Colchester Estates

Look, every apartment complex has its ups and downs. For me, as a single woman, dog and cat owning working woman, I really like living here. The kitchens remind me of a kitchen out of HGTV. The hardwood floors throughout are a tiny bit outdated but nice overall. I love that I did not (nor would I have) have to remove any pets. They welcome cats and dogs. There are no official dog parks but this is definitely a dog friendly community. Maintenance does not always fix things as fast as I would like, but they get fixed. If the sub pump fails, the basement can flood. That's only happened once I. My few years here. The turn over rate seems high (meaning people moving in and out), but I've been here since 2021 and just renewed my lease. Everything is always situational in life.. if I must post o

We have been here since late 2018, it's been good for the most part. The only issue we constantly have been dealing with is children ruining other tenants properties, breaking the gates, and leaving there bikes in front of other people's apartments. The building manager is great- no issues from us. We will renew our lease in February.

My husband and I have been here for almost a year. The neighbors are all nice, the grounds work around the front of each apartment building could use a little TLC and parking spaces could be numbered so there isn't ongoing confusion when new people move in. The playground isn't safe for young children.

Highlights: A quiet area that is set back. They are working on updating the property. The updated apartments are nice. There is a new property management company for 2021. Lowlights: No thermostats in any of the apartments expect number 1. It's currently 50 degrees F in our apartment. When construction work is done, they will not clean up. Multiple tenants dealt with punctured tires. A 'pet-friendly' community that sends you an e-mail if you walk your dog too close to a tenants building. They added gates to the property for no reason. When the work was finished, they realized they could not get garbage trucks in. Every week someone takes one of the gate arms down. The location has changed names and management companies multiple times in the past few years.

Not sure why the property manager is busy posting inflammatory - anti trans - conversation starters in the local community facebook when the place is a mess. Horrible way to interact with your tenets and community. Such a disrespectful woman.
