    I recently moved in to Colonial Grand at Research Park. It is a great community with well lit areas which is great because as soon as the sun goes down, you can clearly see. The unit was very clean during move- in and it is a spacious place in general.

      It's a nice place to live. The second floor is colder in the winter and during the summer it's to hot it's not an in between. But the staff is friendly and the kids love it just not in budget and not being able to downsize is the problem.

        It's been great staying here the staff is very friendly and helpful. Every time I needed a repair or a concern the staff was on top of it within the first 24 hours and completed within the first 24 hours. When walking around all the staff knows me by name and acknowledging me every time. The staff has made my stay outstanding and I want to extend my stay here

              It has been great. Quite, well maintained, really nice landscaping, nice floor plans, great patios (or sun rooms), and pet friendly. Only issue I've ever had has been the limited parking after 7:30 at night.

                The manufactured lack of parking spaces this complex created while being in cahoots with towing companies is absolutely disgusting. My rent has increased over $100 since I moved here and now I have to pay for my own parking space? On top of the lack of service in my apartment? I will be leaving at the end of this lease.

                  We had a horror story from a previous apartment complex, and we came to Colonial Grand. In 2 hours, we checked out the apartment, filled out paperwork, and got the keys. It was the easiest move in ever!

                    Negative and disappointing. Maintenance requests remain unresolved for months. Office manager is rude and unconcerned about issues and consistently avoids resolving them. Icy roads are never treated although plenty of products are available.

                      Haven't had many problems at all. Had someone go through my car one night but other than that no problems with crime. The price was great for the square footage when we first came here but will probably be moving elsewhere when our lease ends.

                          Pretty good, no complaints. Only thing I am continuously concerned with is the noise level after hours from neighbors. Everything else is fine. Property and all. Staff seems to take care and handle matters of residents timely

                            My experience with this complex is mixed. This is a noisy area that has gotten a little less over the past 6 months, but was unbearable during my first year here. My apartment is ok, but heating system is terrible only works on axillary. No break-in which is good, but my vehicle has been towed twice for once not having a tag in window and the other for the tag falling off of dash. On the other hand the grounds are kept up nicely and the pool is always available.

                                I've live here for 4 years in apartments and townhouse. The amount of apartments that come with garages is a plus. Office status is great and maintenance gets the job done on the same day of request, most of the time.

                                  I would say this place is okay overall but there's a lot of small things that are annoying. The counter space for the kitchen and bathrooms is less than ideal. As a male, I had to buy bathroom furniture to fit everything I needed to be easily accessible. I can sometimes hear my neighbors. Above me and to my side. Luckily I don't sleep at the same time as them so it isn't a huge issue. Some of the speed bump here were constructed without the cars in mind. Your car will go across it diagonally every time and so expect getting out of the complex to be bumpy. The one thing I appreciated was the maintenance staff. They were very helpful for the most part. ** Editing this for now since Sandy did get in touch with me about an issue that I had.

                                            I have had a pretty good experience with this apartment complex. The staff is very nice, understanding, and they just all seem like real good people; however, I don't believe the price I am paying matchs the value of my apartment.

                                                Was excellent! Everyone was very helpful and friendly and provided all the information needed to make this transition from out of state as smooth as possible. I would have to say the best experience is when you have a great staff to make the experience so much more better and easier for your tenants
