Colonial Estates Apartamentos

This is an older complex but still a nice place to live. I didn't encounter the issues the previous reviewers stated. There is a new manager and maintenance men. Any issues I had were fixed in a timely manor and the staff was professional. I would recommend this property to friends & family.

It was my first apartment, so I didn’t know any better! The first day of me moving in, my air was out. I contacted the front office, she assured me maintenance would come the next morning. Never came, no big deal my dad fixed it. A month later, I hear a noise in my kitchen and there’s a HUGE rat , not a mouse but a RAT on my stove!! Mind you, we have only been here 4 weeks, barely anything in the apartment. contacted front office, she said mice traps would be placed out and that there has never... been a rat problem before. MICE TRAPS WERE NOT PUT OUT, I once again called my dad to place mouse traps, the RATS were too big to hold! he checked under the stove and there was an old mouse trap, so obviously there was a problem before. fast forward , I contacted once again and the rat problem was never solved. Hot water went out for weeks. I had to move back home temporarily and nothing was ever handled, I left that place and would never recommend!! Not to mention the smell of GRASS coming from the downstairs apartment was ridiculous! do not move here!! SAVE UR MONEY!!! Lee mas

0/10. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
Unprofessional land lord, went 2 weeks without a/c (bc they were waiting on a part), got double charged on insurance, it took over 30 days to get my deposit back, flooded in the parking lot and in the walk ways every time it rained. Also were infested with cockroaches even though we were very clean people.
Would NOT recommend to ANYONE.

I lived here for 2 years- 1 year in the back on a 1st floor unit and the 2nd year up front on the 2nd floor, both 2 bedroom units. In both units the walls were paper thin. The noise was so bad in my first apartment I had to sleep with earplugs in every night. This is why I moved to the 2nd floor. The floors were extremely squeaky and nothing can be done about them unless the joists are replaced. In both units, my cabinetry was disgusting- old water damage, dust, bottoms literally falling out,... etc. To the credit of the complex though, in both units I had very nice kitchen appliances (fridge and gas stove with overhead range).

The general maintenance of both units was underwhelming. replaced window panes were simply caulked in and leaked air all the time. I replaced the weather stripping around my door but you could still see light through it. My electric bill was literally in the hundreds during the summer because of how much the apartment leaked. You get what you pay for though.

The biggest issue I had was after I moved it, it has taken 8 months to get my deposit back. Legally they are required to get your deposit back in 30 days, and if any money was deducted list why and give proof. After fighting for it, I finally got the full amount back, but if I had not emailed them after 3 months post move out I know I never would have gotten a dime.

In the time I was there I never felt unsafe, although police were called to the complex several times for fights etc. It is located in a decent area with easy access to parts of the town. But after my experience, I really wouldn't recommend it to a friend unless they had no other option. Lee mas

Ms Linda is an amazing manager - Colonial Estates is fortunate to have her manage the complex. She is great to work with, very thorough, knows what goes on at the property and works to get things done.

Although the buildings are older, they are affordably priced and most, if not all, I believe, have been upgraded on the inside.
