Monte Vista Apartment Homes - La Verne, California

Jonathan U.

We really have enjoyed our stay here so far (8 months).
This is a very safe and quiet community that feels home-y.
The grounds are lined with tall green trees and grass. Two pools, laundry on site if you need.

We have a renovated apartment and the layout is very comfortable. We've gotten compliments each time company is over.

For easy reading, here are some items for why I would and would not recommend this place.

Why I would:
- Very quite community
- Definitely feel safe here
- Apartment layout is cozy and homey
- Staff is friendly
- Staff seems very chill, no extreme rules here that burden residents.
- Haven't had any major maintenance issues, maintenance fixed minor things quickly.
- Parking has never been an issue
- Close to everything you need in La Verne

Why I would Not:
- Is a bit on the pricier side
- Utilities are expensive especially for sewer/trash but I think that's a city issue.
- Utilities are consistently about $120 a month for two working adults including electricity.
- Not the most energy-efficient apartment, no double pane windows so AC runs more often.

Overall I've had a positive experience here and would recommend it.

I've lived at Monte vista apartments in the past, even when it was called Los arbolitos apts and I recently have come back "home" I should say, and the customer service BY FAR HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING!! Starting with Alison (amazing) Cassandra (amazing). Daniel the Property Manager has been so Supportive and understanding and most of all accommodating!! Down to the Coolest maintenance man I've ever met Nick (amazing). This Team that MG properties has put together here is nothing short but of Amazing!! I cannot thank you enough team and MG Properties. I will recommend and refer anyone including my own friends and family to come stay here if your looking for a Clean, Supportive and safe apartment homes. Thank you once again to the Monte Vista Team!!

The only reason I could see this place getting a bad review is if the one leaving the bad review is the one who’s causing the problems. This is a beautiful apartment complex to live. What others have complained about with management is actually what I respect the most about the management here: no nonsense for the people who act like they are the only ones who live here. I commend the great work of management here, who probably have a difficult enough job dealing with some people.

I may be lucky, but my specific building is as quiet is it comes. I’ve NEVER had noise issues. My neighbors are all respectful and maintain the peace, so I guess it depends on which apartment you get.
And when it comes to cockroaches, I have seen them during the warm months, never been an issue for me as I’ve only seen them in the parking lot, but I think it’s also important to add that I’ve never been to an apartment complex that hasn’t had roaches. Like, ever. It seems pretty mild here for some horror stories I’ve heard.

As far as maintenance goes, once again, everyone who lives here is probably extremely lucky to have such a good maintenance team. I usually experience Nick who I’m convinced doesn’t have a negative bone in his body and is as professional as they come. We have had to call for a few things and hardly has it ever taken more than a day or two to take care of.

I think if you take good care of your apartment and understand that you need to respect the community by not running around as if you’re the only people that live here, then you’ll love Monte vista. You can’t beat the location, everything feels luxurious at affordable pricing, and the team is fantastic here.

I recently toured Monte Vista Apartments and was looking for a new home for me and my family . The leasing office staff and Community Manager Danielle were very informative and knowledgeable. My family and I were impressed of how well kept the community and apartments were. We definitely will be considering renting here.

We just “toured” and it was the oddest experience. The front office staff were nice but the lady who helped us was so loud. We also were sent to tour by ourselves which we feel is not great customer service because we couldn’t ask questions as we walked. It really set the tone for the rest of our experience. We honestly felt like it was a waste of time and really had no desire to even entertain the idea of living there. The apartments weren’t awful and had great amenities, but it just didn’t feel like home for us. We also might have some really high standards, but I would say it is not hard to try and win the customer from the start. I might have considered if I wasn’t already put off from the start.

Monte vista is such a great location! Cassandra at the front desk was so kind, informative and made the process of moving in so easy. The space has been a joy to live in, with clean areas and plenty of storage spaces. Thanks again to Cassandra and the Monte vista crew for the hospitality so far!

Everyone from the folks at the front office to the maintenence team are extremely helpful and friendly at this complex. Cassandra always helps us with our inquiries quickly and is very knowledgeable about the tenants. Nick and Alex are courteous and professional and recently assisted us with a plumbing issue in our apartment. They kept their work area clean and wrapped up their work as quickly as possible.

I love these apartment homes and I would definitely recommend to others looking for a more affordable place to stay! Cassandra is the most understanding and supportive leasing agent I have ever worked with. She was very diligent, humorous, and patient during the entire leasing/application process! Best agent I have ever encountered through my experiences with applying to many different places. Terry is also great and very professional. Never had an issue with either of these two.

Apartment living is not perfect. Each complex will have its issues with maintenance, neighbors, etc. But personally, I do enjoy living here. The walls are decently thick, so noise issues with neighbors or housemates are very rare in my experience. Overall, the community is friendly and it feels very home-y. Everytime I walk my dog, neighbors will happily greet me and then go on about their day. The atmosphere is great!

I would note that these apartments hold many younger adults probably between the ages of 20-30 (at least from what I've noticed), which is cool because I feel more apart of the community being a young adult myself.

Overall, I love the staff and community here. I find that the people are a lot less intimidating than places I've lived previously. Community amenities are nice and well kept!
