BEWARE!!!! Do not move here. Do not give them a dime. Horribly built units, expensive utilities that are not included at all in the monthly rent, quite a bit of crime (gun shots, car accidents, fights), harassment by staff about pretty much anything and everything they can have an opinion on or issue with. The ladies at the front are some of the nastiest people I've ever met, and that's saying a lot. Jacqui was great at the beginning, but after that I only dealt with Bridget and Amy and trust me, you don't ever need to meet these two women. Constant water turn offs, laundry machines

So happy I found this place! Office staff and maintenance staff have been very kind and welcoming since day one! Any work order I've submitted has been completed in less than 24 hours. I really appreciate the office staff for being so attentive and always answering my questions and taking care of any issues we run into! They're always so busy, yet they still smile and wave at everyone they run into.

Great location and staff helpful especially after really noisy and hostile Neighbour who was eventually evicted but very dark and damp. Clothes and furniture still have damp odor some two weeks after moving out. Final straw was deduction of $160 from deposit for cleaning after I left when I had paid cleaning company to ensure apartment was as clean as when I took over. Which they did! Am going to insist on that being returned.

The best apartment in Monterey! The staff is amazing and they get back to their residents quickly. If an issue ever does arise, they go above and beyond to fix it. The amenities are awesome. It includes a gym, dog park, tons of clean laundry facilities, 2 pools and a game room. The maintenance staff is incredible and extremely friendly. They are always willing to help and make the living here relaxing. Our apartment has a really nice view of the ocean, as well as a cute patio where we can look out, and still have privacy. The community here is friendly, and I have never encountered anyone who was

I lived in MP for almost two years, during which time the property was undergoing significant upgrades. I absolutely loved the community there- after a brief bout of miscommunication, the local staff was able to handle a major issue and returned much more of my security deposit than I had anticipated. Amy is the absolute best and I'm thankful that she was able to help me so rapidly. Bottom line: I would absolutely live here again! GREAT staff and amenities.

I've lived here for a couple of years now and this is one of the best spots to live in Monterey. Very pet friendly, great amenities and a lot of which are brand new or remodeled! I have the updated single bedroom apt and it is great for a couple and two dogs! The heated pools make all the difference when swimming in Monterey and the gym is everything you need to get a solid full body work out! The office staff and grounds keepers couldn't be friendlier. The office manager Amy is THE BEST and she does everything she can to make your living at the Monterey Pines a wonderful experience!

I moved to Monterey, 2.5 years ago. I had a heck of a time finding a place that takes pets, it was quit the challenge. I stumbled across Monterey Pines and met Amy and Taylor, two of the loveliest ladies I have met since moving here. They showed me the newly remodeled unit and it was love at first sight.
Let me say, I know some of my request are unusual, but it seems like these ladies and the team thrive off of the unusual! Anything I ask for within reason, they are happy to assist. My new puppy is only 7 lbs I was terrified, that he would fit through the balcony slates. Amy and Mike had maintenance

Nice apartment complex in a great area of Monterey. The staff is responsive and nice and does monthly activities. The only real issues are the semi-frequent water line issues and the fact that they use the utility provider Conservice, which is a whole other story (check out their Yelp ratings). The complex does live up to its name and is full of beautiful trees with Spanish moss hanging off of them. It was a nice place to spend three years in Monterey.

"a great place to call "home". The entire staff always greet you with a smile and are very helpful to our needs, and are quick to attend to any problems that arise . The grounds and facilities are kept clean every day by friendly courteous workers. Some units have great ocean view and the location is very convenient. A beautiful neighborhood close to the beach and downtown Monterey and MPC.

I love this place and all but rent is super expensive for a college student. I pay (with a roommate) 1187.50. Which is way to much for my likely if you also haven't even agreed on this place in the start of moving in. It's way to much! I also gotten a "noise" complaint that wasn't my fault nor my friends fault. The manger of this apartment assumed that I wasn't here at my place or I didn't remember. If something happened way months ago then why bring something up? My main point is that they don't tell when you've gotten a complaint more than once when

Just moved back to Orange County for work. I spent almost three years at this complex. Loved it!!
My large size balcony had views of canyons, all types of trees including the "Enchanted Forest." (Old name for the forest) Lots of availability for walking the "dog." Sunny-most afternoons compared to Monterey downtown some days.
Pleasant atmosphere and clean.
Great staff in the office both Amy and Taeler. Maintenance team friendly and available. They also have activities for the holidays at the clubhouse by the pool.

I struggle with how I feel about this place.
Yelp considers 2 stars as "Meh. I've experienced better." Seems about right. I feel 1 star is extreme, but I strongly considered it because of the upkeep.
My husband and I have lived here for over a year.
At this point I'm not quite sure why we renewed our lease, we assumed things would get better.
The Good:
In the summer, this place isn't bad. Really. It's cool when you leave the windows open, there's a cross breeze, we have a peeking view of the ocean, it's really quite nice. Generally speaking, the maintenance

5 Stars! Here's why.
Moved in about a year and a half ago and my experience here has been absolutely pleasant. From the first day that we walked in until now, we have been treated with the utmost respect. I personally can't relate to some of the reviews because every-time we had an issue it was resolved in a few hours or the following day. The staff is awesome and they do try to incorporate a lot of activities throughout the year. Staff is very professional, respectful and honest. Management is the same way. I believe that peoples gripes about certain things are just mis-communications

I've lived at the Monterey Pines Apartments with my husband since April 2014. In the past three years, I've come to know the leasing staff and maintenance staff and believe they handle business at this 300+ apartment complex really well. It's quiet, there's no shady activity, and I feel really safe here. The maintenance crew is quick to make repair and I've never had to live with something subpar for more than a day. They're constantly updating the grounds and buildings, they've created a community by hosting bbq's, food truck Friday, and small parties

I'm so happy to call this place my home! Finding pet friendly housing is very difficult in Monterey. Any maintenance needed is ALWAYS taken care of, in a very quick manner. The staff knows all of the tenants by name, ( their pets, too.)
Food trucks come all of the time. There are events for the community.
I see all of these negative reviews, all I can think is that these people must have done something to not like this place, on their own.
I've lived here for over a year, and I'm proud.
Thank you, Monterey Pines and all of your AMAZING staff for making my life a happy one
