The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Colonie Apartments
The place is comfortable, quiet, and safe, with friendly and respectful neighbors. The manager is also very kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with.
The community itself is wonderful. Nice, quiet and respectful neighbors. However, management isn't. They're quite petty and unprofessional. Once they've caught a grudge they proceed to treat you in accordance to that. They'll post multiple coopies of your account balance on your door for all of the building to see. Because apparently the concealed notice they've sent through the mail isn't enough. They'll also refuse your entry into their office upon moving out and deny you the ability to discuss the final inspection notes with them. Again, these actions are based on their indecent feelings toward you, once they feel like you're on their bad side. The community itself truly is a nice one but even the rent they're charging for cheap pant on the bathroom tub, the spotty paint job throughout the apartment and the somewhat makeshift architecture of the apartment is a bit overpriced.

Paige, Thank you for the compliments re Colonies' wonderful, quite and respectful community! We work very hard to ensure all our residents have that same experience. We enjoyed having your daughter Taylor as a resident. Because the rent was chronically late for the last 5 months of your lease, you received the NYS required late notices, via door, regular and certified mail each month you were late. We strictly follow our attorney's direction for placement. In addition, as stated and listed on our door, we are more than happy to meet with anyone re their move out inspection results, we just require an appmt. When you arrived, we were in other appmts. You chose not to schedule a meeting or call. Your account was just sent to collections because you did not pay the last month's rent before moving out nor over the last several months, despite your written assurances to do so. We hope this clears things up for you. We wish you the best of luck in the future.
My daughter loves living at Colonie in her spacious 1 bdrm apt! She’s been there for 4.5 yrs and feels happy, safe and comfortable.

I have been a resident for almost 2 years at Colonie Apartments and have just renewed for 18 more months because I am so happy here. The apartments are spacious, clean, and the location is great.

We appreciate your positive review about your recent experience with us! If you ever need anything else from us, please feel free to give us a call or stop by. Have an awesome day!
I've lived here for a few years. It's quiet. The grounds and amenities are well kept. It has a nice tennis court. The pool is always clean, as is the weight room. The staff is responsive and super friendly. My apartment is updated, spacious, and bright; has really nice floors, and the walls aren't paper-thin. I don't hear my neighbor unless we are in the parking lot or hanging out by the pool!
