The new management company is doing a good job of making the property better. They care about the residents, are doing some fun events, and aren't raising the prices like crazy. Good people!

TERRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE.
Price increasing
Parking lot closures
Dangerous construction
Bad management (won’t even listen to your concerns or take time to talk to you)

I do not suggest living here. This is not a safe apartment complex and the staff does not care. During my time here, the hubcaps off of my tires were stolen, my roommates car was hit, there was a stabbing two doors down, and a shooting in the parking lot. My roommate and I addressed our concerns with the office multiple times, as there are no security cameras outside and the security are not geared to handle these situations. The office disregarded these concerns and stated that "security... cameras are an invasion of privacy", even if they are facing away from the buildings/windows...

There are very loud parties at the pool and the entire property always smells like weed.

There were also ridiculous fees when moving out. The manager did remove some fees for myself, but we were still left with $300 total cleaning fees for the apartment (although our apartment was not that dirty) and my roommate was charged $100 for a small scuff on the wall that was behind his bed and not even an inch long. When he addressed the property manager, she completely ignored his calls/text. I think that these charges are strange, considering that our apartment was extremely dirty when we first moved in.

They randomly will change parking permits and then tow your car make you pay for it, if you do not have the updated permit.

Each time I had to address the office, most of their staff was rude and acted as if it was an inconvenience to help.
The only good thing that I have to say about Monarch's staff is that their maintenance staff is nice and willing to help.

The actual apartment was nice. It is very unfortunate that they have terrible staff and it is not safe. Read More

my dog loves the pet park and free treats from the office!

I, like so many others, thought Monarch couldn’t be as bad as the stories I heard. And I was right, it’s worse than the stories. It smells like weed constantly. Waking up on the weekends you find vomit, poop, alcohol, glass and bottles in the hallways and in the grass. People have violent dogs they let off leash (one my best friends dog was violently attacked by the dog of another resident who was notorious for attacking dogs). There have been countless shootings and stabbings. There was... actually a SWAT raid in my building last week. I had to report an incident to the police and when I told them where I lived they remarked “ya I used to work in that district and it was none stop calls”. Management is too incompetent to take the time to enact safety measures. Please for the love of God live literally anywhere else. Read More
