Horrible experience
June 29, 2025 - Review from Apartments.comThe staff is unprofessional and provides in accurate information. They were overcharging us the whole year there that they had to give us $875 credit last month living there towards rent. Also been moved out for over 2 months going on 3, and still haven’t received security deposit. The towing company they use very unprofessional got in a fight with my brother and also kept purposely towing his car! Than my boyfriend car got towed and it ended up not starting after they towed it and they did ...nothing to help!Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Would not recommend
July 6, 2023 - Review from Apartments.comThe apartments are in okay condition. They are always doing roadwork which makes coming in and out of the apartment a hassle in the morning. My problem is that they will threaten eviction, if you are just a day late with your rent, even with perfect payment history. After five days, they add a late fee. After eight days, they add court costs. They will do this each month. God forbid if you fall on hard times, because they will make it even harder for you. Not worth it in the end. Only consider ...this complex as a last option.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Bottom of the barrel
March 31, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comBottom of the barrel. The nastiest slum. Roaches the size of playing cards. Rats the size of cats. Trash everywhere. My apartment has been flooded by my upstairs neighbors 4 times in less than 6 months and they never do anything to fix it. My upstairs neighbor throws his trash off the top balcony and leaves it in the yard. People leave entire furniture sets by the dumpster bay. No one picks up after or leashes their dogs. It’s basically anarchy. If you want an unsafe neighborhood with no rules ...that you can’t walk around at night and slum apartments that are dangerous and pest infested then this is the place for you. Management is nonexistent. Maintenance is a joke. Don’t give these horrible people your moneyRead MoreProperty Manager Responded

Guns. Roaches. Water damage. No management.
August 15, 2021 - Review from Apartments.comDo not live here. I have been here since last fall and I will be leaving as soon as possible. The maintenance staff never responds and if they do they will enter your apartment without notice and without knocking. The roaches are HUGE and abundant. The windows and doors are unsealed and break/won’t open. Water damage is rampant and unaddressed. The other residents regularly leave large amounts of trash in the parking lot. Several residents walk their aggressive dogs without a leash and don’t pick ...up the poop. The people in the office are rude and unhelpful. The entire staff gives you attitude if you ask them to do their job. The cops are here several times a week. There is absolutely no sense of community and even as a grown man I don’t walk around at night because it is not safe. This is a dirty and horrible place to live that is run by people who refuse to give even the bare minimum.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Worst Apartment Complex
August 11, 2021 - Review from Apartments.comThe worst apartment complex. My air was not working for summer 2020 a month after I moved in. I requested a new apartment and was denied. Maintenance came to my apartment several times and could not fix the issue. They had to use a generator which tripled my electricity bill. Corporate never reach back to me and I was working from home in 100 degree weather. They hired an outside contractor during the fall and the issue was still it fixed as of summer 2021. The apartment never owned up to this ...situation, but processed to raise my rent if I decided to continue living there. Terrible service in my opinion. No one wanted to hear my situation or help the issue.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Don’t live here
July 9, 2021 - Review from Apartments.comIf I could give zero stars I would. Please at all cost DO NOT MOVE HERE! They are absolutely awful. From the living conditions to the general incompetence these people are slum lords. I lived there for two years (only due to the pandemic) and hated every minute of it. We lived in one of their townhomes and our living room and downstairs half bath were infested with mold due to a leak coming from the upstairs bathroom. I placed several maintenance request to have this looked at but it was until ...our ceiling in the living room began to fall apart did someone come to look at it. When they did all they did was patch up the wall and paint it without addressing the leak or the mold. It got so bad there was mold growing under the carpet and spread to anything left in that corner over night. We had several issues with our heating and cooling system and had to plead for a new unit after spending a weeks with no ac as the attempted to find the problem. I would like to note the maintenance employees themselves were always kind, courteous, and attempted to help despite the system they worked for. With the maintenance issues aside, the leasing office attendants are grossly incompetent. Due to the global pandemic, we entered into a payment agreement for one month’s rent that was to be evenly distributed among the remaining months. When we attempted to pay out of the payment arrangement we were told that everything was overpaid and we were given a $300 credit to the next month. The following month we were billed with late fees for a balance we were told we over paid. When we attempted to address this, no one wanted to take responsibility or reimbursed the late fee charges placed on the account due to the the staffs mistakes. I attempted multiple times to meet with the the location Manager Shannon; who avoided meeting. In short do yourself a favor and find ANYWHERE ELSE to live.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

DO NOT MOVE HERE. BBB rating: F
July 26, 2019 - Review from Apartments.comI’ve been living here for a year now and have had nothing but problems. I’ve put in 16 work orders because there’s always something wrong and they rarely actually fix it the first time. The roaches are huge and insistent. And the neighborhood is full of creeps and criminals. And the leasing office does not care about any of these issues. This company that owns the complex isn’t even accredited by the BBB. The rental rate is enticing but not worth it.
