Resident 2014 - 2015

Colonial Crest is a living nightmare!!! I personally live here and am stuck until my years lease is up. I have a two bedroom, one and a half bath. The half bath hasn't worked since the day I moved in which was last summer '14. I have had them come 5 different times to which they never fix it because they said it needs to be removed from the wall (obviously it was too much effort for them to attempt to put in.) BUGS!!! If you don't like gnats, ants, huge spider crickets, regular crickets, brown recluses, stink bugs, or random hard shell bugs then don't choose this place. There is SO many gateways for those critters to get in these apartments! Between the old screens, through the rotted edges of the outside doors and other places that I can't even figure out. --During the day time you can see sunlight through the gap of the front door where they won't put a seal up. NOISE! You can hear everything your neighbors are doing and I am sure they hear everything from me as well. The walls are so thin. It is the most annoying thing listening to other people having a conversation, have sex, bump music, run up and down the stairs etc. Price.. They are very affordable with all they offer which is what will drawl you in. But during the winter months my electric bill ran $300-400 every month. They are very poorly insulated. They even send out an email during the winter constantly reminding tenants to keep the heat running so that the pipes don't freeze. Move in???? The day I moved in I was given a different unit than I had signed for. One of the ladies informed me that another girl gave the apartment away to another person. They are poorly oganized. So I was stuck in an apartment which "they had been cleaning for a few weeks." (The neighbor told me they had only been cleaning it for 3 days.) It was awful when I walked in! I wanted to turn around the first day I moved in! I honest to God cried that night and have many other nights from being so frustrated. My shower window had about an inch of black fuzzy mold buildup and they told me to just poor bleach on it and it will go away. I scrubbed that off but still have issues with black mold that is stuck in the dry wall and continues to spread. The carpets were old and were covered in cigarette burns from parties over the years I'm guessing. The whole apartment smelled like a cigarette. The dishwasher is terrible. It barely works. The refrigerator randomly freezes things some days and some days it wants to be normal and there is many more. My point is these apartments have seen better days. They need gutted and remodeled from the ground up if they ever plan to have a future with this place. You have no privacy. The staff will walk through your apartment whether you are there or not. They don't give 24 hr notices. Maintenance is lazy and doesn't know how to do their jobs(I listened to them discuss doing meth and which kind they prefer outback of my apartment while they were picking up trash and trimming things.) Bloomington has many other places to offer, don't choose this place.
