MAA Lakewood Ranch Apartments

I was told the wrong information for the requirements that they need to be accepted in approve for a apartment. When I submitted my information online I was denied because I was told the wrong information from one of the leasing agents!

Got stuck at Colonial Grand (CG) during covid, and I must say that living at CG was the WORST experience of my life. In my opinion, the place is a dump. The grey buildings look depressing. The hall areas are disgusting. The front office people are nasty; the maintenance work is usually shabby—although the workers are pretty nice. I would talk to neighbors to see if my assessment was too harsh, but apparently not. The buildings are old and constantly need repairs. I recall that we had 4 leaks in... our ceiling, one of which ran down our wall like a waterfall, spilled onto the carpet, and went into the apartment below us. I asked for a tarp to no avail. I had to get clothing in my closet dry cleaned, at my expense, after one of the leaks. Appliances were cheap and faulty. The washing machine ruined some of my clothing. We had 2 bathrooms, but one of the toilets was constantly breaking. My husband asked for a new toilet, but they refused. We got tired of complaining and figured we’d just live without it working properly. Our stove caught fire and we had 3, yes, 3 other stoves put in during our stay (approx 3 years). The trash removal system is gross. I could go on and on and on. Lastly, I just want to say that our dishwasher broke after we gave our 2 month notice of moving. The administration never bothered to fix the appliance for us. I knew that we were there temporarily, so I endured the horrible experience. I didn’t realize how depressing the place was for me, until I moved. Read More

Everything was so easy to complete in regards to the application and move-in process. The Office staff are very friendly and helpful, and didn’t get annoyed when I called with many questions!

This place is simply peacefully surrounded by nature and wild life, good and friendly neighbors. The pool is clean and any issue we raised to the office was fixed in time manner.

I give Colonial Grand of Lakewood Ranch 1 star because I cant give it 0. After living there for a year, I could not wait to move. This place is not worth the money they charge even though its got a decent location. The lawn maintenance team does a horrible job and leaves a mess making the place look unkept all the time. Ive never once seen the dumpster not overflowing and smelling horrible. No one picks up after their dogs at the dog park or around the apartments and the office overlooks it.... Everything about this place is outdated and they try to make it look nice with the cheapest materials they can find (countertops, cabinets, fixtures, etc). Do your research because for what they are charging you can get so much more for at other places in the area like Echo Lake or even TGM by Target is cheaper. Living here was a huge mistake. Read More
