Testimonials
“We are thrilled to be a part of West 5. Our wonderful experience began when we first met you back in April 2017. Noble and I appreciated your sales expertise and your contagious positive attitude towards the innovative ground-breaking construction. As you know we moved here from Byron-Warbler Woods. We did not want to leave this area of the City. There is an excitement to be part of such an ecological-friendly project. We have enjoyed our first few months @West5. First and foremost, the construction people are so considerate. They portray that they are working at our home, not that we are living at their work…Any issues are addressed quickly and resolved. We chose West 5 because of the reputation of Sifton. My Mom lived at Longworth Retirement Village for several years. We experienced the Sifton attention to detail, as well as putting their residents first! Our townhouse is so comfortable. So very nice to have brand new. Tastefully designed. We have very quickly adapted to a very positive change in our life. Thank you for all support.”

FAQ
We offer a variety of 2 and 3 bedroom townhome layouts, including one-storey and two-storey options. For current availability, contact our Leasing Office at 519-434-3622 ext. 3900 or rentwest5@sifton.com.
Each townhome will include a rough-in for an EV charger, making it possible for residents to install a charger that is compatible with their vehicle. Tenants are responsible for the cost to install and maintain an electric vehicle charger and to contract a Sifton approved electrical contractor to install an EV charger. We are also planning for other charging stations throughout West 5. Electric vehicles are more efficient, quieter, less expensive to maintain and they produce less C02 emissions, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint.
Some townhomes have garages with room for 1 to 2 vehicles. Other townhomes have driveways with room for 1 to 2 vehicles. We also have designated visitor parking lots throughout the complex.
Similar to other rental units in London, residents are responsible for their own heat, hydro and utilities. These townhomes are energy efficient and as such as we have installed heat pumps for both heating and cooling. Heat pumps are efficient and use much less energy than natural gas or oil furnaces. Your home is electrically heated.
West 5 is a Net Zero community, meaning that as a whole it will generate all of the power it uses over the course of a year. It will not be off the grid; rather, we will share the power generated (primarily through solar) with the grid.
Yes, each townhome has an individually controlled thermostat that will work differently than you may have seen before. These thermostats run very efficiently and are designed to be adjusted minimally. You adjust the settings for humidity as the seasons change, but otherwise allow the system to run as it’s designed. West 5 townhomes have advanced ventilation systems that provide continuous air circulation at a lower speed, which helps mix the air in the home better and promotes improved health, while being quieter and more efficient.

Yes, you are required to carry and maintain insurance on your personal property and belongings and proof of insurance is required before your move-in day.
Insurance protects you in the event of fire, flood, natural disaster, theft and many other possible situations. Your insurance will cover the cost of your personal belongings such as furniture, clothing, artwork, jewelry if they are damaged. Most residents under value the worth of these items but if they need replacement the costs can add up. Insurance can also provide you with temporary accommodations in the event that your rental home is inhabitable due to fire, flood, natural disaster or other serious property damage. Landlords carry and maintain insurance on the physical property or structure, while residents carry and maintain insurance for their contents and costs associated with personal property damage.

Sifton Properties Limited is pleased to implement a Smoke-Free Policy in our Residential Rental Units. Our West 5 Townhome community is 100% smoke free, while the rest of our communities are in transition to be completely smoke-free. The Smoke Free Policy applies to all residents who signed a lease as of May 1, 2018 and later. It prohibits smoking inside a rental unit, as well as on a balcony, patio or anywhere else on Sifton property. In May 2018, the province of Ontario introduced a new standard tenancy agreement for all landlords and one of the inclusions is that tenants are not permitted to smoke in rental units. This promotes healthier living for all rental homes across the province. Our Smoke-Free Policy assists in providing a healthy and safe environment for our residents and staff.
