The honest read

Staff turnover and inconsistent management undermine an otherwise affordable option. Several long-term residents and one recent applicant praise named staff members like Vee, Gwen, Ashley, and Sherri for personal attention and quick approval processes. However, the overwhelming majority of recent reviews report persistent pest infestations (roaches and rats), maintenance requests ignored for months, water outages lasting days, and mold issues that management paints over rather than fixes. One former resident reported stolen property and above-market rent without management support.

Tenants willing to overlook structural repairs and pest control delays value the low rent relative to unit size and the willingness to work with poor credit. The business accepts residents seeking second chances, and some find the community pleasant when management is stable. However, multiple reviews from social workers and long-term residents warn that pest problems, water infrastructure failures, and accountability gaps make the complex unsuitable unless genuinely desperate.

Recent shift: Possible improvement underway: one recent review (4 months ago) notes the complex has 'seen quite a few apartment managers come and go' but is 'really happy with the one we have now.' Another 5-star review from a year ago praised new paint, appliances, and carpeting, suggesting management may have initiated upgrades; however, concurrent reviews report ongoing pest infestation and water failures, making the shift unclear.

Reviews by category

Affordable & Section 8 Housing
Accepts residents with poor credit and criminal history, but pest, mold, and water infrastructure issues undermine the value.

No clear evidence from reviews; one mention of a personal disabled goat visiting management office.

Units have attached garages, patios, and new appliances when inspected, but structural and pest issues plague long-term residents.

Montelena's leasing and office staff earn consistent praise for professionalism and responsiveness, with apartment locators actively referring clients and residents noting smooth move-ins. Units are spacious and quiet, with good amenities and location. However, serious problems emerge: one long-term resident reported mold in their unit, inadequate repairs, unauthorized home entries despite explicit requests, and a false collection agency filing to their credit two years after moving out. Other recent reviews describe a dismissive property manager refusing to address policy violations (smoking, unleashed pets, unsafe stairs) during non-business hours, and earlier touring complaints about inaccurate listings and rude leasing conduct. Recent reviews suggest inconsistent service at the office level. While most praise centers on leasing staff like Alma and Serina, negative experiences stem from either the same or a different manager who has been described as condescending during tours and dismissive of resident concerns. The company has not publicly responded to credit reporting or maintenance claims.

Most residents report feeling safe and supported in a quiet, well-maintained community where management and office staff respond quickly to needs. Staff members including Frank, Monique, Michael, Liz, and Sheniq are named for their kindness and problem-solving, though one recent resident is waiting over six months for a deposit refund.

Staff warmth, particularly leasing agent Eric, drives strong first impressions and smooth move-ins. The facility itself is clean and well-kept, with resort-style amenities appealing to both professionals and long-term residents. Behind the scenes, maintenance lapses surface: pet waste sits uncleaned in stairwells for weeks, deep plumbing repairs stall indefinitely, and common finishing touches like living room lights are absent. These gaps matter most to residents who stay past the honeymoon phase. Pricing starts at $1255 for one-bedroom units and scales to $2320 for three-bedroom apartments. The property draws young professionals near Dell offices and appeals to pet owners. Morgan and Jenny appear equally capable on the administrative side. The tension is real: the building charms you in, but persistent cleanliness and maintenance failures expose gaps between marketing polish and daily life.
