Lived here for two years (2015-2017). Apartment was broken into and we had our 60 inch tv, macbook laptop and PS4 stolen. Thankfully they didn't take our dog. During this time there were a lot of other break-ins taking place. Management had installed a security system but that was ineffective. They also seemed to care very little that this was happening. For example, there's one road to get in/out of the complex. All you have to do is install a camera at the entrance to record cars/license plates and boom, problem solved. The rent is cheap which is nice, but there are sketchy areas very close. If you're going to live here, I recommend getting a security camera or something of the sort.

I really liked this place when it was under Borror property (there were a few issues, not a lot). The new management is rude, and doesn't seen to care about the complex, there was a trash bag full of tissue in the parking lot, it had been laying there at least four hours, when I called the office they stated that someone was on their way to clean it up, that was at the two hour mark. I feel like the complex has gone down in a matter of a month. The old maintenance folks are gone, there are shady people in the office, one seen to be on drugs.

Robin in the office is extremely rude and unprofessional. We just went in to speak about an issue we had and she was screaming...

Robin in the office is extremely rude and unprofessional. We just went in to speak about an issue we had and she was screaming at us for no reason. We had to leave because there was no talking calmly to her. She stood up and screamed in our face. I couldn't believe her level of unprofessionalism, it was embarrassing. She seems mentally unstable and should be evaluated.

Did the whole "quiet hours" addendum get thrown out of the leasing contract for new residents? It's almost 12:00 a.m. on a Saturday night and my upstairs neighbors sound like they adopted a heard of elephants and gave them speed for dinner. Earlier this week they were apparently having a rock concert until 1:00 a.m. every night of the week... I can't even get Bexley Police to come deal with it since this is a "private property." I have to be up at 6 a.m. to go to work and I have already banged on their door to try to get them to quiet down, but they ignored me. I am half tempted to call the "emergency maintenance line" and demand they send a property manager out to deal with them. This is absurd. I am NOT happy about this and this isn't the first time I've had to deal with obsessively loud neighbors who don't seem to have to follow College Park rules... On another note, apparently there's no such thing as parking etiquette in this place either. Nobody seems to know how to park within the lines which makes it extremely frustrating when you come home after a long day of work to find all the parking spots filled by cars of people that don't even live here, but then people who do live here seem to take up two or three parking spaces. Another example of how poorly this apartment complex is run is by the fact that earlier this summer they were supposedly going to pave the entire parking lot and roads into this complex, but in the process they only put black top on top of that which is not paving the roads. There are still many potholes and cracks in the road which have done a number on my brand new tires. And don't even get me started on the paint job that they were supposed to have completed a few months ago. The gentlemen who came to clean the balconies and porches left everything a mess with little to no disregard about the types of messes they were leaving behind and the fact that the residents had to clean up after their sloppiness. The paint job isn't even that great and it looks like they half assed it just to appease management. I have many more concerns about this place but I think anyone who reads this will get the idea of how poorly this place is being taken care of...

Are you trying to rent this place? Oh no, please don't because you will think you are paying so much for something better but it's the worst place to live for the price they charge. Manager unreasonable, place unsafe, unnecessary extra charges for things they need to take care of. And when you move out, they make sure they find something stupid to charge your account. I will never recommend this place to anyone, please use your $ to rent somewhere better!

So, it is weird to read the reviews on here. My husband and I lived there for 2 years. We had to move because we had a baby, not because we didn't like it. There was a review about cars: we have two cars, we parked right outside our apartment building. I never heard anything about forced entry into apartments. Nor did the staff every enter without a 24 hour notice. I did hear there were a few car break-ins, but that can happen anywhere when you park in a lot. Columbus police patrolled the complex every other day, so I never felt like there was a safety issue. There were no pests in our apartment, and we were never charged for pest control. We had no problem with the office staff. The maintenance guy is a little rough around the edges, but I think he may get hassled from tenants. He came to fix our a/c once and fixed the door as well just because he noticed it was loose. I do wish the tenants kept their children in check. We had young children running through the back of the apartment building past like 10pm in the dark. That must be the mom in me, but it didn't seem safe. There is a rule that dogs must be leashed when outside, and you must pick up after them. I know on multiple occasions I reported a neighbor because her dog ran around like crazy off a leash. I don't know how you enforce this rule, but this seemed to be my only issue. I do wish I saw them enforce the parking rules. Visitors parked in tenant parking all the time. It wasn't that big a deal, but some nights you'd have to park further way. The complex really isn't that bad. The insides are nice and they were in the process of giving the outside a facelift as well. AND, our rent never went up while we lived there. I know some places jack up your rent after a year.

My friend lived there and was an aweful experience. Under new management which is horrid. They have pests, management come and go freely into your home without notice, they charge for pest control which is their responsibility, maintenance is incompetent and just a terrible experience all around.

To clarify some of the below reviews, please read the following: College Park Apartments are no longer managed by McKinley and have since switched to Borror which has improved practices, policies, increased approval criteria and a stellar maintenance staff. All units already come fully equipped with an alarm system, which was just replaced in May 2016. Parking policy is 2 cars per apartment, and we do strictly enforce parking policy. Please stop by to tour and check us out for yourself!

This apartment complex is dangerous, there have been a lot of forced entries. I lived there for a year now and we were recently robbed, the apartment complex did nothing to improve security since. And our neighbor was robbed when we first lived there, all they did was change the door, what they need to do is watch. we all have jobs we cant be at work thinking our apartment will be whipped out. I am completely disappointed.

Crawford & Hoying owned these apartments and was sold/bought by McKinley. McKinley is thee absolute worst. These apartments are no longer the desired place...

Crawford & Hoying owned these apartments and was sold/bought by McKinley. McKinley is thee absolute worst. These apartments are no longer the desired place to live. They let anyone move in, they do NOT keep the ground clean, they do NOT complete maintenance request in a timely manner, they DO NOT cut the grass, they let the trash compactor fill to capacity and overflow. These are no longer luxury apartments! All of the respectable tenants are looking for a way out! Don't move here!!
