This place is AMAZING. It has so many incredible features you would not believe it........... I lived in the "queens spot" upstairs center apt. overlooking the most incredible ocean view of my lifetime. I would have never left if it hadn't have been for my grandmother needing my immediate care and housing....... turns out I regret even buying a house now and wish I were still there. Nonetheless.... Centrally located only 2 blocks from the most amazing rec. trail, downtown, cannary row, shopping, restaurants, aquarium...... clean, great management/maintenance...always friendly and on top of everything. NO COMPLAINTS EVER. I would go back if I could get out of buying this house!!!!!! I would recommend this apt complex to my best of friends and family and my time there will be sincerely remembered as one of the best of my life. (did I mention ocean views ?!) wow! (and great neighbors)

I love BBQ'ing on my deck. Never heard a dog bark once. The landlords are extremely attentive and take care of requests ASAP, like a text.... then knock knock. Scary fast.

I was very worried about the idea of renting, especially because I'm a very particular person who likes everything to be just right. I had my doubts that anyone would be able to meet my standards - but I was wrong. From the moment I met Dixie and Francisco at 17 Mile Drive Village, I immediately started to feel at ease. They made every change I asked for to our apartment exactly the way I wanted it. Every little detail was perfect. Honestly, I found it hard to believe, but they did it--and they made me feel so comfortable and at home that all of my anxieties melted away. I really can't thank them enough for turning what I feared would be an incredibly difficult situation into one that I truly enjoy. Being a bit of a cynic, I then thought that this happiness probably wouldn't last, and that once we moved in the level of service and care might fade. Once again, I was wrong. That was almost two years ago, and to this day they continue to take incredibly good care of us and make sure all our needs are met. I truly couldn't be happier. I'm living in one of the most beautiful places in the world, in a wonderful community, with two of the kindest people you could ever hope to meet.

BEWARE !!! This place has changed names multiple times for a…read morereason. They take advantage of military people by over charging for bills and "misc" charges. I've called them after I moved out a million times to get a simple explanation of a misc charge on my move out receipt and they NEVER call me back or refunded my money. They hire a company to split the utilities between residence then charge for that service. Every tenant pays for pet clean up whether you have a pet or not... there's one working elevator 3ft x 3ft for that whole complex. If you decide to rent from them and get charge up the "you know what", don't say I didn't warn you.

They are completely dishonest. i just gave a reviewed for them, mistakenly, on Monterey Pines…read moreMOTEL. i would just advise people against going there. There will be constant noise from apartment renovations. THEY will NOT tell you before you move in that your neighbors are leaving and that they are going to be drilling, knocking down terraces, etc., right against your wall--they are in a process of demoliishing one apt. after another. Furthermore, they will always find an illegal way to keep your security and probably tack on more expense. They were supposed to change a portion of my carpet--it was in perfect condition. $200, they said, for one stain---Suddenly i have a bill for $1000 PAST my $700 security deposit and by that time i had left CA. They RUINED my credit report with their dishonesty, all because i did not take them to court as i should have at the time. Buyer, beware!!

Beware!!! I moved…read moreinto this apartment complex in August 2024 with high hopes after a promising tour. Unfortunately, that optimism was short-lived. This place has been nothing but a constant source of frustration, and I feel compelled to warn others before they make the same mistake. Let's start with the hidden fees. After paying over $100 in non-refundable application fees, we signed our lease only to discover that we'd also be paying for pest control, sewer, trash, and water--none of which were clearly disclosed upfront. These "additional charges" have averaged $250 a month on top of rent. Last month alone, we were charged $190 just for water--and there are only two people living in our unit. We are extremely conscientious about usage, and we don't even drink the water or use it for ice or coffee because we've seen brown sediment in it multiple times. I've reached out to both the property manager and leasing agent asking how the water and sewer are measured--crickets. No response, which is unfortunately all too common. It takes over a week for them to respond and address any of my concerns, if at all. Meanwhile, the grounds are infested with spiders, slugs, ants, and we had multiple COCKROACH encounters when we first moved in!!! So what are we paying for in "pest control"? That's a mystery. Perhaps the excessive amount of visible rat traps. We're even charged a $6 monthly fee just to compile the bill for these "services." Maintenance has been a disaster. When we first moved in, the thermostat was set to Celsius. Maintenance told us it couldn't be changed--Google proved otherwise. During a so-called "annual inspection," a maintenance tech left a solo cup full of master keys on our doorstep while he worked inside. Anyone walking by could've grabbed access to every unit in the complex. Completely unacceptable. A few months ago, a water main broke during a rainstorm. I called emergency maintenance--they showed up, shrugged, and said they'd "call a plumber tomorrow." Rain was pouring and flooding was imminent. I ended up calling 911 and the fire department had to come out to shut off the water and prevent further damage. Even they were shocked it hadn't already been handled. There's more. A neighbor's door lock malfunctioned. Maintenance replaced it with a used door, in the middle of winter, and didn't even bother to install weather stripping--leaving a 1-inch gap under the door for cold air and pests to flow freely. That was over a month ago, and it's still not fixed. When we moved in, the leasing office was open Monday through Saturday. Now it's only open four days a week. Security patrols that used to come by twice nightly (after a string of car break-ins) were silently discontinued about four months ago--with no notice to residents. The walls are paper thin--we hear everything our neighbors do, and when they use the stairs, it feels like they're stomping through our living room. The windows are ancient single-pane originals from what I can only guess is the 1960s. They sweat constantly, and we've discovered black mold on our clothes, pillows, and window frames. Cold drafts leak in all winter long, and the moisture issues are beyond unacceptable. We inquired with the leasing office in January if there were an option to replace the windows. The informed us that it wouldn't be possible until at least April...and here we are at the end of April with no resolution. Our lease runs until September, and we are counting down the days until we can move. I wouldn't recommend this complex to anyone. It's overpriced, poorly managed, and increasingly unsafe and unsanitary. Do yourself a favor--look elsewhere.

At the end of January, I started to discover a sand-like substance on my bed. On February 3, I…read morediscovered this was a sign of termites and notified the complex immediately. Someone had to come to confirm that it was termites, and this did not happen until February 12. On February 14, they had someone come in to address the termite issue. The solution was to inject foam into the areas of the roof where the termites were discovered. That evening, around midnight, water started falling from my ceiling into my bed. I called emergency maintenance, and they told me there was nothing they could do and would address it the next day. Allegedly, no contractors were interested in attempting to fix this, as they would be assuming more liability than they are comfortable with. Finally, maintenance came to attempt to fix the problem. That night, it rained on me again. Although the leak was significantly improved, it was not fixed. On February 20, I had been offered no resolution, no compensation, and zero assurance that this situation is being handled. While I would like to believe this was a one off, it seems difficult to believe as when my sink was flooding in November, they had a plumber come and for the next week I kept being greeted by human feces in the car port where I park my car. Additionally, my single pane windows let in a ton of cold air and it is extremely difficult to keep my apartment warm. I had a PGE bill over $300. They have offered to replace my windows. Now in May, since I moved out- the windows have still not been replaced. While I enjoy staying at Monterey Townhouse, I cannot in good conscious recommend this complex to anyone, as any problem is sure to be neglected, and you may find yourself cold and wet inside your own home, or perhaps surrounded by feces. Office staff and Renee are good people and did their best. Have nothing negative to say about them. Cheers. (I did send this review to the regional manager and said I would love to not post this if he was able to fix the situation and his response was to tell me that I was sounding threatening. Hi Johnny!)
