Overall: I recommend this place as it met our needs. It is very safe and secure living environment…read morebut I provide it with strong caveats. Ask questions. This place is not for everyone. Dan and Gail were terrific, Liz was very sweet. But be warned of the family business owned idiosyncrasies/and lack of clarity on the rental agreement. Positives - Our 2 bedroom / 1 bath was $860. - "Meow's" with deposit but no "ruffs" allowed at all. - Convenient location with easy access from 88 and Orchard Road. - Price is relative; could not find less expensive without driving all the way west to Dekalb. - Parking never an issue/ample parking available and there was even garages. - Double access doors and felt safe. - Convenient shared trash chute in the common area, especially great in the winter. - This is a mature living environment (mostly) and quiet quiet quiet. Never had party issues. - Coin Laundry in all complexes. About $2 per wash and dry - Staff were Highly responsive on both our move in and move out requirements. Negatives: - #1 Negative: (All respect to readers who smoke) but if you do not smoke, you are living in the same building as renters who do, and in facilities with zero active re-circulated ventilation in the common areas. Recommend smoking only buildings or adding positive ventilation to common areas. - #2 Negative: Do not depend on the "advertised summer pool" operation schedule and/or the key provided for such. The complex, confusingly, has the pool managed?? or monitored?? by other designated residents?? who are assigned at the pool to monitor us "non chosen other" renters as we enter the pool. The monitors often did not show up we (no reason ever provided). When the monitors did not show up, we could not enter the pool as the pool was locked with a second key not provided to us "non monitor renters". Colony West advertises itself as a mature living experience. We did not feel treated as such in this instance. There likely is a significant issue of "other local apartment complex residents entering the pool when they should not". But the owners should hire security guards or institute some other process that ensures that all paying residents are still allowed entry into the pool during normal posted hours of operation. - OUTDATED living with all CAPS intentional. Not even 1980's.. more like 70's. Rental price not representative of what you get for your money and instead representative of what is required to be paid in order to live anywhere close to Chicago. I respect location aspect and business acumen of the owners to charge what can be supported in the market, but we should have paid at least $100 less a month; or complex owners update these units. - This leads to the last hard spot with Colony West. Due to dated facilities; the maintenance personnel were very nice and very helpful, however, the maintenance requirements of this complex are shared with multiple other Apartment complexes that Family owners also have spread across Aurora. Therefore, complex is not responsive in maintenance as the few maintenance personnel on staff are spread far too thin. Again, in a strong recurring theme, if owners do not want to update the complex, then the owners should hire enough qualified maintenance personnel to support all their outdated complex maintenance issue prone properties. - The Aurora FF Station is less than a mile away. When they test their alarms or run out, you know it at any time of day. - Water bill is shared with all the other residents.

Worst propane company ever. I fell behind on my bill due to my husband loosing his job. I tried to…read morepay as much as I could with what I had. Before I ran of money to give. Then we started receiving income again. So I was playing catch up on all my bills and rent. Got my propane bill down to almost nothing. They still refused to fill my tank until I paid the rest of my bill. Mind you I'm almost empty in my propane tank and it's winter. Also no employees had the decency to tell me that they wouldn't fill my tank, just told me that their manager would call me. ( Which no manager called. So I called again to see what's going on and the lady that answered when I asked to speak to a manager. She said"What manager?"

