In August, my husband and I will have lived at Colony Woods for 5 years. While there are many great living options in Birmingham, there are a few reasons...

Nice community. Very spacious apartments. Wonderful, serene place to live.

Moved in 1 month ago. So far, so good. The community feels safe, most importantly, and the apartment itself seems to be decent quality. My favorite features are the bay window and eggshell color paint that make the place lighter. I haven't had any problem with bugs. The manager is very nice and approachable. My only complaints would be that the speed bumps outside are a bit over kill, and I'm pretty sure they didn't steam clean the carpet before I moved in. Having past experience with apartment living, the first thing I did was rent a rug doctor. To the management, I would suggest making steam cleaning a routine during pre-move in cleaning. It gets rid of any smoke smells left by previous tenants and it shows that effort was put in to preparing the apartment for the new tenant.
