Finding a new place to live in a big city can be exciting, yet daunting. While many focus on the interior wants and must-haves, they often overlook a critical component: ensuring there is community. More and more, securing an apartment isn’t just about enough space and a soaker tub. A nice neighbourhood with a community-minded building that focuses on residents' needs can make all the difference beyond your move-in date. In this blog, we’ll review CLV Group’s approach to creating communities for our residents.

Fostering Community

CLV Group has carefully created spaces that cater to prospective tenants from all walks of life. Here are some of the features we have implemented to do so:

Pet-Friendly Residences

Each of our buildings is pet-friendly, and some even offer pet-friendly accommodations. So, you won’t risk having your heart set on a place only to find out they won’t welcome your furry friend.

In addition, certain apartments also have green space or specific areas for pets, too. This means your pets are fully taken into consideration, giving them an opportunity to meet new friends, just as you will after moving in.

Close to Transit

Our communities are always close to transit. Ottawa is a big city spread across many neighbourhoods, meaning transit is a must, in some cases, even if you have a vehicle. We keep in mind essential connections to the city’s existing public transit resources such as bike paths, bus stations, and the LRT, which continues to expand.

Proximity to Green Spaces

One of our biggest priorities is providing our tenants with green spaces. We understand the value of outdoor space in helping people feel close to their community while getting fresh air. Some of our residences offer rooftop patios and lounge areas with gardens to enhance resident experiences. Other buildings are near public parks, emphasizing the careful consideration of how we focus on residents’ needs.

Student Exclusive Offers

CLV Group understands the importance of helping students find comfortable accommodations while studying. With a city like Ottawa, which houses many colleges and two of the most prominent universities in the country, Carleton University and uOttawa, there’s no shortage of students needing safe and affordable accommodation.

Budget Builder Portal

CLV Group provides students with a convenient financial estimate portal to calculate a budget quickly. The portal accounts for the following:

• Rent
• Storage locker
• Utilities
• Internet
• Groceries
• Parking (if applicable) 

The portal helps give students an estimate before they sign a lease. However, this does not pre-qualify students for an apartment. 

Student-Focused Features

On top of providing financial support for students, student residences offer many amenities to help make their move easier, and their time in Ottawa more enjoyable. These include:

• Furnished units
• Study lounge
• Secure communities
• Flexible lease terms

Prioritizing Residents

With CLV Group’s approach to fostering communities with our residents in mind, we’re proud to say many people living in Ottawa call our buildings home. Looking for a community-focused apartment with ample amenities? Start your search
