Community rules we want you to know before applying:

As a courtesy to your neighbors, there is no smoking allowed anywhere on the property – not in the apartment homes, on the grounds, on the decks or in the cars.  Residents should make sure their guests know this policy. 

To maintain availability of parking for residents and their guests, there is a maximum of two cars allowed per condominium. For three bedroom apartments with three licensed drivers, three vehicles will be allowed with prior written permission.

To avoid smoke going in first floor apartment windows or damage grounds, no back in parking is allowed (except for loading/ unloading).

For the safety of all, no propane tanks, gas tanks or BBQ’s are allowed on the property.  We do have a community BBQ area for you to enjoy.

Maximum number of occupants is 5 in a 2 bedroom apartment and 7 in a 3 bedroom apartment.

No pets without written permission.  Maximum of two pets per apartment.

For the enjoyment of your neighbors, pet owners should know that Colina Square is VERY strict with the pet rules.  Pets are NOT permitted to use any part of the grounds to go to the bathroom.  Pets must be taken on a leash OFF the property to go both pee and poop.  We have this policy in place so that our lawns aren’t ruined by pet urine, so that people don’t accidentally forget to pick up dog poop and so that first floor apartments don’t have to look out the window to see a dog going to the bathroom. Thank you for understanding.

Pet owners should also know that your pet should not be heard outside your apartment.
