I've had a great experience living in this apartment complex. The property is clean, well-maintained, and the staff has always been friendly and professional. I especially want to recognize Ben from the maintenance team. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and always takes the time to make sure repairs are done correctly. He arrives on time, explains the issue if needed, and genuinely cares about providing excellent service. It's clear he takes pride in his work, and residents really benefit from having someone like him on the team. Thank you, Ben, and the entire staff, for helping make this a great place to live! read more

I recently visited the Monterey apartments in Corona to tour a potential unit, and I had a terrible experience. The leasing office staff were incredibly rude and acted like I was an inconvenience just for being there. They paid absolutely no attention to my questions and showed zero professionalism. If this is how they treat prospective residents, I can't imagine how poorly they treat actual tenants. Total waste of time. read more

This place is a joke The office staff is very rude and not very helpful. They tow cars left and right which is so wrong. The Monterey Apartments are very dirty and when you need maintenance to come out it takes days and days worse place to live don't move here read more

Great place to live! The pools and the community rooms are absolutely beautiful! Great areas to host a family gathering or simply relax! Shayia is so kind as well. read more

The yearly pool party was very nice. The office team did a great job! Thank you Samantha, Shayla,, Leslie, and Dustin!

Great property, good communication. Great amenities. Had a good experience since living here.

Shoutout to Josh and Dustin for getting my garage fixed and working again. Made a work order for it and got resolved the next day compared to last time, which took way longer so that was nice. read more

Lived here for many years. When kind, and hardworking people work here it's the best. Leslie has always been amazing and we appreciate her so much. She knows us, says hi, remembers our family and overall makes it easier when this place switches management at the drop of a hat. The maintenance people are kind also, we have had work from both Josh and Ben and they were kind and got things fixed quickly. Thanks Monterey Team! It's good people working there that make this place great. read more

Ben came in after I called to fix our front door, garbage disposal, washing machine, and replaced our air filter all within about an hour. Super kind, loved our golden retriever, and super fast. Thank you Ben! Crushed it! read more

I met Ben today for the first time. He's been in the position for at least three weeks. I was expecting to see Josh but I was surprised that I hadn't seen my guy. Long story short, he was amazing and gave me the same awesome experience as Josh, I'm glad they added Ben to there team. read more

While we initially enjoyed living at The Monterey, about a week and a half after moving out is when it became a nightmare. On the day of our move-out, our walk-through went great and no issues were brought up by Leslie during it. As you can see from my attached pictures, management attempted to charge us over $3,000 (!!!!) for pre-existing flooring damage (see my move-in checklist- circled areas- from June of 2025). We moved in on 6/26/25 and moved out on 1/26/26- only lived there for 7 months! Check the dates in my pictures to verify what I'm telling you. They admitted in writing that the damage was pre-existing and still attempted to get money out of us. They also missed the legal 21-day deadline to return our deposit AND provided a ledger that backdated their entries to hide their non-compliance. All of this is violating California Civil Code 1950.5. It took me physically going to the Corona Courthouse to file a Small Claims case before they suddenly "waived" the wrongful charges and returned my deposit (making it seem like they were doing me a favor- I have email proof of this also). My pictures are not lying and I have other factual proof if anything wants to reach out to me for a discussion. It is so upsetting that a truly positive experience ended in a nightmare! My advice to future tenants if you decide to risk living here: Document everything, take pictures at move-in, keep every email, and don't be afraid to exercise your legal rights. Do not let them bully you into paying for damages that you are not responsible for. I had to fight for 3 long weeks to get what was legally mine. Having that documentation from our move-in is what saved us. Proceed with extreme caution. Makes you wonder how many residents they do this to upon move-out. read more

Beautiful & wonderful place to live @ The Monterey Apartments. #Shayla, Leslie, Samantha & Dustin are all the best!

I have lived here for a while the pool is nice I would return for summer time. Also everyone is nice .

Josh and Dustin are always very helpful with my maintenance requests and come to resolve them in a timely manner. They are very friendly and joyful when they come to the unit. I am very pleased with their service read more

Horrible service! Went to do a walk in for a few questions and door was locked and someone was inside ignoring us. Made an appointment for the following day and they called me 20 minutes before the appoint to reschedule. So inconsiderate and the woman was also so passive aggressive. read more

My AC stopped working and Josh arrived to assess the problem. He had it figured out in less than 60 seconds and was able to fix the issue within 10 minutes, while also explaining to me what caused the outage. Very respectful of the space and made sure to let me know what he was working on as he did it. Josh handled everything perfectly, amazing work! read more

Don't be fooled, the noise was unbearable night and day, it never stopped. The management did nothing about it. The whole experience was a nightmare, the worst apartments ever. read more

Leslie and Shayla were incredibly helpful when I was choosing a unit. Leslie gave me a thorough tour, answered every question, and even shared some practical tips about the apartment. I've been living here for about three weeks now, and I absolutely love it, it's so peaceful and calm. I'm not sure why some reviews mention a hallway odor; in my experience, the building has been well-maintained, and the common areas have felt fresh. Great management they had answered every time. read more