Evelyn Santiago was more than phenomenal in the work she did for me when I was looking to purchase…read moremy first home. Evelyn paid close attention to what I said I was looking for in a home. She asked the critical questions and knew more about what I would want than I did. She took it one step further to show me homes I never imagined would fit my criteria--but did AND had the "wow" factor I didn't know would be possible at my price point. Evelyn was never high pressure during the process but she gave me insightful advice that was instrumental in making me feel at ease about my decision. I was the typical first-time homebuyer in that I had an idea in my head about the value of the home I was purchasing and even got cold feet at one point. It didn't phase Evelyn; she didn't panic and try to rush me into committing. She simply pointed out the facts about the purchase and let me make the decision. I ultimately decided to purchase and Evelyn didn't stop working once the contract was signed. She was an engaged member of my team during the mortgage approval process all the way up to close. Evelyn amazed me in how easy she made the home buying process. She was so precise in narrowing down the homes to show me. We actually only viewed about 8 homes in 1 day and I ended up purchasing the first home I was shown. Despite only viewing 8 homes and the search only lasting 1 day, what I was shown encompassed what was available on the market. While I was in the process of closing, I still looked online out of curiosity and never saw a home I liked better or that I felt was a better value than what I purchased. Two months in my home and I definitely do not have buyer's remorse. The last thing I want to say about Evelyn is how personable she is! She tailored my homebuying experience to meet my needs--I don't have family close by and while I would have normally included my mother in the process it simply wasn't possible. Evelyn was so accessible and so hands on during the process that I felt as though I could ask her the questions I would have asked my mother. Evelyn made me feel like I was her only client and made up for the fact that I couldn't include my mother in the process. While looking at homes I felt like my mother was right there with me because Evelyn was just as candid as my mother would have been. When the time comes for me to purchase my next home, as long as it is in the Chicagoland area, Evelyn will be the first person I call.

I LOVE my new house!!!! Thank you so much Chad! I had looked at quite a few houses but none really…read morefelt right. I did make an offer on one but when we found out there was a leak in one of the walls we pulled the offer back. I was starting to feel like I was wasting Chad's time. I am a single person and make a decent living but this is Chicago land. Very difficult to find a home in an affordable price range on a one income household that is livable and not complete garbage. I told him, "maybe I am just being picky". He told me, "Jamie...when you find YOUR house you will KNOW! You will have complete peace and no hesitation. Trust me. I will find it for you!" About two days later he sent me a text at 8am of a house that literally just hit the MLS. We had an appointment set within 10 minutes for the next day. He was right! When I walked in...I knew. I was HOME! I wanted to make an offer but there were multiple showings scheduled for the next day. Chad told me to make an offer contingent on them accepting the same night and not seeing anyone else. They accepted. Over the next 30 days there was little I had to do because Chad was awesome at coordinating between my broker and the attorney. He was always there to answer my multiple questions. Truly a pleasure to have as my realtor.

He was very thorough, responsive, experienced, reliable, professional, and very passionate at what he does. He went above and beyond what you would normally expect from a realtor. We were very well-informed of the process and has helped bridge some gaps and challenges we had by keeping us in check with our paperwork. Our closing took longer than expected, but Greg waited for us (I know that's not required), but he made sure that everything was taken care of and the house was set. He even helped us with various things we couldn't figure out inside the house like resetting the garage door code and even gave us a folder with great information and contact number. I could go on and on of his great service. We couldn't have been any happier. I highly recommend Greg i whether you're looking to sell or buy a home.

Lived here for a year. It is a very calm and quite neighborhood, 10 minutes north of Aurora…read moreUniversity and about 5 mins off of I-88. They have an older property but have done a good job at maintaining their grounds. They have probably one of the nicest swimming pools I have seen at an apartment complex, however I never used it. Their rates are a little high in my opinion, and would have never moved if I didn't get a new job an hour north of there. The long drive and tolls were gauging me! Dorris the manager is a sweetheart and was always helpful, so were the maintenance team members. Kathy was always very nice to me too... I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a really quiet community. The downfall is that I drive a motorcycle and shared a spot with my car (which is logical so I free up more parking spots) but certain old, cranky, and miserable neighbors with nothing better to do were upset because I always parked in a spot where I could see from my balcony. Without having a garage to park in, I didn't like my brand new Harley Davidson out of my viewpoint. Also do NOT park in the fire lane, NOT EVEN FOR 10 MINS. N.A.P.D., are douchebags with nothing better to do than to ticket your car while you are unloading groceries. I received 2 tickets while living there when my car had the hazards on and the trunk open....smh. Then when my car had gotten plowed into in the parking lot by a fellow tenant who didn't see me that ripped my whole bumper off, N.A's finest refused to come out and fill out a police report because it was "private property!!!!!" Double standards, but nothing against CVW... Just saying, "watch out!"
