The Colony

I’ve written previously regarding the Colony Apartments and because our lease is ending soon, which I am excited to announce, I’d like to take the time to truly summarize my stay.
There is little to none insulation between tenants both upstairs and next door. There were numerous occasions in which I was able to hear the tenant above me vomiting. I want to forewarn you The Colony was cheaply built. This leaves me wonder if I’m using my personal bathroom, are my neighboring tenants able to hear me?
My cabinet drawers broke multiple times, even after the fact the maintenance men came in and «fixed» the broken drawer leaving me to find a way for it to work broken.
The Colony does not pay for burnt out light bulbs.
Parking is horrible during the weekends due to the fact that visitors are able to park freely, leaving you (as the renter) to park several buildings down from your own.
You will quickly find that there are multiple people (8+) living in the 2 – 3 bedroom apartments. Leaving you to wonder, what is going on and why is that not reported/​noticed by the association in the office?
You will often find the dryers not working properly, which leaves your clothes wet and having you to put in another $ 1.50 on your laundry card. It is extremely frustrating.
During the winter months, the floors are beyond cold. Your heating bill will be high due to the floors.
Again to the bathrooms, the most disgusting smell comes from the vent when you turn your fan. The bathroom ventilation from all 6 units must be connected in an odd way because there is NO way in which I should be able to smell such foul smells when I turn on my vent fan. I have to leave my own bathroom.
***I sincerely advice all perspective renters to turn away. I know the pricing is cheaper in comparison to other complexes, but I regret wasting my money and time with these people here at The Colony.
***If no stars were available on Unilocal,that is what I’d rate it.

DO NOT RENT HERE!!! They SCREW you with the lease. The leasing agents are empty between the ears. They literally make it IMPOSSIBLE for you to move out. The rent goes up $ 100 every year. If you decide that you want to move out, you have to give them two months notice before your lease is up. You cannot wait till your lease is up to leave. Good luck finding a place that will be willing to leave their rental vacant for two months waiting for you to move out of the Colony.
Take my situation for example. We have to renew our lease by the end of this month, if we do not renew in time we get stuck paying a month to month rate of $ 1658. If we decide not to renew and leave when our lease contract is up August 28, we still have to pay two months rent at the monthly rate of $ 1658 because we didn’t give them 60 day notice. So even if I wait to fulfill my contractual agreement and leave when I’m supposed to, they still screw you!!! We have found other better areas to rent but they are not willing to wait two months for us to move in and I don’t blame them. This place does not care about their tenants and they screw them either way so there pockets get bigger no matter what you try and do. Stupid me for not reading the contract in detail but don’t make them same mistake I did. DO NOT RENT HERE! Find a place where it will be much easier to move out if you decide to do so. If I could give them negative stars I would.

This is the worst place you can rent from. A word of advice DONT RENT HERE! Spend your money somewhere where people are nicer and don’t charge you for every little thing. And when your current lease is ending they always want to increase your rent. You would think they want to keep you here and they would be willing to help you but instead they are rude and inconsiderate. They’re are way to many Indian people and it’s always to loud and not peaceful at all. Just absolute disaster renting from here. I CANT WAIT to get out of here in couple months there’s a reason why almost every apartment in my building is empty

Great price for this area! Gym, pool, tennis courts, volleyball courts, computer room, and party room rentals are all included. Staff is friendly and always helpful. Maintenance is quick, efficient, and friendly. Everyone who lives here is pretty chill, no crazies and no drama. Not much more you can ask for.

if you do decide to take this chance and move in… make sure you keep up with all your paper work. thay loose everything and make you look like a crazy person. deal with corporate through the website not with the office. staff is rude there all the time.
