I have lived in the Montierra off and on for nearly ten years (after taking a transfer out of state and back again with my work). Unfortunately, the complex has gone down hill over the years. Be prepared for frequent hikes in rent (every time your lease comes up), long periods of time where the pool and computer center are not open (especially over the holidays where kids are home from school and want friends over), frequent mail box break ins, gates that frequently do not work or are left open all weekend, no place to park to move in or out, people taking your parking place and waiting all night for a tow truck, theft of your packages where ups or fedex leaves them on your front doorstep when the office refuses to take them, paying a nonrefundable $75 each time you "rent" the clubhouse and having to allow other tenants in while you are paying for the use, noisy all night parties with drunk tenants at the pool, dirty jacuzzi, business center where the printer never works and the copier has been on site since 1998, obnoxious women in the rental office. I spoke with a woman in the business center last evening who was covered with bed bug bites and said she was moving because the office was not responsive in helping her get rid of the pests. What I am saying as gracefully as I can is choose another location. This complex's time has come and gone.
