We have lived at Colonial East for one year and have renewed for this year. It has been a very nice place to live. It is conveniently located for grocery shopping (not even a 5 minute walk to the nearest supermarket), the mall, a playground/park, and the university (about 20-30 minutes walking, but there is also a bus stop close-by if you don't have a car). The landlord and his wife know all their tenants and maintain a professional rapport with everyone. The apartment itself is well-maintained and the hardwood floors are really beautiful. The prices are also very reasonable. We plan to stay as long as we are in Bloomington.
