While we only lived here seven months, our experience was really great. And this is significant because it was during the pandemic AND we work from home, anyway, so we were here all. the. time.
The property, while 'older', has spacious rooms. After we moved in and won some lucrative contracts we decided to look at other apartments in the RPQ/RB area; while they were updated and had greater 'curb appeal' the interiors were small and sometime oddly shaped, imho. So a big plus for The Hills? Boxy
...but spacious.
Our apartment had been recently painted, the carpet steam cleaned, the windows washed and the balconies swept. Neat as a pin.
We found the management very responsive.
We found the online resident portal very effective for paying our rent and getting any needed repairs serviced.
The grounds keepers, cleaners and repair guys were most excellent and thorough.
During our residence the management communicated clearly about upcoming property improvements, for example: reroofing, exterior fascia painting, tree trimming and removal. It just gave the overall impression that the owners were concerned about maintaining the utility, beauty and condition of the buildings and grounds.
Never used the pool: pandemic and it is small.
Our immediate neighbors moved out a few months after we arrived. They had lived there 7 years and immediately upon them vacating, there was a troop of workmen tearing out carpet, painting, updating fixtures, etc.
One downside is that there is only one parking space assigned per unit (well, maybe it is different for the 3 bedroom places, but I doubt it). But the spaces are WIDE and the driveable area of the parking lots are also a comfortable size. The entrance to the complex can be a little tight because residents always have their 'extra' cars parked along both sides of the road, but that is nothing compared to the snugness of the tiny parking lots and spaces of the other complexes in the area. And I have never had any problems finding parking in the adjacent neighborhood.
Another downside is no central A/C, but our unit's orientation (windows north and south)and height (15028 #E) really kept that from being a problem. That unit has great views and great breezes.
