A bittersweet Complex

I have lived at Colonial Grand BC for 2 years. My experience has been bittersweet. I was super excited about moving here at first due to the "luxury" look. Well I didn t know any better, and now I realize how the ratings are so bad. I think the units are overpriced for the amenities that you receive. The best thing about the complex to me was "garden tub, large bathroom space, and landscaping. Parking sucks, unless you have a garage or covered parking, you are out of luck...The carpet and paint in the units are cheap, therefore easy to stain. And the counters stain super easy. The pools are not cleaned out regularly and the hot tub hardly works. Within the 2 years I lived here, the gate has been open 80% of the time. Therefore, it was a waste buying the access remote. Many tenants don t clean up after their pets. Due to large volume of tenets and low staffing (maintenance), things are not fixed in a decent amount of time. I recently had gnats for weeks, not sure how they came considering I don t have plants or food out. The office staff was not consistent for a while, many managers coming in and out. However, I like the current office staff we have. I take my dog up there to hang out every once in a while. I did not renew my lease, I will be moving out this month. Overall, I would not recommend this complex to anyone because I feel there are better apartments for better deals available elsewhere.
