Montecito Palm Beach Condominium

Have nicer staff in the front. No greeting or smiling is very strange for Palm Beach

Moved here a couple of weeks ago. The realtor did not disclose the noise of the maintenance yard below. the tri rail trains stop exactly underneath the window and keeps the engine running all night Be ready not to sleep. also be ready to have all the owners of the building to say that the noise is normal, they are trying to protect their asset, Just come to the building after 10pm, if you have doubts my unit is 912. I will not continue living here cause as any human

Great community but something to keep in mind - you cannot pick your cable or internet provider. They are currently with DirectTV, which is very unreliable. And again, since you don't have a say in this (even though this is allegedly USA), if you have business to do online or God forbid run a company from your home - you may want to know this information up front. I'm literally working from my car because the entire building is without internet for over 24 hours. I'm beyond infuriated.

Rented an unit on the first floor, moved in 7/1/2018, moved out 8/17/2018. The most insincere and unprofessional apartment management I've ever dealt with. The apartment management did a jet cleaning of drain pipes for the entire building which caused a massive black water backup in my kitchen from the floor all the way up to the ceiling with horrible sewage odor. The apartment manager, Megan Barbeau, promised the unit would be cleaned up completely. After they cleaned up the unit, there were still black stains visible more than 10 spots in the kitchen area (cabinets, walls, microwave, etc) and mold-like black dirt on one part of the cabinet. I let the landlord (Deluxe Realty) come into the unit to meet with Megan and Lacey Camcacho, assistant manager, to look over. As soon as I started showing the stained spots, Megan and Lacey left the unit for some reason. The landlord and apartment management told me the cleaning on the unit was completed. I asked the landlord about all the stains left in the kitchen, and their response was "it's only kitchen grease and if it goes into your body, there would be no health problem." I was very concerned about living there, so spoke with ServePro, an industrial hygienist and my renter's insurance adjuster. They all agreed it's a "category 3" black water backup and all high porous items (cabinets & carpets) exposed to the water should be removed, which the apartment management did not do. The industrial hygienist advised me not to move back in until the unit gets inspected by a professional. The landlord told me the case is closed and completed, so I decided to break the lease and move out by paying 2-month rent penalty. The apartment management never offered any apology, and Megan even told me this is like a "car accident" and I'd have to use my renter's insurance ($500 deductible) to cover my personal items got damaged. My vacuum and a pair of sunglasses have been lost since the incident. I tried to call Megan to ask about them but have never received a return call. I keep all the pictures I took since the day of the incident until I moved out, and I filed a complaint against the apartment management through Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services so that this would be on public record and I have been waiting on their response.

The Montecito has certainly upped it's game in the last 6 months or so. The former manager, Anthony, who was in fact terrible is now gone and they have great management. The concierges could not be more helpful and welcoming. It is noisy because you're next to the train track but a white noise machine solved our problems. They used to have a problem with with some safety concerns in the garage (minor theft) but have since contracted with a security third party who sits in the garage on nights and weekends monitoring the area. We used to walk to city place occasionally and when we wanted a decent walk (20 minutes or so) we used to walk down to the green market. Overall, we really loved it and it was a great first home for us!
