I lived at Colt for about 4 years and it was great! Studio apartments, looking back were smaller but perfect if you work downtown or are single and don't need much space. Other layouts like the loft or 2 bedrooms are super cool with the modern and industrial vibe, most with great views of Dillon Stadium or downtown buildings. Huge perks include the Thomas Hooker Taproom downstairs on the ground level, which has full service food, snacks, and can even do catering. I miss getting my weekly breakfast burrito on Fridays! Colt is also pet friendly with a monthly pet fee and deposit, many tenants have cats or dogs. Property management is amazing also, and always so friendly! They treated tenants to a variety of events throughout the year including holiday parties, and hosted the annual open studio art shows right in the building. Some say it may be pricey, yes but you pay for the experience and the amenities that come with it, without the chaos of living right downtown and having more privacy in charter oak. read more
