I was searching for a next step in my life journey and visited many places here in Waterloo. I found Waterloo Heights to be welcoming and helpful. The units are spacious and many of the residents I met were friendly and full of good things to say about their home. Even the chef made an extra effort to welcome me. I was so impressed that this is the place I have chosen. I am looking forward to living at Waterloo Heights! Thankyou , Mary Ann Pedlar

My parents and I were greeted by Aashni, one of the property site managers at these residents. We were walk-ins. It was clear to her that my parents were looking for something different. I explained to her our needs and she said she'll get some more recommendations. Her manager, Cassidy, overhead our conversation and came over to give us some more information. It was really helpful. Basically they could see me trying to get as much information as possible especially as we were not local to the area. They both were really understanding and caring. I really appreciated their advice. Thank you again for your wisdom.
