First Colony Flats

"Everything is fabulous. Obviously the train can be problematic, but my boyfriend and I are such deep sleepers that it's never woken us up. I live in the town house style apartment, and the walls are very thick, so the train is muffled. Usually the building manager is excellent at replying to emails (though my most recent one has taken a while). The price is excellent once you consider that all utilities are included (including one parking pass, plus no monthly pet fee). I'm very impressed."

"The building is built terribly, and has cracks in the floors and floorboards. i constantly deal with bugs crawling from the cracks and under neath the front door because its not placed properly. my drainage is TERRIBLE and the sink and tubs clog regularly. i pay far too much in rent to deal with these issues and i wish i would've been advised before i signed a 13 month lease.i also had my car towed although i registered it with the leasing office because the tag fell out of my windshield and had to pay $150 to get it back. I asked Keith, the office manager, if i would be refunded and was advised i wouldn't."

"Have moved out and still can't get away from incompetent management. My lease ended March 31st and I was charged April rent and subsequent late fee. Forwarded them a copy if my lease showing them the end date because apparently they can't keep track of it themselves. I have yet to hear back about any sort of walk through, so I'm assuming that has not been completed either. Just the cherry on top of a sub par leasing experience. Train is loud and shakes the building, tenants do not pick up after their dogs and often let them outside without a leash, you can hear conversations of tennants next door, car lock was damaged due to an attempted break in. Easily the worst rental experience I have ever had. Living in ghent is amazing but look elsewhere for an apartment."

"Fun and cool place on the edge of a great neighborhood. Appliances are nice enough and rent is reasonable considering location and what you get. Train noise could be an issue for light sleepers but other than that I'm enjoying my flat. I've met a lot of cool people and dogs here!"

"I would steer very clear from this complex as well as any buildings associated with Legend Property Group in this area. The property management is very disorganized. There are lots of issues with the building and appliances. The building was obviously remodeled cheap and quickly."
