I chose Newport Colony because my sister lived here from 2011 to 2014. The apartment was well kept, the grounds were clean and the 'feel' of the community was nice/peaceful.
I needed to make a last minute change to the apartment I had on hold; Nick was awesome - he got me into an apartment with only 3 days notice and he sent me pictures to make sure I liked it! Jessica was great during the lease signing and answered all my new-resident questions with a smile.
So far my apartment is great - it was very clean on my move in day - a big thing for me since I have a young child.
The only disappointment is the grounds. It seems they are not as well kept as back in 2014 and its looks a little shabby. As one reviewer stated, the leaves are slippery - my daughter slipped on the playground :(
I haven't had a maintenance call yet so my review is based the crews work to ready my apartment.
BTW - my sister moved back to the community as well :)
