Colonnade

The absolute worst. We stayed at the apt for 8 months while our house was being built. We chose this apartment complex because of the proximity to our new house.
From the start I should have known this place was awful. We moved in and the dishwasher, dryer, and one stover range did NOT work. They forced us to submit maintenance requests after moving in instead of it working from the start. There were also stains on the carpet they said they would send someone to clean and never did.
The gates… NEVER worked. Constant issues with safety and cleaning on property.
Constant break ins, several NEVER reported to residences. We only knew from other neighbors letting us know. (The office knew about all of them)
The worst is when we moved out they are now CHARGING us for carpet replacement because it shows stains UNDERNEATH the carpet and stated we should have noted it before we moved in. (AS IN WE SHOULD HAVE RIPPED UP THE CARPET AND CHECKED IT??)
We now have a lawyer involved. It has been 3 WEEKS and NO ONE will talk to us on the phone they are only "able" to communicate over email.

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read More

This place is a joke - facilities are lack luster at best - black mold everywhere. highly recommend looking any where else but here.

Lived here (part-time) for one year.
My packages were almost always stolen.
There were car break-ins all the time.
Did NOT feel safe here.
Some of the residents in my building seemed to be professional pot smokers - this smell seeped into my apartment.
Old apartment with cheap upgrades.
To extend my lease was going to be $300 more per month! (I knew I was leaving before this renal increase notice regardless)

Lastly, I am a single woman - no pets, no kids, and am very clean. I left my apartment… in great condition and spent time scrubbing the tub, toilet, sink, windows, etc. and was still denied my full deposit back. They also tried to charge me for something I turned back in after moving out. Thankfully I took pictures for proof of me returning it and they removed the charge. Make sure you do the same!

Parking is awful. Our car was vandalized twice and broken into once.

The apartments themselves are badly measured. The master bedrooms doors overlap with the door to the bathroom. One of the counters doesn’t open completely due to the stove/oven. The dishwasher is always sliding around in its cubie. There’s also the problem of the sprinklers that they point at the only sidewalks that lead into the apartments which they turn on at what seems to be random hours (i.e. 5p one day, and then 8:30p… the next) which can make getting into your own home a water event.

People also drive like maniacs within the complex at all hours. Instead, we are subject to the constant weaving of cars going fast next to us with little regard to anyone’s safety. This happens in the mornings when students are walking to the bus stop that is at the front of the complex and even at 1am.

There's also only one place to throw away trash and it's all the way in back of the buildings which can suck if you have a lot of stuff to throw away. It usually gets overrun with trash as well. There’s usually a bunch of furniture that other residents throw out around there too so it can be a bit of an eye sore.

The apartments are beautiful but I wouldn't recommend living here. Read More
