    It has been wonderful living at Le Montreaux. I have been here for a year and a half now. The apartments are in great shape and isolated enough that you get no neighbor noise. Parking is always available and much of it is covered. There is a great pool, a solid gym, and a good quiet but lively community. The staff (Mary and Renee) are always affable, quick, and helpful. Maintenance comes quick. The area is very safe. I highly recommend.

    5/5 Vivian A. on May 14, 2024

    Any problem that I have in regard to the maintenance always is taken care of promptly. All the office staff and maintenance are very respectful and kind. I have lived in these apartments 10 years and that is one thing I can say that they are quick to assist with any problems I have had. If it will be something that has to get ordered or take longer, they let explain what has to be done. These are the only apartments that I have lived in that problems have been fixed quickly. Thank You for all you hard work. Vivian Alires

    Having been a resident here for almost 11 years, I have seen a lot of changes recently. Not only are they improving the property itself, but the experience living here has been dramatically different ... and that is because of the Management team. I have gone from having my concerns for years being ignored or being told that there is nothing that can be done, to seeing steps being taken to address those concerns. The manager, Kate, from the start, treated me as a valued member of this community and assured me that my questions and concerns mattered. Lucy and Q are both such a delight to interact with and are patient with my questions and go the extra mile to assure me that I belong! I was told by past Management teams here that apartment living was just temporary housing but this team understands that for me, a later-in-life ex-hippie, this is my home. And that makes a world of difference!! And that difference is because of Kate, Lucy, and Q!!! Plus ... they love my dogs, Chloe and Cooper.

    4.5/5 Ralene N. on Oct 8, 2024

    We love it here! Staff is always friendly and maintenance is always quick to respond. Even though it’s currently a little noisy, we appreciate the improvements that are currently being done to the complex.

    I've lived here for almost 3 years. It is in a superb location, close to all major highways. My two apartments I've lived in were fresh with new paint and flooring. The management gals - Susan and Crystal are the best. They are dedicated to making this property community friendly and well taken care of. Max and Michael do a fantastic job at maintenance. It's tough to choose which is better - the management or the maintenance! Anytime I've had a problem, it's been taken care of quickly, often within 2 hours. You can't get that service owning a home!! Susan is very engaging, always ready to chat when you go in to get a package delivered. That's a plus also - your packages won't get taken by porch pirates when they're delivered to the office. Susan has strivved to make this a fun community with Christmas wrapping events, Halloween decoration contests and pet costume contests. Both the office gals are committed to assisting residents in any and all issues. Bottom line, I wouldn't live anyplace else!
