“The maintenance team is very supportive and very quick to action, location is very feasible as you have most of the highway access close you. However, getting a response from management via email or phone is a task sometimes. No matter, how many follow ups you do the front office is very irresponsive. The noise is not necessarily an issue but can be depending upon the location of your unit.”

“I have no complaints whatsoever. Management made it super easy to fill out there application at there office and while my new apartment is great, when I needed assistance maintenance with things I needed clarification on like the outlets which required the light switch and my need to understand simple operations of the wash machine, everything has been a positive experience here, including Morgan Hill itself - wonderful vibe and friendly residents here at Mont Vista and the city in general. I highly recommend Monte Vista Apartments. This was where I had hoped to move to from San Jose and it was Monte Vista that contacted me to let me know of their 2 bdrm apartment availability.”
