Overview & Location
H4U 80 Green Gardens is a shared student housing property located in North York, Toronto, ON M6A 0E6, Canada. The residence offers four-bedroom units and branded independent houses, with monthly rents ranging from CAD 1,200 to 1,250 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The property is situated in a residential area of North York, approximately 30–40 minutes by public transit from the downtown campuses of the University of Toronto (St. George campus) and other nearby institutions. On-site amenities include laundry facilities, a gym, and a study area — though the property is currently listed as “not available” on the platform, meaning availability may be limited or seasonal.
The area offers supermarkets, parks, and local shops within walking distance, and the Yorkdale Shopping Centre is a short drive away. For students who prefer a quieter neighbourhood away from the city centre, North York provides a balance of convenience and space.
Who This Residence Suits
This property is best suited for students who are willing to share a multi-bedroom unit or a house with three other housemates. The four-bedroom configuration and independent house setup appeal to those who want a self-contained living environment with private bedrooms and shared common areas (kitchen, living room, bathroom). The presence of a gym and a study area on-site makes it convenient for residents who prefer not to commute to off-site fitness or library facilities.
Students who are comfortable with a minimum lease of six months will find the contract terms flexible enough for an academic semester or a full year. The monthly price bracket of CAD 1,200–1,250, while above Toronto’s typical starting point for student housing (CAD 150 indicative — confirm with the operator), includes the benefit of a fully managed property with amenities. This may appeal to students who value structure and on-site support over the lowest possible cost.
Additionally, the property is suitable for postgraduate students or mature undergraduates who prefer a less central, more suburban lifestyle, and who are able to rely on public transit to reach campus.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
This residence is not ideal for students on a tight budget seeking the absolute cheapest option in Toronto, given that the price is significantly higher than the city-wide from-price. Students looking for single-occupancy apartments or studio units will not find them here, as only four-bedroom units and houses are available.
Those who have had negative experiences with deposit disputes — as noted in some reviews — may wish to exercise caution. Two reviews describe disputes over key deposits and service fees that were not fully refunded after move-out. If transparency on move-out charges is a priority, prospective tenants should clarify all deposit terms in writing before signing.
Students who require a short-term lease (e.g., less than six months) or who need to move in immediately should note that the minimum lease is six months and the property is currently tagged as “not available.” This suggests that rooms may be released only at specific times, such as the start of a semester, and might not be accessible for spontaneous bookings.
Finally, the North York location is less convenient for students who need to be within walking distance of downtown Toronto campuses or who rely on late-night transit, as bus services become less frequent after midnight.

This reviewer compliments the service and responsiveness to maintenance requests, specifically mentioning a prompt lock repair. The positive sentiment suggests that for some tenants, the management is helpful and the property meets expectations.

“I had a an extremely frustrating experience with this rental agency in downtown Toronto. According to my contract, I was charged one time service fee (which i don’t even think is legal) and I also paid a $100 KEY DEPOSIT. I followed all required steps when moving out and returned my keys in proper condition. Sara - one”
This review raises concerns about a one-time service fee (questioned legality) and a key deposit that was not returned as expected. The mention of “Sara - one” suggests a specific staff member may have been involved.

“Very disappointed with my experience here. I was charged a $100 key deposit and a $200 “service deposit” when moving in. After moving out, returning the keys, and properly cleaning the unit, they refused to return most of the money and claimed the apartment was “not clean” without providing proper evidence or itemized”
This second negative review echoes the deposit issue, adding a $200 service deposit and a dispute over cleaning standards. The reviewer states that no itemized evidence was provided, suggesting a lack of transparency regarding security deposit deductions.
These three reviews illustrate that while some tenants have had a smooth experience, deposit-related disputes have occurred. Prospective tenants should verify the property’s deposit policy in writing and take move-in photos to protect themselves.
Price Positioning vs Toronto’s Student Housing Market
The city of Toronto has a student housing market with a wide price range. The lowest starting price for a student property on this platform is CAD 150 (indicative — confirm with the operator), which typically reflects a private room in a shared house or a dormitory-style arrangement in less central areas. At CAD 1,200–1,250 per month, H4U 80 Green Gardens sits well above that baseline, placing it in the mid-to-upper price tier for shared accommodation.
For context, many purpose-built student residences in Toronto offer private rooms in shared apartments for CAD 800–1,400 per month, depending on location, amenities, and lease terms. This property’s price is at the higher end for a four-bedroom unit in North York, likely due to its inclusion of a gym and study area. However, given that the property is currently marked “not available,” pricing may be subject to change or vary by season.
When comparing cost, students should factor in transit expenses (monthly TTC pass: approximately CAD 156) and the potential utility bills, which may or may not be included in the rent. It is advisable to confirm with the operator exactly what is covered.
Room-Type and Lease Guidance
The property offers only one room type: four-bedroom units in a branded independent house. This means each resident gets a private bedroom, while the kitchen, living room, and bathrooms are shared with up to three other tenants. No private studios or one-bedroom apartments are available.
The minimum lease term is six months, which accommodates a standard semester or a full academic year. The maximum lease term is not specified but is likely negotiable up to 12 months. Given the “not available” tag, interested students should contact the operator directly to inquire about upcoming vacancies and move-in dates.
Booking Timing Considerations
Because the property is currently listed as unavailable, early planning is essential. Student housing in Toronto tends to be booked 3–6 months in advance for fall and winter semesters. If you are aiming for a September 2026 or January 2027 move-in, start inquiring as soon as possible — ideally by March–May of the same year.
The property’s six-month minimum lease means it is best suited for students who can commit to a full term. If you need a shorter stay (e.g., summer only), this may not be suitable.
Monitor the listing for status changes. Use the platform’s alerts or check periodically. If availability returns, be prepared to act quickly, as properties with a 4.7 rating and 72 reviews tend to attract interest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rent all-inclusive or are utilities extra?
The data provided does not specify whether utilities (electricity, water, internet) are included in the monthly rent of CAD 1,200–1,250. You should confirm this directly with the operator. Many student properties in Toronto include utilities, but some charge them separately.
What is the deposit policy, and is it refundable?
Google reviews indicate that the operator charges a key deposit (CAD 100) and a service deposit (up to CAD 200) at move-in. One review states that the deposit was not fully refunded after moving out. To avoid surprises, request an itemized deposit policy in writing before signing. Take dated photos of the unit at move-in and move-out as evidence of its condition.
Can I choose my housemates in a four-bedroom unit?
This information is not provided in the dataset. Some student housing operators allow you to form a group of four to reserve the entire unit, while others assign housemates based on preferences or availability. Ask the operator whether you can fill all four spots with friends or if they will allocate you to an existing group.
