Montierra Apartamentos

While living here one of the residents crashed their car into mine totaling out my car. They did not leave a note. I notified the office of what had happened giving them a clear description of the red Kia optima that witnesses saw hit my car but did not get a license plate. I asked them if they would mind to send a simple email to the community asking if anyone had information to please contact me or the San Diego police department. The office refused and offered no assistance in helping me. ... They refused to look up their list of registered vehicles matching description. If you move here beware. This place is very unprofessional.

The property conveniently located close to the freeway, shopping, dining. The property has a lot of landscaping that requires routine service. This goes on practically nonstop and the noise echoes throughout the property which made working from home impossible for me. The basketball court, volleyball court, tennis court are in high use by the residents so if you need quiet to make calls, concentrate on work, even watch television you will have plenty background noise. The sound pierced the walls. This is something to think about before choosing this place. The maintenance requests were filled 75% of the time. My apartment wasn't very energy efficient and bills can be higher than usual most of the year. The USPS delivery person a left note in our box stating she has Arthritis so if you live upstairs you will have to drive to the post office to collect your packages as she is unable to climb stairs. Be careful leaving at night and early morning often times I saw coyotes wandering the property as the property is next to the canyon. We were left without heat in the winter which was not fun. They never resolved the broken heater even until we moved out a month later. Lee mas

Montierra is a good place to call home if you are:
1.) Looking for a dog friendly (large dog included) complex. Dog complexes are pretty hard to come by and LARGE dog complexes are near impossible! This is one of them and they love their pets here.
2.) Looking to have your apartment close to the freeway. I-15 is literally your neighbor.
3.) Someone who likes to be away from the busy city but close to shops and strips.
4.) Someone who is looking for assigned parking so that you don't have to... walk 5 blocks back and forth to your car. I visit friends who live closer to the city and have 1 spot for three roommates! You'll have space here.
5.) A bicyclist who likes to enjoy long bike rides with scenery. The mountains are picturesque. And I have heard from bicyclists that RP/Mira Mesa are prime cycling routes.
Montierra may not be your home if you are:
1.) Someone who is allergic to animals. The complex holds a lot of dogs and plenty of felines. You'll be buying a lot of anti-allergy medicine if you come here.
2.) Someone who wants to be in a walk-able community, where you can walk to the grocery stores, the post office, etc. Montierra is convenient located near the 15 but not much else. You'll need some wheels.
Overall, I would say that it is a great place for families, young professionals and fur babies alike. Lee mas

Montierra is an affordable and beautiful apartment complex with spacious 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. It is an animal friendly, gated community with a dog park, tennis courts, volleyball court, half basketball court, gym, pool and hot tub and bbq areas. My husband and I rent out the two bedroom and LOVE it. It's only a couple hundred dollars difference from a one bedroom. When you walk in there is a huge living room with a fireplace, then walk straight to the dinning room with a dangling light on... the right and to the left is the kitchen, with dishwasher,sink, stove, microwave and refrigerator. Between the kitchen/dinning room and the living room is two bedrooms opposite of each other. They are huge with bathrooms that have shower/bath and sink. Also the bedrooms have a walk in closet with mirrors. There is windows in each bedroom and livingroom as well as cable outlets. The washer and dryer are in a room outside which is AWESOME. We love living here. Here is the address and phone number below if you would like to join our community. Thank you Montierra at Rancho Penasquitos!!!

So far we have enjoyed living here but the location of our apartment is right off the canyon and the spiders never stop. I have had my place sprayed twice and they still hangout on the ceiling, its makes you paranoid. I love the neighborhood, its quite, managers are so nice, pool is clean and most importantly i feel safe. I just would have picked a different apartment, I honestly cant wait to move because of the spiders. I would recommend this place with out a doubt but just not this apartment. ... Hope this helps. . Also beware of the crazy lady in building 9928, she cusses at little kids and seems unstable. Lee mas
