One customer also credits Activa with responding helpfully to issues that came up after move-in.

A customer alleges that stacked homes lack insulation between units, calling them unliveable because of noise and vibration from above and below.

We have had a great experience with Activa. They have been incredibly responsive and helpful in taking care of any issues that have come up with our home. Brandi, Julie, Sami, Rob, and Burt have all provided amazing support. Highly recommend!
Shalini Arora
Steve from warranty was awesome. He did a great job during the one-year Tarion warranty inspection. He was thorough and took the time to explain the warranties. His explanations were clear and helpful, and he shared useful tips for the long-term upkeep of the home. Very professional and knowledgeable, really appreciated his time and guidance.

Worst quality homes built by this company. Leadership team does not care about customers at all. Do not buy home from them!
Editing the review to reply to your comment below:
It still doesn’t change the fact Activa decided to build stacked homes on top of each other without any insulation between units. The units are unliveable because of free flow of noise from everywhere. People vacuum floors in unit above and unit below literally vibrates. Its just poor quality build that activa has used to save money and dupe people.
