Daleside Place

Turnkey living, all inclusive and board. Two rooms available. One good sized room is available now or for January 1 2025, at $1200 or maybe less for the right person. The other smaller room is available for $975 firm. Both are newly renovated and furnished, with many amenities, it is turnkey living for mature students or young adults looking for a quiet place to live, study, and work. The boarding fee includes utilities, internet, laundry, streaming services, and maybe parking. The home has a smart toilet, distilled water in a hot/cold dispenser (important because K-W has very hard water), two homeowners to provide for boarders’ needs, and the world’s friendliest cat. The fee also includes partial board; the kitchen is stocked with staples so that you never have to worry about whether you have something for your next meal, or whether you need to go shopping today. Public transit is a stone’s throw away. Walking to UW campus is 35 minutes, 20 by bus, 10 by bicycle, 5 by driving. Laurier is a little farther. There’s no need to bring much. Easy to move into and out of. On a 12 month contract the last month is free. Parking might be available, but no motorcycles. It’s a quiet residential neighbourhood.

I’m a working professional in the community and have connections to many local services. My son is in his last year at UW. Our quiet home is on a quiet street. There are some rules, which include: no smoking anywhere in or near the home (in the back yard would be ok I suppose), no drugs or incense or vaping, everyone is expected to keep themselves and the their room neat, and to contribute something to the overall maintenance. Contracts can be as short as 4 months. The price may fluctuate a bit with the cost of utilities, supplies, and groceries. If you’re a student then this may well be exactly what you’re looking for.
