Colonial Square Apartment Homes

I’ve lived here 12 years and I really enjoy the complex. I especially like the gardens and the fountain, proximity to stores, restaurants, etc. and the multi-cultural neighborhood. The complex is always letting us know what’s going on and offers lots of activities. One thing I would love to change is the frequent managerial changes. They’ve all been great, but it would be nice to grow into longer and stronger manager/tenant relationships.

Lived here for 4.5 years. Cheap rent, responsive maintenance, great staff, convenient location and nice scenery. As for the negatives: 1) The laundry room is closed/breaks frequently, at least 1-2 times every year. You'll get an email when it's broken/fixed, but you'll have to be prepared to go without laundry for 2-6 days. 2) Noise. You'll occasionally have noisy neighbors, kids running past your door, people playing music late at night. It's not too bad, but I've been annoyed with the noise once every 1-2 weeks. 3) Package delivery/safety. Packages have to be delivered to your doorstep, which has the risk of theft. I've had one package stolen while I've lived here. As someone living alone, living minimalistically, I enjoyed living here, and all the issues were minor to me. I didn't have any major problems like safety issues, infestations or outages for my entire stay here. The only reason I ended up moving was that they didn't have any open 2-bedroom apartments, otherwise I would've lived here another year.

Edit: If you are a working couple its hard to live without dishwasher and with common laundry...In common laundry mostly 2 machines are non-functional and they are increasing rates of usage from 1.50$ to 1.75$ for washer per use. But if you have budget restrictions it's not a bad place. There are positives as well as mentioned in earlier comment. PROS: 1) Price is decent. 2) Well maintained and lot of trees and flowers. Huge outside space. Something or the other is cleaned all the time. 3) Indoor swimming pool which is well cleaned. 4) Small golf area for practice, volleyball court, badminton court, small gym. 5) Management has been helpful so far. 6) Management tries their best to give you a pest free home. 7) Transit options are awesome! Bus line is right outside the apartment. 8) Almost everything is nearby including crossroad mall accessible by walk. CONS: 1) Laundry is shared, Dishwasher is not there(in this unit). 2) You have to close your windows almost all the time in the lobby area otherwise people peak in all the time which is hell annoying. Haven't lived here for long to find more cons but overall I'm very happy!

Lived there for 10 month lease. No dishwasher. They will charge you a cleaning fee of $55 (not including carpets ($95) or wall re-paint ($30)) even if they only need to wipe down one window or counter you missed. Make em work for it. Rent increase was 7.6% after 10 months.
