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 The Donovan Apartment Homes
I have lived here for more than 8 years and I love it! I moved from my previous apartment (which was already great if a little dated) into a newly remodeled one that is really nice. Friendly, professional and responsive staff and maintenance. The only detractor is the propensity to raise rents a lot and no leases beyond 12 months.
Property Manager at The Donovan Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review
We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the renovations and find our team to be friendly and professional! We understand your concerns about the rent and lease terms. We encourage you to visit our office to discuss any issues or concerns you may have. We truly appreciate your loyalty and your feedback! Sincerely, The The Donovan Team
I love these apartments because of the new and modern finishes. The pool and all the perks of being here are amazing. The staff here is so wonderful and helpful, Alecia has always been a grand part of my good experience here! The location of these apartments is so close to southpointe mall which is my favorite!

Thank you for continuing to call our community home! It's our pleasure to provide a wonderful experience here and we look forward to continuing your pleasant experience. Sincerely, The Donovan Team
They have jacked up rent here horribly and repairs are awful. Renovations in the halls are an ugly yellow and grey and the place is always dirty. Pool was down the entire summer. As in months …for a “broken gate latch” then pump repair. Don’t count on consistent access to facilities or timely or quality repairs. Way overpriced for the quality and services. Completely screw over tenants at every chance.

We are very happy to have provided you with such a positive experience! We appreciate the wonderful feedback and know your time is valuable. We will keep pushing to be the best! Take care and have a fabulous day.
Cleaned this apartment head to toe when I moved in. It was gross. Moved out and got no deposit back because there were stains found “under a black light”. Are you kidding me? I even had the carpet professionally cleaned. Snow removal is poor. Numerous people including myself have fallen on ice. Doors slam-so look forward to hearing that all night. Everything is so outdated. They just painted the hallways green and yellow (puke). If you have a garage. You have to take your remote with you everywhere because you have no other choice. Management is awful. They don’t listen to your concerns or care about you.

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We're sorry to hear that you were frustrated by your interaction with us. That is certainly not the experience we want you to have in one of our communities. It appears you haven?t spoken to the Community Manager or Director. Please feel free to contact our office at (402) 420-1200.
Moved out when remodeling whole complex. The apartment I was in was very old, appliances old and stained, carpets very old. Apartment was filthy when I moved in. I just received my deposit refund letter and they charged me for carpet replacement even though I know they are gutting it and remodeling it! I get $30 out of a $200 deposit! Totally screwed over! Bad at snow removal and if you have to walk to a garage pray you don’t fall because they just don’t care. The garages were broken onto last year and they took the key locks off and all you have is the remote to open the door. If you accidentally leave the remote in the car you have to wait until they are there at 9 the next day to get it open so will miss some work. The doors slam and they are hollow so you hear absolutely everything in the hall. I do not recommend!

Don't let the reviews fool you. Management and staff are horrible. They don't care about the residents. Don't expect them to be flexible if you come across any issues. The units are very overpriced. They threw on some paint and new carpet to the buildings (not each apartment unit) and jacked up the price by at least $200. Would never recommend.
Property Manager at The Donovan Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review
Hello, we are so sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. That is certainly not the experience we want you to have in one of our communities. In addition to painting and replacing carpet in our buildings, we are also replacing the windows and patio doors in all of our apartment homes, as well remodeling each apartment with upgraded finishes as they become available. If you would be willing to reach out to our staff at (402) 227-1537 we would be happy to try to work with you to make your experience better. Have a great day!
This apartment complex is fantastic! I have lived in 6 different rental properties around Lincoln, 5 of which were by different property managers and The Colony/IRET is by far the best one I have ever had to deal with. The office staff (Shelby, Vivian, and Kendra) are beyond friendly and easy to work with. I rarely had to submit maintenance requests, but when I did, they were dealt with quickly and I often got a personal follow up after it was completed. The community is safe and quiet and the other residents are so friendly and welcoming. The rent is arguably on the higher side, but it’s one of the cheapest in the area for what you’re getting and it’s worth every penny. My only regret is I couldn’t stay longer. It truly felt like home.

Thank you for your praise and kind comments about our team. If you ever need anything else from us, please feel free to give us a call. Have a fantastic day!
I moved into The Colony Apartment Homes in 2016 and I have not regretted it since. The office staff (Kendra, Vivian, and Shelby) are warm and friendly and so very helpful. I struggled coming from a landlord who was difficult to work with but Vivian showed so much empathy and support and helped me transition in a non-stressful way. The apartments are warm and cozy, the maintenance staff is efficient and quick to respond, and the community is perfect. We recently got a new puppy and the animal community here is incredible! Highly recommend living here! Lydia and Alex

Copy The staff are amazing, especially Vivian! They are always willing to help and go the extra mile. Vivian was great in walking me through different floor plans and costs and helping me find what suited me best. They know you by first name! Even my 3 year old knew 2/3 office staff names. :) All staff was always friendly and helpful! The other tenants in the two different buildings I lived in, especially 3741 building were great and very friendly. The apartments were always kept clean and tidy. Also very spacious. Well thought out floor plans and accented walls so it’s not all apartment white and feels more like home. Maintenance also responded timely every time I placed a request. Only down side is I had water leaking because of the roof (not maintenance’s fault) and it took their contractor forever to get in and fix the leak, so I had bubbled walls and browning spots. Complaints (which never deterred me or would in the future from renting): *sometimes there’s no parking, so catch a garage while it’s on special! *IRET (the big company, not The Colony staff) is unwilling to do better pricing with tenants when they re-sign leases which is really unfortunate for tenants wanting to continue renting (the price will go up when your lease is done, even when signing a new lease)

Hello, we appreciate the positive review about your recent experience with us at The Colony Apartment Homes. We're happy that you found our staff to be so supportive during your experience here and we thank you for your feedback; it gives us the opportunity to know what we're doing right and where we can improve. Thanks again and have a great day!
The staff is so very helpful. We enjoyed the quiet, clean, convenient location, and our loft apartment. We had very few issues with the apartment all of which were resolved very quickly. We would recommend highly.
This apartment complex is great! Attractive landscaping, secure building entry, awesome variety of floor plans, and fantastic on-site work out room and pool. Also, large amount of garage parking that is near your building. They even allow up to 50 pound dogs, with several doggie outposts spread throughout the complex. They recently added an on-site fenced in dog-park to allow your dog the freedom to run around. Upon renewing your lease, they'll even give you an upgrade menu to choose from to better your apartment. It is also in a great location, close to South Pointe mall, restaurants, doctors offices, and a grocery store. This place truly has it all! Come take a look, I promise you'll find a floor plan that you'll love!
The apartments are clean and the staff is responsive and helpful. The bedrooms are large and they have a lot of closet space. They are well kept, but haven't been updated and the cabinets are obviously original. Also, they have a wall between the washer and dryer which is odd and wastes space and is very inconvenient foe front loading sets, as the washer connection is on the wrong side for the way the door opens. The appliances are ok, but it is not a chefs kitchen and the stove needs updating as well. Overall a nice place, but the layout is more suited to roommates that live in their rooms than a family that shares a living space.
