Colonial Estates

Maintenance is top notch! I’m on a top corner so it’s quiet. Dog park is kept clean. Communication between the management and renters is good. I like that the location is close to the freeway but I don’t hear freeway noise. Those are the most important things for me.

The bad reviews are 100% TRUE. Please listen! I couldn’t wait for my lease to be over! **You will be charged an additional $65/month for a “community maintenance fee” on top of the listed rent prices.** Management is terrible. They will not address your concerns and will turn against you! HORRIBLE ANT PROBLEM! They will find a way to take all of your security deposit!! Neighbors are extremely noisy. You can smell marijuana everywhere, even in your own apartment. Entrance doors are broken. People smoke in the laundry rooms and leave their trash and ashes on the floor. Parking lot is always full. Work orders will not be addressed! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND FIND ANY OTHER PLACE TO LIVE BUT HERE!!! Make sure you have a lawyer before moving in if you do!

Notice they don't have a good review since 2015? One end of my hallway reeked of dog urine; the other end smelled of pot. There were ant hills actually in the main hallway between the floor and walls. I lost hundreds of dollars in Amazon deliveries because the office refused to accept packages and so they were left in the open. When I told them I wouldn't be renewing my lease next month they told me i had to come in and sign saying so, I told them I couldn't be there due to my schedule and their hours didn't allow it. They said the manager could waive that requirement but refused to do so and they charged me an extra month's rent after the lease expired AND kept my deposit. This property is starting to fall apart and will take every cent they can get from you while saying "There is nothing i can do to help you"

living here isn't too and, but more than half the time the amenities are not working. They take forever to fix things. The hallways always smell like weed and the neighbors are loud. The apartment we have is spacious but we opted to not update the kitchen and bathrooms because we didn't want to pay 100 dollars extra every month based on a cosmetic fix. You can have two animals which is awesome. Lots of kids live here too which causes some minor vandalism on the walls in the hallway and elevator. Washer and dryers are expensive with their token system and don't work well.

Apartments are very nice, new appliances were included in our package, office staff is helpfully and friendly, maintenance is very good and semi prompt on service calls, my only complaint would be rent, in one year our rent raised $115 a month on a one year lease.

I feel like there are better places and worse places to live. It does feel fairly safe. However, the controlled entry door on my building is always broken. Items in the apartments break often. The management is responsive. There are not bugs or rodents anywhere. The common areas of the building is very dated and is somewhat dirty. I feel like there's more for your money elsewhere.
