Colonial Parke Apartments

friendships with my neighbors and the staff.

price and service!

in that specific area. Not to mention our trade-a-book stands, which I love to go through and also donate to often. It’s a good price for a nice apartment, in a beautiful complex, located in a prime location for people who love to shop, foodies, students, and more.

maintenance is really good, I’ve never had a problem with them. They got rid of the on-site laundromat, and my unit does not have connections so I have to take my laundry to an offsite laundromat and it’s extremely annoying. The office people are nice and actually answer the phone (when I first lived here they were never there). It looks like they are updating the pool, I never swam because I never saw them clean it but it’s different now. There is a lot of crime around the area, it’s on the edge of the market street corridor and it shows. There are definitely some sketchy people that live here (improving but still there). Lately someone has been in the parking lot messing with peoples gas caps. I live on the second floor and I feel bad for those on the first. The structure of the building is terrible and at some parts I feel like I’m going to fall through. It creams and is extremely loud and I’m one of those people that tries really hard to be considerate of those below me. It’s not a terrible place to live (in the winter), you get what you pay for. My rent has been raised over $250 and it’s starting to not be worth it anymore. I used to desperately want to move because I felt unsafe in the area but it’s gotten better. I like that they added a dog park, but really a laundromat should have came first.

saw my apartment for the first day which was move-in day because I was living far away, the apartment was still dirty! The carpet was horrible and the apartment had a bad odor. I had to move all my furniture in because my movers were only available at that time. I took photos of the carpet and showed them to the main office and they had a company to shampoo and clean the carpet. They had to go around the furniture. The carpet still look horrible because it's old. My last apartment complex gave me a new carpet and made sure the apartment was clean before I moved in. The toilet also leans, I'm on the second floor and it feels like it's going to fall through the floor any moment now. There is a big unit in the living room for air condition and heat. It reminds you of the units in hotels. I'm actually okay with this because I live in a one bedroom apartment and it circulates pretty well for me. I just make sure I don't turn it off completely during the day. So far it hasn't had a huge affect on my power bill. The corridor need to be cleaned on a regular basis. Looks like you're in a horror movie. The lighting in the apartment isn't great either. With that said, I actually feel safe living here. Everyone has been friendly and I never had a moment as of yet where I feared for my safety. You may have to watch your step at times because not everyone picks up after their pet. I stepped in some waste on my way to work one morning. Everyone in the leasing office has been very kind. Robyn is really nice. Anytime I had a maintenance request, the maintenance crew fixed the problem right away. My only issue is with the apartment itself. I know their old but it's time for them to be renovated (floors, walls and central air). Overall, it's not bad but I just had a few concerns while living here. I hope everyone find this helpful.
