I lived at Colony Woods for three years, and aside from the close proximity to school and the cheap rent, the place is absolutely horrible.

First, the kitchen is GROSS! All of the kitchens are carpeted with this VERY old indoor/outdoor carpeting. There is ONE, let me repeat that.. ONE drawer in the kitchen and it is not even big enough to put a standard utensil holder in. It is about 4 inches wide! Everything inside is old, old, old.

Unless you have really nice things, you will feel like you are living in a $50 hole in the wall. The laundry facility is gross, and things are stolen all of the time, accidents and break-ins in the parking lot EVERY single day. Parking itself is bad.

We had the pool shut down due to some bacteria, and the fitness center is old, and VERY dirty.

I have verified through the city, or I would not write this, but there was a murder here in 1997 that I recently found out. This complex has been coined "Felony Hoods."

They absolutely RAPE you when it comes to roommate change fees and such.

I am nervous when I leave because the place was so nasty at initial check in ( and I am -----retentive clean) that they will blame me for huge cigarette spots and crap on the 30 year old carpet.

A very close friend of mine was told she had an apartment ready for her and had signed a lease, and it turns out that they overlease the apartments and told her "too bad" until a lawyer was involved.

Another one of my friends has had his car spit on and keyed by the maintenance workers.

Oh, and the staff likes to try to suck every cent out of you for anything they can "make-up" out of thin air!

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. I WOULD NEVER SEND A CHILD OF MINE HERE FOR THEIR SAFETY AND WELL-BEING.

Please just do one walk-through and you will understand.
