We love montecito! The apartments are laid out very well, even though they are not very big square footage wise, it feels roomier than my previous apartment that was 150 square feet larger! The price is super reasonable for the area. Errands are all easy because everything is close! The grounds are fantastic, I can get a quick walk with my dog in just by roaming the grounds, and there are convenient doggy waste bins around the property, and a dog park! The staff are all wonderful, and although we rarely have maintenance issues, when we do they are handled very promptly! Great place to live!

I lived in Montecito Apartments for a year and only had to moved because of work. My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this apartment. The price is reasonably affordable and lower than the other places. The staffs in the office are great. Janet rocks. She is very professional and caring. The maintenance staffs were awesome! The maintenance requests were completed promptly. We had a couple of emergency maintenance issues and Gerald would come at any time to help us. We owe him a big time. Thank you, Janet and Gerald!! Honestly, I feel it is a great place to live. Very convenient as we had many stores within walking distance. My wife and I loved the apartment!!

Why we ain't had no trash pick up in almost 2 weeks? Trash all on the ground is not good, all because it will create rodents... Don't no one wants to see rats and snakes... Please handle this matter quickly...

Montecito was a nice place to live overall. The maintenance crew was great and most of the office staff is very friendly and helpful. They respond to concerns and work orders promptly. However, the low review is due to the new property manager who can be very rude and unprofessional when handling business matters. After the way she handled a major issue I had once I moved out, I was thankful that I chose not to renew my lease!

I am sad to see that Montecito Apartments has a low rating. Maybe more people, like myself... who enjoy living here, need to take time to give a good review. So here is mine. Whenever I have visitors, they always compliment how well the landscaping is and how clean and quiet it always is around here. I had a leaky faucet a few months back and the Montecito maintenance men replaced the whole faucet system. My toilet got all scratched up my first year here, and Montecito replaced it. Recently, they painted the outside exteriors of every building, and installed new light fixtures and signage. The doors were painted black, and it really looks nice. I also love the new awnings over the mailboxes. They even care enough to leave trash cans by the mailboxes so residents can discard junk mail. Janet in the main office.. ROCKS. She is so organized and professional, she sets the tone for the other office workers. I feel she deserves a lot of recognition for what she does around here. The maintenance guys ROCK also. They respond quickly and complete maintenance request really fast (in and out). This place, I feel is better for single adults and couples. Not so much for children, but perfect for adults because the units aren't really family sized. It's just big enough for one or two adults to fit comfortably. The 3 bed rooms might offer more space though. The apartments are close to bunch of stores... 5 minutes away from a lot of major retail stores, restaurants and grocery store chains. Aldi's down the block, just received a major make-over and it looks really good and clean in there. So just giving a much needed good HONEST review.

unfriendly, unprofessional mgr and asst mgr. very sturn & rough with residents. I have always paid rent on time. so i dont know why they are like that. lack of resident relations. never apologized for problem they created for me when water heater burst. they left fan running 4 days straight and i asked if they were gonna compensate for that. bonnie says rudely bring in previous bill and compare to this one and ill see if increased,if any. the maintenance & repair ppl didnt come when they said they would monday at 10am. he showed up after 4pm. no call of change or anything. repair worker same thing said monday and he showed up on tuesday midday while i was busy handling things in my apt.but yet they are rude and ugly to me expecting me to move my schedule around what i had to do at my apt. bonnie left a nasty msg saying we own the carpet!!! lol attacking me saying i wouldnt let them in. still rude. i noticed their attitudes when i was applying. made mgr aware but now i see thats who they are. beware!!!! again no apologizies , no im sorry.. just rude treatment and attitudes every time ive dealt with them and i try not to go to office just to avoid them bc there were bugs in my apt and i got bites. for a mth and didnt report. bonnie again very rudely shouted "and they will be there tomorrow too" and cut me off while i was talking (this is not the first time they did that. they have lead in the paint on walls and when i asked about it they gave me a hard time bc i wanted my kid to be safe.save urself headache and give other communities a shot that treat residents better. Update: ( short version) 6/2017 since I had so many issues with MGR on sight I went to upper mgmt Tracey he said you can move out but it had to be on my expense and he never called me back . So I went to Randy next level mgmt of drucker and Falk who manages the property. the bugs still have not stopped, they keep spraying and the bugs keep coming. Randy says theirs nothing else they can do about the bugs. And expects me to have to use money out of pocket for their mistakes,I sent him a message Asking how would he feel if his mother, wife,kids were treated that way and never returned my email . I said see you in court. Just want to show ppl what ur dealing with here and under drucker and Falk mgmt.

Since the major storm and due to lack of salt on the drive way,myself and others resident has been stranded on black ice not able to even walk across the garbage can. It has been already 3 days now and nothing has been done and it's very unresponsive and shameful act of Montecito Apartments. I saw couples of people fall sliding in the black ice and almost slamming into others tenant's car including myself. Please take it seriously and clean the driveway ASAP before someone gets hurts.

Overall, very good apartments. The staff are friendly and respond quickly to maintenance problems. The units are clean and large for 1- and 2-bedrooms. Despite being close to lots of shopping areas, the apartments are quiet. The Crabtree Creek greenway is just down the hill. I have always felt safe there. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the complex is located on a very busy road and pulling out can be pretty dangerous certain times of day. This is not a huge problem, though, considering everything else.