They don't care about spending money on fixing apartments or any apartment amenities. They just give their maintenance workers new golf carts and they speed around the neighborhood. Don't even get me started on the terrible parking. If you're here anytime after the office closes no parking that's why they love doing showings during the day. Dog poop everywhere smells like dog pee everywhere. All the dogs are aggressive. None of the dogs get along. Everyone here has animals and babies so you can only imagine the parties here are so ghetto. Cops are always called. Fights are always happening, drunk people all around people treat this place like they're on a short term vacation. Not to mention the evictions this is the most evictions I've seen of any place I've ever lived and my neighbor died here saw them take their body and then guess what someone moved in a couple weeks later I don't know. Seems weird and gross whoever owns this does not care about people only profits. Lastly every kid from every surrounding apartment will be at the pool. That's why the pool is always so loud and so busy. I've been seeing parents with car filled with kids, dropping them off at the pool and then going back up the street to the promenade where they live, and then coming back in their car, picking up all the kids and going back to the promenade read more

**ALERT** DO NOT rent at this place. I spent almost 5 years at this apartment complex, nothing but problems with fake promises. I moved 2 times due to noise, my car got broken into 3 times. And when I decided to move out, I requested an in person move out inspection because I know what's coming. And guess what? They never showed up, I move, the apartment is in pristine condition with normal wear and tear. I get hit with almost 1590$ bill, no deposit back. I reviewed the bill, changed carpet , deep cleaned, changed the blinds due to smoking which I never did. I call them and dispute, they say the "tech" that came in for an inspection again, post move out lol decided that there's a heavy smoke smell in the house. I call again, and tell them this is absurd, like it's kinda of a joke because it feels like this is what they do to renovate their place. Anyway, I got a message from collections today, I will sue you. Not because of the amount, no. I pay gas with this amount. But for the principle, you guys are a SCAM and I will not rest until you guys get what you deserve read more

Hello, I've recently had some maintenance requests, to which have been resolved by Josh!He has been very helpful and quick to respond. Shout out to Josh, thank you! read more

I have had an amazing experience moving into the Monterey and everyone has been very supportive. I feel like they look out after their residents. Shayla was with us in every step of the process and continues to be. No complaints. read more

Had a great experience living here! Amenities are great here, the building I lived in was quiet. I didn't have no issue with parking because I paid for an additional parking space. The maintenance here is quick to get to your request if there's anything wrong! Only issues I had is that parking for guest is bad, you have cars parked in the guest parking for days or even weeks which isn't fair for everyone else. I did have an ant issue as well in my apartment that was an on going issue for almost a month. But pest control took care of it after they had to come a 2nd time. I will miss the Mountain View coming home :( But overall besides the ants and people being inconsiderate with parking this place is great! Wanted to renew my lease but decided to move back to Orange County! The 91 freeway is a nightmare! read more

AVOID AVOID AVOID! My family went to "tour" this complex. We were dressed in comfy sweats and sweaters, and by far did not expect to be treated like we were LESS THAN. Just because we were dressed a certain way. Leslie made the experience horrible making us feel like we were wasting her time. We would ask questions and she would answer with another question, making us very uncomfortable. I asked if we could hear the neighbors walking upstairs and she answered with " What, you've never lived in a apartment before"? She didn't even show us the amenities, she just walked from one apartment to the other and asked how much we wanted to spend on a place. Wow!! Absolute terrible customer service and experience, maybe dress better if you want to be treated with decency. read more

Lived at these apartments for some time, any maintenance request I would do would take some time, even get a response from the front office or a call back was difficult.The office should be more professional and response at timely matter. read more

The Monterey Corona Apartments has Homeless people living in the utility closets. Attached is a ring camera video. Twice I found homeless sleeping on the stairwell. Homeless will pee and poop in your building hallways. Many times I've tried to contact them and work on resolutions, but sadly gotten no response back. Rent is outrageous at 2800. read more

I just want to start off by saying that this is the first semi bad review I have ever left. Staying here in the beginning was a dream, I loved it. My partner had some trouble with parking but it wasn't a deal breaker. Then, towards the end of our lease we started having issues. First our car was broken into, there is no security here, if they say otherwise it's a lie. Their idea of security is a guy who comes like once a month and drives around and then leaves. Then we started receiving emails from management informing their residents that our cars could start getting towed if parked in a spot for too long etc. The reason? To make room for non-residents, aka "possible" future residents. You have residents who pay 2,700+ to live here and you are prioritizing people who have not even decided to live here yet over them. I honestly could not believe it, and to make matters worse you have the wrong towing company name listed on your email! Hook & Book towing isn't even in service anymore it's Hook & Book towing recovery. We drove all the way to Hook & Book and was told it was a completely different one and that they weren't even in service. Luckily, the car that was towed was going to be junked anyway, and Hook & Book towing recovery helped us with that process, but we had that car parked in what management considers to be a "safe" spot and it was still towed. We also tried to rent a parking space and were told there was a waitlist, LOL. So you want us to not park in the open spaces, but when we try to pay to park there's a waitlist and there's no other solution to having an extra car. It was so crazy it was laughable. It honestly ruined my whole outlook on these apartments. It was better when Paul was here BY FAR. Anyways, moral of the story, if you have more than two cars and might need additional parking space don't choose this property. I wrote this review after we moved out in fear of retaliation from management, because as some of the reviews were stating, they do that. Again, in the beginning it was perfect, (parking eh) but management was great, after getting new staff, things started going downhill, good luck keeping residents with the way you run the parking situation. read more
