My Montecito Experience
I have nothing but positive things to say about my living experience here at Montecito apartments. The location is very ... convenient to EVERYTHING!! You have stores, restaurants, Walmart, North Hills all within walking distance. Yet, it's very peaceful and quiet. The grounds are always well manicured and neat. The maintenance staff is always helpful and responds promptly. I have to say, I'm most impress with the office staff. Janet Jackson is the absolute BEST!!! Janet is always very professional and personable. She is always joyful and a jewel to interact with. In my opinion, Janet is the face of Montecito and Drucker!! Janet is one of the reasons I've renewed my lease for the past years. Janet responds quickly to emails. She's very patient and understanding. It's not always easy working with the public. Janet makes it look and seem so easy. She's a natural with Customer Service! If you are looking for a nice spacious apartment that's conveniently located, with a great price point and amazing staff. You should consider making Montecito apartments your new home!! Best Regards, Kenneth Artis Read More about My Montecito ExperienceBy: Kenneth Artis Verified Resident
Super HVAC Service
We recently had to have our HVAC replaced and the process was incredibly smooth. The office staff coordinated and communicated ... everything smoothly. All the Montecito and contractor personnel we dealt with were courteous, respectful, and professional. They did their work in the most efficient and unobtrusive manner they could and were mindful of keeping everything clean when they left. Great job all around.

Janet Jackson very energetic, passionate about her job. Her efforts are inspiring and her skills and style is very good and ... unique. Very rare to find someone like Janet. It is the truth and the honest truth. Because of Janet I sign the lease. I will go beyond my ability to refer a lot of clients to move to Montecito and I m 100% sure Janet will help them and provide them with the best possible service.

I moved in June 2025 and all is going very well . Maintenance is very responsive, Janet J is always sweet and helpful. If ... she is not available at that time she gets back to you before the end of the day. My neighbors are respectful and friendly. It is pretty quiet which surprised me considering the size of the complex and its location. Read More about Living in the Montecito CommunityBy: Katie Hansen Verified Resident
North Hills Without the Sticker Shock
The Montecito is a quiet community. The leasing management team (Shout out to Janet and Bonnie) is responsive and provides ... adequate notice if there is going to be any entrance needed into the apartment. If there are planned outages you are notified so you can make appropriate plans. You can count on replacing the air filters and checking the smoke detectors twice a year when the time changes. The property landscape, and outside buildings are well maintained. The outside building is power washed, along with the breezeways and patios. Buildings are smoke free or going smoke free, and more units are getting washers and dryers. There are a few laundry buildings, for the community but I found walking to laundromat was more convenient with larger and faster equipment. There are three pools, the one next to the exercise building is my favorite. The maintenance team is amazing. In the middle of the night, on the weekends, whenever, their response is immediate. If they can't resolve, they get the needed professional in and quickly. At all times the office will keep you updated. If you want super quiet, go for the one bedrooms between Colby and Hardimont. Love the older construction. There are no assigned resident spaces but parking has not been a problem. I can walk to three different grocery stores, fast food, pizza, coffee and full service restaurants. I seldom take my car out. There is a bus stop right outside the buildings along Hardimont, and at the top of Colby. One is a line to Downtown and the other is a loop to Mid-Town and North Hills. The best Shopping and concerts, and Farmers Market. Just walk up to Wake Forest Rd, and you can go anywhere in Raleigh, Cary and Durham.

Still love it!
Working at a nearby hospital, the location price and amenities are perfect for us. We have lived here for two years and ... we love it. This is such a quiet area, the entire complex is nestled in trees. Location is hard to beat. Very walkable. Grocery store, food places, a little brewery even just opened in front of us, all within a 2 minute walk. Office staff and maintenance men have always been so wonderful to us. Prompt, attentive, and courteous. These are older apartments but everything is maintained so well. Read More about Still love it!By: Anonymous Verified Resident

Janet at the front desk is one of the nicest, most accommodating people I have ever spoken to. I am making a move to the ... area from out of state. Janet has taken the time to go above and beyond to assure me about my move as far as even adding how far my commute to work will be, local stores, and other information about the area. Janet and the team here have been beyond amazing, they definitely stand out compared to other apartment complexes in the area! Read More about Fantastic ServiceBy: Joe Verified Resident

Source: Property SiteGood value, Great location, Unfortunately busy roads
The apartments are nice for their price, the maintenance team is very friendly and understanding though putting requests ... in and getting a response can be delayed at times, parking is usually ample. The vinyl wood floors aren't the best quality, but they're much better than carpet. The kitchen is tiny, but you get used to it. The location is incredibly well placed, but it also means there is a lot of street noise. Overall, it's good and I do recommend it to people who don't want to pay for high end apartments but still want a good quality place. The seasonal changes do result in more bugs flocking to your apartment, but it's only for a week or two at a time.

The greatest customer service experience I have ever encountered in my life. Janet is not only courteous and professional, ... she is kind in her efficiency and enthusiastic about helping in your home search. She was very informative and patient and though I did not choose Montecito apartments those who do will be extremely satisfied. Thank you Janet for being a wonderful person and taking the work you do to heart. Read More about Janet JacksonBy: Mitri Verified Resident

I reallt enjoy living in this community. I have taken advantage of amenities on the property and really like having the options ... of 3 different pools to go to. The staff is nice and friendly and quick to resolve issues. I only gave 4 on parking bc sometimes residents park in visitor spots (with and without parking stickers), which Staff can't always help, but is still annoying at times. You can't beat the location and since the units are "older" (but upgraded inside) they are nice and spacious. Read More about Great ExperienceBy: Jessica K. Verified Resident

Shangrai-La
As a 10-year resident of Montecito in Raleigh I can state, honestly, that this is the best place I've ever lived. I'm in ... my late 50s, have had established residences in 4 states & in Europe, and Montecito Apartment Community has everything to make me happy & keep me happy. First & foremost is the staff, both in the office & in maintenance. Situations are understood & handled quickly and correctly. The location of the property in proximity to points of interest (essential grocery stores, drug stores, retail stores, and even the distance to our lovely downtown area) cannot be beat. The old-growth tree coverage on our property along with the green carpet of grass, & established shrubs is lovely and calming. The property is horticulturally well-maintained, it is quiet, and I awaken every day knowing that I'm safe and receiving more than my money's worth for my living space. I cannot say enough about Montecito except that I will probably never leave here!! Read More about Shangrai-LaBy: David Stuart Verified Resident
