If your aim is to live downtown, The Carrington was comfortable enough to live in I guess, but it’s not a building without flaws with both suits and management.
For one, the summers are very hot and unless you have a corner unit or air conditioner, one could argue the summers are outright unbareable. The suits feel like high-heat saunas, the layout of the bedrooms don’t allow air to really come in from outside to outset the heat, and even a standing fan isn’t much help.
As far as bang for your buck, you’re always going to overpay to live downtown. The building doesn’t have any real amenities, as there isn’t a workout area, pool, or rec room. What you get is your room, in-suit laundry and heated underground parking for extra. You’re mainly paying for location beyond that. For the area the price was fine, but for what you’re actually getting out of the building, you can find better value in a similar building in a different area outside of downtown.
Lastly but not least, the management. Personally, I found my experience with them to be bare minimum, and at other times outright rude. The experience was fine upon first view of the place, but once you’re actually leasing from them, you as a tenant are quickly forgotten unless they need something from you. Service/maintenance calls went unheard or usually delayed, management would need to be contacted several times if there were any issues, and the main woman heading the building management was pretty condescending, unhelpful, fake and not much of a people person.
So to summarize: the building gets very hot, there are no amenities, management is okay on their best days, and you’re overpaying for what you get simply based on location.
