Parc Coliseum Apartments

We have lived here for two years now, and we now have to move because the leasing office is upping our rent over 7.4% for the renewal. The average around the area for the same type of building and apartment is 2−3%. We have spoken with the management, and we even had a leasing agent tell us to look for somewhere else to live. I am not happy with the management, and the fact that a fortune 250 company like equity residential, couldn’t care less about their current tenants. We have been great tenants for two years, and would like to continue to live in these apartments, but not for the price that they are trying to rip us off for.
These apartments are TINY, and there are NO AMENITIES besides doormen (which are actually mostly great doormen). There are plenty of other apartments around the area that actually have amenities, and are the same price or less than parc coliseum. These apartments, in the end, are not worth the rent that they are charging. It is also completely unfair for them to up our rent over 7% in one year. Salaries don’t go up that much in a year.

I loved everything about living in this building — the apartment, the location and especially the staff.
If you are lucky enough to live at the Parc Coliseum, do yourself a favor and strike up a conversation with the front desk men. They are all fantastic people and make you instantly feel at home.
Five stars.

$ 75 PET RENT FOR A CAT?! These apartments are already on the more expensive side but when you add in a $ 75 cat rent ONTOP of a $ 500 non-​refundable cat deposit — it’s ridiculous. $ 1400 a year for a cat in an apartment with no carpet?! What could my cat possibly do for that much?
They don’t pay gas and water! This is the only place I have gone that DOESNT include gas and water as part of rent.
They really nickel and dime you here — for the price you can get a much nicer apartment somewhere else in the area that includes these «fees».
Really disappointed — I would have definitely rented here if it weren’t for the outrageous cat rent!
