The manager of the apartment building was very nice, but one of the elderly receptionists was always quite rude. This made me feel uncomfortable when I talked to her. She seemed like someone who didn't want to be working at all. Fortunately, she is no longer there and the new receptionist is much more professional and kind. I stayed in this apartment for almost three years and while it was a bit dated, their management was great! They dealt with any issues quickly and kept the premises clean regularly. The only reason I moved out of this apartment building was because I am moving to another city. Additionally, compared to other apartments, their rent fee is also very reasonable in price.
My partner and I rented a Dawson Properties apartment on Arthur Street for 6.5 years, from early 2014 to late 2020. During our tenancy, we had respectful neighbors, appreciated the location on a main street, had minor repairs done by maintenance, and paid an average rent amount. The apartment wasn't luxurious but it was suitable for us starting out. It was advertised as a "senior's apartment building," yet the building we lived in is NOT wheelchair accessible; although it has an elevator one must go up or down stairs to reach it. We frequently ran a dehumidifier during cooler months due to high humidity and MOLD issues in our unit; although not severe, my relative who lived in the same building for several years experienced more significant mold problems. I have rated Dawson Properties low due to recent events: their parking lot was never plowed properly causing unsafe icy conditions which I notified them of multiple times with no response other than "it's just that time of year." In summer 2020 various towels went missing from the laundry room (4 full sized bath towels plus hand towels) which I reported via email but received no response; because of this theft I now have to sit in the laundry room while doing towel loads so nothiMy partner and I rented a Dawson Properties apartment on Arthur Street for 6.5 years, from early 2014 to late 2020.

These incidents led me to no longer recommend Dawson Properties like before 2019.more ...hide ...
