beware I lived in Montecito Pines Apartments for almost 3 years and have known other close friends that lived there as well. First off I dont know how i lasted that long in that complex. Apparently they are now having people sign leases and Im glad I got out of there before then. The complex is becomig very run down and I think its poorly managed. Just to name a few things that are problems: the hot tub is cold and rarely ever works, theres a laundry facility and its about 2.00 per load not including drying (half the time th... read more

Former residents opinion I lived there for about 9 years. When I moved in they were a step up from where I had been living. However over the years the rent was continually increased to where they were no longer a reasonable value. Also over the years there were structural problems, termite damage to my patio and patio storage area. An overhead plumbing leak ruined the carpet and wallboard.

A landscape and grounds crew is also on the job to keep the lawns mowed, hedges trimmed, leaves, pine needles and debris to a minimum. The apartments are not well insulated. They are hot in the summer time (no a... read more

Its ok, but I wouldn't want to live there. A friend of mine lives here, and I visit quite often. The building itself it covered in tacky brown wooden shavings. It blends in well with the tall pine trees, which give it its signature name. There should be more visitor parking offered since I usually have to take the bus whenever I visit. The insides of the apartments have seen better days. The lighting has a tendancy to flicker, and it gets extremely cold at night. There is a shag carpet, and white wall. Overall, it's a little... read more
