Good and Bad

There are both good and bad things about the Monterra. Unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good by a great margin. The positives about the Monterra, the view is nice, convenient location, the apartments at a glance look nice. Now the negatives, This apartment complex seems as if it was made in a hurry or with cheap material. Initally, everything looked great, but slowly, everything is either breaking or fraying or not working properly. I have called the maintenance on a lot of these issues, but maintenance cannot fix all of these problems because they are more wear and tear related. Being a busy professional, I am a busy person and do not feel that I should have to call maintenance as often as needed, as if it a waste of my time. AG Spanos should not have used such shoddy material in the first place. I live on the fourth floor, so parking is not as big of an issue for me, but the bigger issue in the garage is how people drive. They have put speed bumps, but people still drive like maniacs and there are these few air heads who I have seen actually applying makeup while driving down the ramp. Safety is also a concern, a lot cars have been broken into and initially when we moved here there were some apartments that were also broken into. I believe they should have had the garage doors leading into the hallways also secured. The garage is only secured by gates once you are in the gates you can get into the apartment complex easily. Anyone can jump over the gates and come into the garage and then into your home. I don't think security is a major concern. They have these random punch key pads all around the complex which do not do anything. Monterra much rather secure their yoga room instead of securing tenant apartments by controlling access to the hallways. IT MAKES NO SENSE. The pool also has this random key pad which is dumb, because you can just put your hand over the fence and open the gate on the other side! The management office, well the only one who knows whats going on is ------. ----- the concierge is nice but utterly clueless. So if having a concierge is important to you, then don't bother moving here. I also do believe that the positive reviews on this website are being left by the staff. I think it would be to the betterment of all of us if the staff acutally helped out the current tenants instead of wasting time browsing the internet and leaving fake responses, but then again, that just tells you how this place is handled. There are many other negatives, which if listed would take the whole day. Anyway, I really appreciate the fact that all of you have taken the time out of your schedules to review this place, I wish this had been available to me when I first moved here, it would have really helped!
