It was great from start to finish, they made everything so easy and seamless. The prices are so affordable too for such a great location. Thereā€™s everything you might need within walking distance and even the bus stop is very close to the entrance.ā€¦Ā See More >

    The worst experience that a family can have in their leasing place. Not safe, not clean, not nice, not secure, not a good place to live. I would never recommend my family or friends to live in collins crossing apartments or any of their parties.ā€¦Ā See More >

                        Be well aware, this complex is marketed heavily toward college students, to the point where they do not acknowledge they may have residents who aren't students.
