This review helps you decide whether this residence fits your needs, based on pricing, room types, resident feedback, and booking strategy.
Who this residence suits
H4U 80 Green Gardens Blvd may work well for:
- Students who prefer longer stays in a quieter neighbourhood. North York is less hectic than downtown Toronto, but still well-connected by subway and bus. If your university is in the northern part of the city or you don’t mind a 30–40 minute commute to the University of Toronto (St. George campus) or other downtown campuses, this location offers more space and a suburban feel.
- Groups of 3–4 friends looking to share a larger unit. The property has four-bedroom units and houses that could suit a shared arrangement. Splitting the rent (1,250–1,400 CAD per month per person) among four people would bring each person’s share to roughly 310–350 CAD per month — a very low cost by Toronto standards. However, note that the listed price is per unit, not per bedroom. The listing does not clarify whether the price quoted is per person or per unit; confirm with the operator.
- Tenants who value on-site facilities. According to the tags, the building has a gym, study area, and laundry facilities. These amenities can save you money on external gym memberships and laundromats.
- Positive review-seeking students. One resident (Eli) gave a 5-star review and wrote: “This is my honest review. I am very satisfied with my new place. I’m thankful that I got a chance to get this place. I was looking for a place for a month and finally I got what I want. I highly recommend ‘housing4you inc’ will bring only good services what you need. When I requested to fix my door’s lock, they just d…” (the review cuts off). Eli’s experience suggests that maintenance requests were handled quickly.
Who this residence does NOT suit
- Budget-conscious students looking for the cheapest option in Toronto. The city’s from-price on Amber appears as 150 CAD, though that figure likely refers to weekly rent for a very basic room or a sublet, not a standard monthly student apartment. Still, H4U’s monthly rent of 1,250–1,400 CAD is in the mid-to-high range for Toronto student housing. If you need to keep costs below 1,000 CAD per month, you would need to look at shared rooms or properties farther from the city centre.
- Students who cannot risk deposit disputes. Two Google reviews (out of 72 total, rating 4.7) strongly warn about deposits. Nafisa Nawal (1 star) wrote: “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” (review cut). Mahin Khan (1 star) added: “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 itemised…” (review cut). These complaints indicate that the deposit-return process may be problematic. If you are risk-averse or have had bad experiences with deposits before, proceed with caution and document everything.
- Short-term tenants. The minimum lease is 6 months. If you only need housing for a semester (4 months) or a summer term, this property is not suitable.
- Students who want a guaranteed ground-floor or accessible unit. The unit types listed do not mention accessibility features. Contact the operator to confirm if the property meets your needs.

Negative review (Mahin Khan, 1 star):
“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 itemised ”
The overall Google rating is 4.7 out of 5 based on 72 reviews, meaning the negative experiences are not the majority — but they are serious enough to mention. The property’s rating dimensions were not available, so we cannot compare sub-scores like cleanliness or staff.
Price positioning vs. the city’s from-price
On the Amber platform, the city of Toronto has a “from price” of 150 CAD. This is likely a weekly rate for a very low-cost room or a member-only deal, not a typical student housing rate. For context, the cheapest purpose-built student accommodation in Toronto usually starts around 800–1,000 CAD per month for a room in a shared apartment. H4U’s monthly rate of 1,250–1,400 CAD (indicative) places it in the mid-range of market-rate student rentals, especially given that it includes amenities like a gym and study area.
Toronto’s student housing market currently has 75 listings on the platform (as of July 2026). Compared to those, H4U’s price is above average for North York but below many downtown tower residences that can exceed 1,800 CAD per month. If your priority is a private bedroom with ensuite (available here) and access to a gym, 1,250–1,400 CAD is a competitive price in this neighbourhood.
Important: All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator. The deposit amount is not listed in the data; the reviews mention a $100 key deposit and a $200 service deposit. Ask the operator about all fees before signing.
Room-type guidance
H4U 80 Green Gardens Blvd offers four room categories:
- Ensuite – A private bedroom with a private bathroom, likely shared common areas (kitchen, living room). Suitable for students who want privacy in a shared apartment.
- 1B (one-bedroom) – A fully private unit with a separate bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Best for couples or students who strongly prefer living alone.
- 4B (four-bedroom) – A unit with four private bedrooms and shared common spaces. Designed for groups of four. This option has the lowest cost per person if the total rent is split.
- Branded independent house – Likely a small house operated by the “housing4you” brand. Could be a detached or semi-detached home with multiple bedrooms. Contact the operator for exact layout and number of tenants.
When choosing a room type, consider your budget and how much privacy you need. Ensuite and four-bedroom units tend to be the most economical per person. One-bedroom units command the highest rent.
Booking timing
The property is currently listed as “not available” on the source platform. This could mean it is fully leased for the 2026-2027 academic year or temporarily off the market. Given that the data was collected in July 2026 (close to the start of the fall term), availability is very limited.
If you are looking for October 2026 or later, you may want to:
- Check the property again in late August or September 2026, when students who cancel their leases free up rooms.
- Use the on-site assistant (available on the property page) to ask for live availability.
- Consider other properties in the same area (75 listings in Toronto on the platform) as backups.
For the 2027-2028 academic year, the ideal booking window is between November 2026 and March 2027. Early booking gives you the widest choice of units and often better rates.
FAQ
H3: Is the property close to University of Toronto?
H4U 80 Green Gardens Blvd is in North York, about 12 km north of the University of Toronto’s downtown St. George campus. By subway (nearest station: Eglinton West or York Mills), the commute takes roughly 35–40 minutes. There is no direct shuttle; you would rely on public transit. If your classes are at the University of Toronto Scarborough or Mississauga campuses, the location is less convenient.
H3: Are the negative reviews about deposits a deal-breaker?
Two out of 72 Google reviewers reported deposit-related issues. The overall rating of 4.7 suggests most tenants had a positive experience. However, the deposit complaints involve $100–200 non-refundable charges and disputed cleaning fees. You can protect yourself by taking dated photos of the unit upon move-in and getting all deposit terms in writing. If the operator insists on a “service deposit” or “key deposit” that you are uncomfortable with, consider whether the property’s benefits outweigh this risk.
H3: Can I book for January 2027?
The property shows a minimum lease of 6 months. If the unit becomes available again, it may accept a January 2027 start date. Because the current status is “not available,” you should check back closer to November 2026 or use the on-site assistant to request a waiting list. Note that prices are indicative and may change for the winter semester.