Current tenant, apartment filled with issues.
October 11, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comDo not move here. When I was looking for an apartment, it looked really nice and secure but you dont see the problems till you move in. The apartment building is not secure in any way, mantiance never fixes anything no matter how many times you submit a request. I still live here and have submitted 4 maintenance request for various issues including ac not working, dropping faucet, bug and roaches, window screens completely ripped. Money of those have been fixed. According to my neighbors, this is ...a very common issue with maintenance. I'm waiting for my lease to end so I can move. Trust me, do not move here. The gas is covered in the rent but they dont tell you the gas is the smallest bill so it's not much help that gas is covered and since the ac has to overwork itself just to cool a little bit, you electric bill will average $100 each month. The washer is super small so the most you can fit in it is 5 towels at one time. The parking lot is not fenced, there is an automatic gate that opens anytime a car comes close so anyone can come in. The actual apartment building is pitch black so I have to use a flashlight to get to my apartment door from the building, and yes I've told the property managers and maintenance that a lightbulb is needed but nothing has been done. I've lived here for 6 months and can tell you ladies, dont move here. People sell drugs in the parking lot, strangers sitting in the stairwell because its pitch black, they say only certain dog breeds are allowed but my neighbor has a 60lb pit bull, how is that allowed? I've talked to several over people living here and they all echo the same problems. Safety and maintainance is absolutely not something this property managers care about. Be ware.Read More
Meh...
October 5, 2017 - Review from Apartments.comIf you move into these apartments be aware that the walls and floors are DEFINITELY thin so if you don't like bumping get an upstairs apartment. However, you will still hear your neighbors' activities. Regardless, its a nice quiet neighborhood considering the fact. Wood roaches are here and I've never seen them before moving here and they are HUGE!!!! Seriously! They scared me the first time I saw them but the maintenance office was good for taking care of them the 3 times I called about them. ...Each time responding in a manner that took no time at all... If you do decide to move here just remember to mind two rules that I found harsh beyond reason. 1. parking passes are given to each resident for visitors to be able to park without having their cars towed (understandable). Parking passes are only good for 5 times out of each month (not understandable). 2. Colonial apartments have steep NSF fees. It's a $50 NSF fee and they have a strict policy not to wave it. My personal experience was due to simply placing the wrong routing number into the information requiring my checking account info. I called the office to see if it could be forgiven but they basically told me that I had made a $50 mistake. On top of that, my bank takes a few days to process the payment which would be after the grace period. Meaning I'd have to also pay the late fee. Which makes it a $95 mistake. (so number a two is that they are very unforgiving)Read More
Worst place I've ever lived
June 19, 2017 - Review from Apartments.comHave had multiple maintenance issues since moving in in January 2017. Had no air conditioning from March until middle of june, finally got fixed after sending certified letter threatening legal action. Refrigerator leaked water all over food and floor maintenance cand in multiple times and just turned temp to Max causing our food to freeze. Finally getting this fixed after sending letter. Do not move here
