Residents seeking low-density townhome living with quick maintenance and nearby lake access.

Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-09-22). Website-sourced details were fetched 2026-07-17.

What we found

Residents consistently report polished finishes and quick maintenance response, backed by named technicians (Andre, Chris, Aaron, Pete, Dray) who residents praise by name. Recent management changes introduced trash consolidation and EV chargers that residents view as heavy-handed, raising concerns about parking and compactor accessibility.

What sets Markham apart is its lakeside walk-ability and townhome layout in a low-density cluster. Staff warmth stands out: Stacy's return sparked gratitude, and residents feel heard on property improvements. Granite, stainless steel, and in-unit washers appeal to renters who want finish quality, though new policy enforcement and landscaping upkeep merit a hard look before committing.

  • attentive staff and management

The Maris

The Maris attracts residents who love its design, location, and staff warmth during move-in, but a growing number struggle with compound security lapses: a broken garage gate (unfixed for months), repeated vehicle break-ins and tire theft, unauthorized maintenance entry into occupied units, and unexplained towing of registered vehicles. The property feels split between residents who had early positive experiences (with staff members Jeffrey, Elyse, Helen, and Eric praised by name) and those who arrived as these issues mounted and now question whether the luxury price point justifies the friction. Security concerns overshadow amenities for many. Reviewers report management acknowledges plans to add cameras and repair the gate but slow follow-through erodes trust. One reviewer called out the Fetch package system as inefficient compared to traditional mail rooms. On the flip side, residents praise the pool, fitness events, and the actual apartment finishes, and those without security incidents or parking disputes remain genuinely happy.

Recent visitors praise specific staff members (Chrissa, Jaiden, Ryan) and report quick maintenance response, with several noting visible improvements since new management took over. Yet older reviews document months-long repair delays, communication failures, and complaints that problems went unaddressed despite repeated requests. The property is polarizing: some find it well-maintained and friendly; others feel ignored once rent is paid.

Leasing staff earn consistent praise for warmth and professionalism, and units themselves are stylish with solid amenities. Management's failure to enforce lease rules on noise and smoking creates frustration for tenants who document problems for months without resolution. Move-out fees draw complaints, and some residents report missing packages with limited recourse.
