Unfortunately, we have had many water leaks from the ceiling and the recessed lights. After yesterday's storm the "fixes" that the maintenance crew used previously have failed and the ceiling has caved. The water is now spreading in the ceiling to multiple rooms of the penthouse causing massive leaks and water build up. This is now impacting apartments below us. The maintenance crew has been unresponsive for mitigation actions. They will not cover any of the furniture or tarp the failing roof areas to mitigate further damages, after multiple requests. They have also used our beautiful china and our trash cans to catch water from the leaks. Finally, no one will speak with us about the remediation plan.

It's also walking distance from the Richmond Heights Community Center and Library!

Overall, I enjoyed my 3 years of living in these apartments. The management (Stephanie & crew) and…read moremaintenance (Jerome) were friendly, professional, and helpful. The building has a lot of great amenities and an awesome rooftop. The location was mostly decent but seems to be getting better as more businesses are opening up nearby. Security was never issue for me here and I felt safe on the premises of the building. I removed a star because of a few major issues I had with my first apartment there, although management was quick to remedy them. Also, most fixtures and furnishes are good quality, however the 'wooden' floors scratched so easily I was afraid to do a lot on them. If anyone is looking for an apartment in this area I'd recommend it. The price is right, the apartments are nice, and management is the best. I have attached photos of the view from my apartment as well as the apartment itself right before I moved out.

The apartments are in large and very high-end in regards to flooring, lighting, granite countertops with spacious rooms and balconies available! It is a very secure building with underground parking and exceptional views of the sunset and sunrise. It is literally one block from the heartbeat of the Central West End! There are monthly social events and a wonderful clientele! If you have a dog there is a bath/grooming area, coffee/tea bar and truly exceptional rooftop with hot tubs, Weber grills, 360 views and tons of space inside and out with games, TVs and more!! Highly recommend for so many reasons!!

I moved to Montclair in June. As someone who has lived in the property for over four months, I…read morebelieve I have been here long enough to share my experiences. For those interested in the move-in process, it was relatively seamless. I was able to reserve the freight elevator and use the back alleyway for unloading. While the building itself is OLD, it is in remarkable shape. The units and facilities have all been recently updated; the quality of the appliances and renovations in my unit leave little to be desired. The only maintenance request I filed for a window AC unit was fulfilled the next day. I will say that I have had several concerns that other reviewers have shared about this property. I raised those concerns with the head of maintenance and building staff and learned that my concerns were already addressed or in the process of being handled. So, while Montclair might not be communicating to tenants that they are addressing our concerns, they are being handled. Some highlights from my first four months: - The main elevators were only down for maintenance once, and the service elevator was still available. - I was only here for one fire alarm, which occurred in the middle of the night. I have raised concerns about fire safety devices and procedures in the building, all of which are being handled. - I have raised concerns about lighting outside the building. Some lights have been replaced, with more planned for replacement. - There have been two occasions where there was a fly infestation in the laundry facilities. I was told this was due to a leak. Both times, the flies were removed using traps. The traps were effective. I much prefer the traps to an extermination solution as the facilities were still usable during the removal of the flies, and no harmful chemicals were used. - Montclair has hosted several events since I lived here, including complimentary wine Wednesdays, complimentary breakfasts, and a balloon glow watch party on the roof. The events always have a good turnout, and everyone I have met at the events has been great. Disclaimer: while I was not a tenant when another tenant was robbed at gunpoint in the building, I inquired about the incident upon moving-in. Since the incident, the exterior doors have been programmed to lock faster. There are already exterior cameras. As someone who understands the building owners cannot prevent crime in the area, I am satisfied with what they are doing to deter it from the property. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience at Montclair. I am happy with my unit as well as the staff, who has accommodated every request I have had. The reason for the four star review is the lack of communication with tenants. I would suggest to other tenants that they take the time to meet the building staff and bring forth their concerns. I believe Montclair will listen. Since my lease is a year long, I will update this review as things change. I am also be happy to reply to specific questions on my review.

TLDR: If you're thinking about renting here, turn back. It is definitely not high-end, and the…read morereality does not match the price or the promises. My first month here has been a nightmare: Day 1 ceiling leak: On my literal move-in day, I walked into a major ceiling leak. That kicked off two straight weeks of torn-down walls, drywall dust, industrial fans running 24/7, and a bathroom door that wouldn't even close. The unit was completely unlivable, my groceries went bad, and I had to couchsurf for days because management dragged their feet on finding temporary housing. Week 3 sewage flood: Right after those initial repairs wrapped up and I finally started settling in, a massive plumbing failure caused contaminated water to back up and completely flood the apartment. I spent hours just trying to salvage my dry belongings from the damage. I fell in love with the Forest Park location and heard decent things from friends, but living here has been exhausting and completely disruptive while trying to start a new job. I haven't had a single peaceful week since signing the lease. Save yourself the headache and money--look somewhere else

Apartment hunters in STL have a huge task in finding a great place to live. Let me save you some…read moretime and tell you to take a hard pass on this place. Over the past three years this complex has taken a huge dive down into the level of unacceptable conditions. It appears they will just about rent to anyone just to put people in apartments without any regard for adjoining tenants. The tenants above us were so noisy it was a contributing factor to our decision to get away. It was constant noise. If you make the mistake of choosing this place you will be alarmed at the apathy coming from their office personnel. Any questions we had was a bother to them. At one time they tried everything except the right thing when we were dealing with an extremely noisy bathroom fan. Once they even bent the blades to "fix" it. They never did fix our ice maker in the whole time we were there. Security is a huge issue as we were alerted to kids kicking on doors during the night. Unattended children walking onto private patios was a problem. A gate at the back of the property was never locked allowing strangers on city streets to walk right into the complex. Dumpsters were constantly overflowing and infested with raccoons. Watch out! Don't get bit. The property managers along with the office manager and staff are completely indifferent to your concerns and appear to try to get by with the minimum amount of work. In summation, save yourself the time of going here to visit or renting here. Some reviews from other apartments seem like past tenants were just getting back at their former landlords. THIS is not one of those. It is an HONEST review of what we put up with. We never knew how could it could be now that we are in our new place. These people have it figured out here. The people at Park Forest -- don't have a clue!!
