So, here's the thing: I love living at Colonial Grand at Old Town Scottsdale. I can only speak for the north complex, but the two years I've spent here have been wonderful.
- The location beats all. Whether you love to run or walk through downtown (I do) or crave easy access to its bars and clubs via golf cart, this is the spot.
- At first, parking frustrated me, with often the lot filling up by 7 p.m. You get one covered spot and then uncovered parking is first come, first serve. But there is street parking that's very easy to get to. Now I like having that option.
- The maintenance staff is great and requesting service online is quick for me. One guy even replaced a broken curtain panel that I forgot to add in the request. It was really appreciated. The landscape folks also do a great job. The place is kept up well.
- The office staff always answers my emails promptly and my face-to-face interactions have been positive and friendly. Actually, I can't think of another place I've lived where they are this friendly.
- For the area, the price is on the lower side.
- I've never felt unsafe here.
- The workout room/gym is better equipped than most apartment gyms. I use it OFTEN.
