What They Don’t Tell You Before You Move In
May 27, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Montanosa used to be a prime apartment complex, but it’s nothing like it used to be. Over the years, the property has steadily gone downhill. I’ve personally dealt with rats, roaches, and water bugs, and it’s obvious the property isn’t being cared for the way it once was.
The appearance and upkeep have declined significantly. Garage doors are patched together, many don’t even match, and the overall complex is starting to look run down.
What’s frustrating is that management seems more focused on ...
policing residents than improving the property itself. You can’t even personalize your patio anymore without getting constant emails or text messages. Hanging a hummingbird feeder or a simple wind chime somehow becomes an issue because of “patio police” complaints.
Honestly, one of the only consistently good things about living here was the maintenance team, and now most of them are leaving too.
Meanwhile, rent keeps going up around 10% every year, leaving long-term tenants with two choices: move or pay it. To make matters worse, new tenants are often paying significantly less than residents who have lived here for years and always paid their rent on time.
It’s disappointing to watch a place that used to feel well-managed and welcoming turn into something completely different.

Hi David, we are disappointed to hear about these concerns.
Rental rates, pricing is determined by a variety of market factors and can vary based on lease terms, availability, and timing. We understand that long-term residents may feel frustrated when comparing their rates to current promotional offers, and we appreciate the loyalty of those who have chosen to make our community their home for many years.
We are especially grateful for our maintenance team and the hard work they do every day to serve our residents. Their contributions are valued and recognized.
