Villa Monair

Great place! Great staff! Great location! If you're intrested in a new spot I would highly recommend checking this place out!

We lived here for 3 years and enjoyed Villa Monair. Great location, and good price considering other apartments in the area. It is a very central location; a few minutes to pacific beach and 15 min from most other attractions. Neighbors were very respectful and rarely heard them. The only issues we had were bugs certain times of the year and some plumbing issues. Management was quick to address these issues. The only reason we left is we ended up moving out of state. Overall, would recommend!

I don't know why this place is only 2.7/5... It is definitely a step up from our previous apartment location, and deserves a better rating.

The positives: Friendly small dog community, excellent location, cleanliness, the apartment itself is very private meaning you won't hear your neighbors very often, a good amount of living space, parking isn't too bad at all, and it's overall a great living experience!

The downside: There is a TON of construction on Balboa right now (June, 2017) and it's all throughout the night. Just close your window and you'll be fine. There are AC units so you'll be okay. The shower can go from scorching hot to uncomfortably cold. So if you love to contribute to California's shortage of water and take extremely long showers, then beware. But I really don't mind because it's not every time I shower. There have been a few new neighbors who love to party on the weekends, but for the most part, this community is quiet and not much of a party location.

I wish I could stay longer and extend my lease because Villa Monair is a great place to call home.
