not only saves time but also simplifies life, letting students concentrate more on their studies and social activities without the hassle of travelling far to run errands.
Community Vibes
International students often face unique challenges, but Selma found a supportive environment at Envie: “As an international student, I was worried I wouldn’t find a calm place for studying, but Envie has welcoming community spaces.” This sense of community is echoed by Hachem, who says: “J’adore l’ambiance très chaleureuse à Envie. Les aménagements sont incroyables, spécialement la salle de sport ou encore le penthouse.” And speaking of the penthouse, did you know you can rent our stunning kitchen space for your private events? It’s the perfect spot to whip up some fun memories!
Isharjeet loves all the fun activities at Envie, and it’s all thanks to our amazing lifestyle team! “I have been living here for about a year now. I really enjoy the activities that Envie has to offer. I really enjoy the gym as well; it’s well maintained and clean.”
The lifestyle team is dedicated to helping new residents settle into life at Envie and in Ottawa, hosting all these exciting events that make living here feel like a big, friendly family. From wine and paint nights to movie marathons and cookie baking, our community events not only keep things lively but also help residents forge friendships that last a lifetime.
Outstanding Amenities
Living at Envie means enjoying top-notch amenities, as Monica notes: “Living at Envie suites has been a great experience. The amenities are outstanding, including a well-equipped gym, spacious common areas, and 24/7 security that provides peace of mind. As a pet owner, I appreciate the pet-friendly policy, which makes it convenient and comfortable for my furry friend. The service staff in the building are always friendly and efficient.”
For many students, finding a cozy and accommodating place to live is key. Semilore appreciates the wide range of amenities available at Envie: “I love that the amenities cater to everyone’s needs. The gym, game room, and study area make Envie feel like a home away from home; it has everything you could need, including a 24/7 mart in the building.” The environment at Envie helps students settle in and feel right at home. After a long day of classes and cramming for exams, students can hit the gym for a fun workout or challenge friends to a game of pool or ping pong. It’s the perfect way to shake off the stress and recharge before diving back into their studies!
Living in an all-inclusive apartment like Envie provides students with a unique and enriching experience. From exceptional staff and outstanding amenities to a welcoming community, residents can focus on their studies while enjoying a vibrant lifestyle. With so much to offer, it’s no wonder that Envie feels like home for so many students.
