The Village At Colbert Park

The Village at Colbert Park is under newer management, and all I can say is that Jennifer and her team are wonderful! In the midst of a busy season of move in/move out, they were responsive about fixing any broken items in the apartment and very professional in handling the multiple steps of paperwork.

I moved cross-country, and when I arrived with nothing but a suitcase, Jennifer had made sure I had basic toiletries and a shower lining so that I could at least bunker down for the first night. Talk about thoughtful!!

All the apartments had their mattresses replaced, new doors installed, and

Personally I think this place is great!!
Jennifer and her staff team are very friendly and caring. They even help sort through tons of shipment boxes, keeping track of them and sending emails for pick up reminders. #amazing

Do not rent here without asking to see your actual unit you'll be living in. The place we were given was not even close to the condition of the unit we got. After I told the office about all the issues they still haven't gotten anyone here to fix anything. The paints atrocious the cabinets are worn. I absolutely would never suggest this place to anyone for what they charge, the parking lot is a disaster there's pot holes everywhere. The expectations they set did not match what they gave us. I am beyond disappointed and will be adamantly making sure as many reviews are completed to

I've lived here for a couple of months . Everyone at the office is so kind! As long as you communicate your issues they do a great job fixing everything. The park is to die for! I'm defiantly living here for my four years of vet school.

Horrible service, even through the pandemic they can't work with you.

I will never, refer a friend or even an enemy to stay at this establishment.

Just horribly, horrific.

Do Not Live Here!!!! When I first moved in everything in the apartment was dirty. The walls are very thin, it look old , the dresser and table was very dirty, the parking lot is dangerous with a lot of pot holes, there was no heat in my room the maintenance gave me a heater and it broke a week after I got it. They charge you after your lease is up on things they did to the apartment. Worst living experience EVER!!!

I had several issues with the Village the past few years, mainly with the disorganization and incompetence of the management staff and maintenance. However, following my feedback, the new management has reached out to me personally via phone call and apologized. Jennifer was very kind and addressed each of these issues and expressed her concerns and was extremely apologetic, which I really appreciate coming off some terrible experiences with old management, from whom we never received any calls from even after expressing our concerns. Although I think there are several maintenance issues with the

My son moved into Building 9 last August 2019. He has black mold on his walls. This mold is only washed or painted over by the maintenance . We have asked for a professional mold test to check the air and this has not been Done or forwarded to us. Also the windows are poorly insulated which drives up the electric bill. Utilities are suppose to be included. But if you go over the reasonable rAte they require , your stuck with the overage.

Oh so many complaints.

1. Parking. They keep threatening to tow people but never do. This becomes a problem when you can't park anywhere near your own unit because several people who don't live there are staying for several nights and management doesn't actually care.

2. Trains. The Village is right next to a train track so trains pass by constantly (several times an hour through much of the day) and walls are so thin you can hear them perfectly loudly.

3. Walls. Walls are extremely thin as noted above. Wasn't a huge problem with noise except for the constant trains, but

DO NOT LIVE HERE! The apartments are alright but walls are thin. The management is absolutely horrendous!!! It makes the entire experience just terrible!! There are plenty of other places that one can live in Savoy, DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!!

I have lived here for about 4-5 years now. Overall its a really nice place to live. It's quiet (minus the train) and the staff is friendly. If I've had an issue, it was addressed in a timely manner.

No place is going to be perfect but this place comes pretty close. I have lived at several other apartment complexes and toured even more and hands down I think the Village is the one to compete with.

Excellent housing for graduate students! The spacious 4 bed/4.5 baths are the greatest deal. Coupled with the greatest shuttle service privately offered in the CU area!

Additionally, the facilities staff are extremely helpful and will usually start work on problems within 24 hours!

I have lived at the Village for 3 years. The experience overall has been positive with a few exceptions and management has improved since my first year living here.

Pros: lots of space and storage, very pet friendly, next to Colbert Park and a quite neighborhood (good for walks and running), shuttle to campus and occasionally downtown Champaign, maintenance staff and shuttle drivers are friendly

Cons: Response to maintenance requests could be better, I have had to refute renters insurance charges several times, cardio machines are broken very often and take a long time to get fixed.

I was in a different position than most students. I only needed an apartment for 1 semester, I own a dog, and I value a quiet environment more than a social one. For my needs, the Village was perfect. My roommates are law students and are very quiet. I don't think you can beat the price of these units for what you get. There are some very nice neighborhoods nearby where I like to walk my dog. Overall, I'm glad I chose this place.

I know people have complained about the staff, but my experience has been pleasant. However, I've only spoken with them a few times so my experience

DO NOT RENT AN APARTMENT HERE. Law students who really want litigation experience may want to consider it because this place screams "sue me" on a regular basis.

1. LIES, DAMN LIES - The employees will lie to you, without a doubt. I have lost count of the number of times I have been lied to while living here. We were lied to about the ability to get satellite TV installed, about the state of our apartment on moving in, about regularity of the bus (forget it when school is not in session), the safety of the place, and about so much more.

2. FEES WITHOUT SERVICES - The Village has

The Village sucks. It's really the only way to describe it. When you go to sign your lease you're given a little spiel by the only staff member capable of speaking in coherent sentences.

He tells you how there's cable and internet included. He doesn't say that the cable is the equivalent of a 56k dial-up. On some weeknights you can't use youtube. It's far too slow. Oh ya forget about Netflix or online video games.

He doesn't tell you that the cable is basic non-HD cable that looks terrible on most flat screen tvs. No DVR no on-demand just bottom barrel
