Milligan Apartments and Townhomes - Barrie, Ontario

*UPDATE*
I've now been here 12 years and I stand by my original review. Repairs are made within a very short period of time, the Super is still easy to deal with and pleasant AND it's still one of the cheapest 3 bedroom 2 story apartments to rent in Barrie.
---I've been renting here for over 4 years now. I've had no problems at all. Apartment building is clean and the outside well taken care of. There have been continuous upgrades the whole time I've lived here. Although the building looks rough on the outside the apartments are nice inside. You can make them as nice as you want. Definitely one of the cheapest 3 bdrms to rent in Barrie, especially considering each unit is 2 floors! The property manager is and always has been on top of any repairs that may have been needed. She is friendly, helpful and deals with any issues immediately. I've enjoyed my time here with friendly and considerate neighbours all around.

No review is good without some experience and time behind it. We moved in the units at 255 Dunlop St. W. back in May 2021. 4 months later, I can say it's a great place to live. Great sense of community here, and some of our neighbours have been here for years! Resident manager is always available and she is always seen working hard around the building. We look forward to our time ahead here at Milligan Apartments.

I have lived at Milligan’s apartments for 6 years now and I can honestly say the last have a decade has been fantastic. The building itself is in great quality and affordable with access to many needs in the surrounding area. The superintendent has done an amazing job taking care of the building, and very proud to see every year all the accomplishments she makes around the building and to the tenants themselves. She is very accessible and will always be willing to help in any issues be it minor or major, and I look forward to continue living in a great community. My only regret is when wall paintings we’re taken down to paint I wish I had asked for the one I particularly liked lol

I have lived in this building at two different points in my life. Once was in 2007 for about a year and a half and then I moved back in December of 2017. The reason I decided to move back was due to the amount of space in each unit as well as the layout and the cost for the size. These units are liked stacked townhouses where the kitchen, living room and dining room are on the lower level opening out to either a balcony or a backyard (depending on their location) and three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.

While I was very happy when I lived here in 2007, I was impressed to see that some improvements had taken place upon my return. Some of these improvements were that the hallway leading to my apartment had been painted and recarpeted, the kitchen was completely renovated, there were new windows installed in the unit, the backyard had been re-graded and new grass laid, the dividing fences had been replaced, new patio stones had been put in place and leveled and security cameras were installed in the hallways and parking lot.

When I initially moved in I lived in the unit next to the superintendents and I had a good relationship with them while living here. Upon my return I found that there was a new superintendent. I met her when I first came to view the unit and found that she was both professional and friendly. After viewing the unit, she and I stood and chatted for quite awhile and I knew I would be happy moving back here. Since I moved in, my opinion of her has changed, but only for the better. There are few mornings that I do not hear her out vacuuming the hallway or see her mopping the entryway or performing some other type of maintenance task. Whenever I have had something that needs replacing/fixing she has been prompt in seeing to the issue. She communicates well in letting me know when the work will commence and makes sure that things are done well. She is also good about getting notices out to the tenants from the landlord regarding work being done in common areas or checking fire alarms etc. One particular situation stands out in my mind, which showed me just how great she really is. Last year my father was in the hospital, in Newmarket, from December 31st, 2018 until he passed away on July 26th, 2019. I stayed with my mother at her home, in Aurora, for that time and only came home to get things I needed. I am sure that most people would feel uncomfortable leaving their home unattended for that length of time, but I did not. I knew that the superintendent knew what was going on and she was great about making me feel like my unit was being observed in my absence. This is something that goes above and beyond what most people expect or receive from their superintendents and I am thankful to find this where I live.

While I do not work in Barrie and have to commute to York Region each day, I am happy to make the drive because I have been very happy with the experience of living here. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking and I think the fact that I moved back proves that!

#mycenturianhome I moved here in January and I have to say I just love it. They have done/doing a great amount of renovations to make this place look and feel better. I find everyone to be friendly and the superintendent has been top on the list for that. She keeps you informed of what will be happening so it doesn't interfere with your day.

I recently move to 255 dunlop from toronto and it was a huge move for me and my family at first I kept replaying what to expect and what not to expect but honestly in all my life renting in Ontario I’m happy to honestly say from the bottom of my heart it’s the most happy and comfortable I have ever
Felt. Don’t get me wrong everything went wrong when we move personal life wise but with Lorena the superintendent kind word man we felt right at home she’s honestly a God sent. Building is kept clean veryyyyy clean laundry clean and she respond very fast to issue believe me I know as I call and hang up she’s there to help in any situation you may have. if your looking to rent don’t even second guess everything about the building the people living here is very friendly and great. Thank Lorena your truly appreciated.

I just recently moved into my second apartment ever. Having a large quiet space with little to no carpet and lovely neighbours & superintendent, Lorena Drew’s, makes Milligan Apartments a comfortable living environment for all families. Even with the inconvience of COVID the superintendent welcomed us into her home to get a feel for our new one! Thanks to Lorena for living onsite and ensuring the quality of our living experiences at Milligan’s Apartment. Good job!!

Iv Lived here for 10 years. I watched this place go from being one of the seediest places in Barrie to one of the best. The Landlord is great. Upgrades are constantly happening. With very few exceptions other tenants are kind and respectful. Its like living in a small town in the center of a city.
