Montecito is a beautiful place to live & definitely is NOT a mass of apartment buildings with parking lots sitting on a busy, noisy street. Montecito is special in many ways: 1) Fantastic location- tucked between a beautiful established N hills neighborhood and a 3-5 minute access to Wake Forest or Six Forks Rd (shopping everywhere) and the I-440 beltway. 2) Beautiful grounds - quiet and surrounded by nature with rolling hills and green lawns, giant pine and hardwood trees everywhere, and crepe myrtle trees blossoming about. 3) Spacious, fabulous and pristine -newly renovated with all new, modern everything! large rooms & unique features (built in bookshelves, archways, etc) , lots of storage including walk-in closets 4) Style & price options: Two story townhomes, unique quadraplexes with private balconies, classic multiple units with connected walkways & private balconies; convenient parking - all accessible via winding walkways with white railings or wooden stairways. 5) Amenities: every apt overlooks nature and one of 3 pools (10’ deep), has access to a beautiful clubhouse, fitness gym, and three laundry facilities (centrally located for units not yet upgraded with washer-dryers connections). Several building are designated "completely" smoke free! 6) Terrific staff: No AI bots here- just real people with good vibes & dedicated to helping you find the best fit for you. Miss Janet makes the selection, application, and move-in process so easy! And maintenance staff zip quietly about on golf carts all day- managing concerns. Non urgent requests can be submitted online- so you can know who is coming when, get progress updates, and even rate the job! Beautiful Montecito is one of the best kept secrets of Midtown! Unique buildings, balconies with a view and more! Come see for yourself.

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

Here's a polished review you can post: ????? I moved to Montecito in September 2025, and I have had a great experience living here. The management and maintenance teams are very responsive and professional. Whenever an issue comes up, it gets resolved quickly. For example, I recently had a leak in my room. I submitted a maintenance request, and the team responded immediately. They fixed the problem within a couple of hours, and everything was resolved the same day. It's great to live in a place where concerns are taken seriously and handled so efficiently. I highly recommend Montecito to anyone looking for a well-managed community.

We've lived here at Montecito for about 4 and a half months now, our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. From the moment we moved in, the staff especially Janet and the management team have been professional, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. Any questions or maintenance requests we've had were handled quickly and efficiently, shout out to (Larry) which really shows how much they care about residents. Another thing we've enjoyed is the atmosphere of the community. The location is also a huge plus - close to shopping, restaurants, and everything we need while still feeling peaceful and residential.

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.
