Is it worth renting a luxury student condo in Waterloo?
Choosing where to live while you’re a student isn’t always an easy decision to make. You have to consider your budget, your academic goals, your personal preferences and your overall lifestyle to find a housing option that’s best for you.
Waterloo, Ontario is home to three large post-secondary institutions – Conestoga College, Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo. With such a robust student population, Waterloo has a number of student accommodations to choose from – including campus residence, rental houses, student apartments, luxury condos and more. It can be overwhelming to wade through the pool of possibilities to find your perfect home away from home.
To help you navigate the housing options for Waterloo students, we’ve laid out the benefits of leasing a luxury student condo to see if it’s the best fit for you.
Private suites – Study in peace and comfort.
Moving into a dorm, house or apartment with a big group of friends can seem like a good idea at the time, but you may find yourself changing your mind once midterms roll around. Luxury condo suites offer more space with less roommates (and less distractions). You’ll also have full control of your suite’s temperature with a private thermostat, so you can stay comfortable all year round. Choose from a one-, two- or three-bedroom suite that best suits your lifestyle.
2. Luxury finishings – Student housing like you’ve never seen it before.
Granite countertops, ensuite washrooms, spacious balconies and stainless-steel appliances are likely not the first thing you think of when it comes to student housing. But student housing doesn’t have to mean mismatched furniture, damaged walls and stained carpets. Live and study in style with a modern student condo that comes fully furnished with state-of-the-art appliances and other luxury details. For Sage Living tenants, this also means a 50” flat screen TV in every suite (yes, you read that right).
3. Premium amenities – In-suite laundry, private fitness centres, high-speed internet and more.
Luxury student condos are often complete with premium amenities like private fitness centres, lounge areas, top-of-the-line appliances and in-suite laundry. You can also count on better soundproofing and internet connectivity. Sage Living’s luxury suites offer fiber-optic internet with unlimited bandwidth, so you never have to worry about losing connection during an online quiz (or high-stakes game).
4. Increased safety – Protecting you and your belongings.
Luxury student condo buildings are equipped with modern safety features that you won’t find in many other rentals – including a central security system, controlled entry, private underground parking and secured bike storage. Modern condo buildings are also held to the latest construction regulations, which are stricter now than ever before. When you move into your luxury suite, you can focus on your studies knowing you won’t have to worry about mold, asbestos, faulty wiring or other serious building code violations that may be present in older rentals.
5. Convenience – Popular retailers and eateries within steps of your suite.
Luxury condos often reserve the main floor of the building for commercial space. Vendors ranging from convenience stores, to restaurants, to coffee shops, to hair salons will be within steps from your new home. Looking to explore more that Waterloo has to offer? Sage Living’s luxury condos are all located in the heart of Waterloo’s student district. Many of Waterloo’s most popular retailers and eateries are all within walking distance, or a short trip by bus.
6. Professional management services – 24/7 support when you need it most.
From the day you move in, to the day you move out, a professional management service is there to help you every step of the way. Have a question? Locked yourself out? Accidentally flooded your bathroom? Your property managers are only a phone call away. Sage Living guarantees a 24-hour phone line, so you know you’ll always have someone to call in case of an emergency.
