Colonial Village

I should probably not comment on this apartment complex, now that I am still renting. However, I feel that I have to, to inform other potential tenants the way I wasn't told.\r \r I didn't have high expectations at all, as it wasn't really my decision to stay here. I was actually looking at a couple other places, most of which offer much more spacious rooms and better on-site facilities at relatively the same price, possibly $80 higher per month. It was my roommate, however, who convinced me to stay here because he didn't want to spend an extra $40 on his part, the ample parking lot (though he didn't have a car), and because he can easily get on a direct bus to school..\r \r I moved here in October 08 and I must say that I still can't feel settled or at home up until now as the apartment has been plagued with problems of all sorts, e.g. bed bugs, poor toilet design led to clogs twice(in 2 months!), faucets always leak etc etc. Calling the "24-hour" maintenance is pointless and complaining more

Colonial Village is a really nice place to live - it's located on the east side of the Merrimack River in the north end of Manchester, so it's very close to the downtown area (Elm St., et al), which is why I chose it over the west-Merrimack River complexes in this price range (Washington Park Estates, Greenview Village, etc.). The third-floor, 980-sq-ft., two-bedroom deluxe apartment in which I reside alone has brand-new everything (vinyl flooring, carpeting, kitchen appliances, and medicine cabinet) due to the fact that the previous tenants liked to live in squalor. Outta sight, outta mind on what it looked like before I moved in, but oh well! The closet space is generous and all of the rooms are spacious. The balcony is spacious as well. The clubhouse, pools, and other amenities are pretty good, but nothing spectacular. I'm looking forward to using the pools in the summer, though! I moved to CV in February 2007, so I haven't seen the grounds at their most impressive yet. I love the f more
