From -Anonymous-: New leases at Colonial Grand have a clause that allows management to "elect to provide communication services including but not limited to telephone, internet, and video programming" with 30 days' notice to the resident.

2008-11-30T17:32:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Colonial Grand at Madison forced valet trash service on every resident at a cost based on the size of the apartment last year.

Colonial Grand at Madison: Colonial Grand Madison - Not so great (Not Recommending)

2007-08-27T15:05:10-06:00

From leszek68: We have been living at the Colonial Grand at Madison for about 8 months now. The curb appeal is great, but below the surface, what you get is far from what you pay for. The communication with office staff leaves plenty to be desired. THough friendly, they are not at ... [click to read full apartment review]

Colonial Grand at Madison: Great Place to Live, Bad Place to Move From (Not Recommending)

2007-07-16T11:09:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Wonderful apartment complex. I've only lived in two complexes, both owned by Colonial, and I have to say that it's a very beautiful complex and a great place to live. The apartment units are well-maintained, and they are in superb shape when you move in.I think, however, they're quite excessive ... [click to read full apartment review]

Colonial Grand at Madison: Not Worth It (Not Recommending)

2007-06-27T09:53:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Staff "policy" is not to answer the phone if there is someone in the office. This means that if you don't live there, but are checking it out, they give you their full attention. BUT, once you move in, your calls will never be answered. Concerns and complaints are ignored ... [click to read full apartment review]

Colonial Grand at Madison: For the price, not recommended (Not Recommending)

2007-05-14T10:06:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This complex is nothing special. It's a bit pricey for the area and as such, one would expect more than what they get. Compliants fall on deaf ears. Cheap construction leads to thin walls and noisy neighbors. Again, as complaints fall on deaf ears, noisy neighbors have to be tolerated. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Colonial Grand at Madison: Rates very LOW to me - over priced ... (Not Recommending)

2007-05-14T08:37:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've read the reviews and suspect many who were positive are simply being a bit overly polite or are not really all that familiar or experienced with what's available elsewhere - particularly outside that geographic locale. I DID like the location since it was only a few minutes from where ... [click to read full apartment review]

Colonial Grand at Madison: (Not Recommending)

2007-04-09T14:10:57-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Management here is very poor. They will do whatever they need to in order to get you to move in; however, the hospitality stops there. They consistently hand out rent renewal rates late (which go up by the hundreds per year,) so that you are stuck paying more money than ... [click to read full apartment review]

Colonial Grand at Madison: know before you rent (Not Recommending)

2005-02-08T22:23:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: That this place seems nice and new, but the apartments are really cheap quality wise. For the price they are charging, you would think that the premium is since everything is sort of new. However, in the 5 months I have lived here, my fridge has already broken down twice, ...

Colonial Grand at Madison: A bad choice (Not Recommending)

2004-06-14T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Stay away from this apartment community. The management only cares about money. The leasing staff is very unorganized and unhelpful. They are very nice until you sign the lease, and then they could care less about you. I know of several residents who considered legal action against them for various ...

Colonial Grand at Madison: Look elsewhere (Not Recommending)

2007-06-27T11:21:56-06:00

Colonial Grand at Madison: Terrible (Not Recommending)

2004-03-30T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This was the most painful and absurd experience I have ever had with an apartment management staff. They are completely unprofessional and completely unresponsive to your needs.

In the end I spoke with a lawyer who assured me that I had enough grounds to seek litigation. Sadly as a young ... [click to read full apartment review]

Colonial Grand at Madison: This isn´t the best (Not Recommending)

2004-03-30T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have been living there for 2 years. Over that time my rent increased almost $100. If you need your rent verifed by a morgage company it is $25 (to fill out a simple sheet of paper!!). The management doesn´t return phone calls. They say that the police officer will ...

Colonial Grand at Madison: Going Down Hill (Recommending!)

2004-03-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have been a resident for nearly four years. Maintenance is definitely WORSE! The buildings need to be pressure washed to remove spiders/spider webs, wasp nests, dirt, etc.

If you are handicapped, plan on fighting the non-impaired for the handicapped parking spaces. Management does NOTHING to enforce parking rules.

The "lake" at ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: I have been a resident for over a year at the property and really enjoy the convenience and the quietness of it.
