Colonie dumpster planning notes
What Colonie's housing and weather mean for your rental, from published Census and NOAA data.
A lot of pre-1980 housing
64% of homes in Colonie were built before 1980. Remodels and cleanouts in older homes often turn up plaster, lath, cast-iron fixtures and layers of old flooring. Those are heavy, so mention them when you call: they count against the weight allowance.
