Advenir At Monterrey

I recommended the apartments to a friend of mine because I live here and I think it’s a wonderful
live, they told me the reviews online were horrible I was shocked! I moved here from Bergen County New Jersey and my standards are extremely high! If you come to live at Advenir Monterey you will be so happy. My apartment is well appointed, the grounds are spotless, both pools are fabulous including the hot tub. I have never gone in the office and not been treated with anything but respect and kindness, the manager Suzanne is so helpful, any service issue I’ve ever had and albeit its only been 3 they are johnny on the spot with fixing things. I’ve never seen an ant in my apartment let alone a roach or a rat. I do know that since Advenir took over they are no longer accepting section 8 and not renewing leases, so maybe these are the people who aren’t hard working and pay the rent with their own money that are being kicked out when their leases are up that are complaining and leaving dishonest reviews. ALL of my neighbors and people I know who live here love living here, but we all work, pay our rent on time and are above board citizens… this is a beautiful place to live! PS 10 minutes from the beach too!

Rent somewhere else besides this place! The management company that runs this place is horrible and will tell you things and never make good on it. Get EVERYTHING in writing because if you don’t, they will not do anything they promise. The will ask you «Did you get it in writing». Problems range from lazy Service Managers (Deon and Bald Mike Kojak) to Management in the office. The English bitch Susan is nasty to everyone. The only 2 good maintenance guys left. Now you are stuck with the lazy ones that drive around on golf carts and hide out back by the maintenance building by building 7 smoking cigarettes all day. They don’t know how to repair things. It takes 2 of them to go on a call when they do finally go. If they don’t like you, good luck getting repairs done, they will dodge you every chance they get. They hire subcontractors for painting and cleaning. The painters paint over mold and they do not treat it to get rid of it, they cover it up!!! Advenir at Monterrey’s slogan should be «We got you all fooled and don’t care about your health». The pest control company is a joke. Check the bait boxes around the property, they don’t even have bait in them to bait the rats. YES RATS! Buildings 9, 10 and 11 are referred to as «The Ghetto». There was an apartment with a pig living on the lanai and they didn’t care. Rats, bats (Yes building 13 is loaded with them) they don’t treat the problems, they ignore them. Outdoor kitchen and clubhouse? Yeah they have been saying since they took over, it’s coming. Almost 1 year later and no outdoor kitchen and clubhouse. There was poop in the pool this past summer a few times. They shut the pool down and only treated it with chlorine. The health department has shut it down, but they don’t want you knowing they were there and that was why it was shut down. The hot tub was also shut down because of too high chlorine which is a health risk. There is always something floating in the hot tub. There have been turtles and snakes found in it too, along with food and food wrappers.
Drive around after a weekend and see how the trash areas look. Furniture, garbage and everything in between! Since the guy that did the grounds left, those 2 lazy jokers now have to do it. The place is going down hill fast! Oh and the microwaves they are going to install? Guess what?! They are suppose to be done by a licensed electrician. Don’t believe it? Call the County of Sarasota building codes officer. He is aware now of their practices. Speaking of Code enforcement, look up on Sarasota County Code Violations, type in Advenir at Monterrey and see what they have been fined for. And it isn’t over! Your fire detectors? Yeah violations for that too. The word SLUMLORD comes to mind with Advenir. Want to hear more about this company? Look up what past employees and residents say. From Florida to Colorado! They all speak the truth when it comes to this dump. The air conditioners that were replaced? Yup you guessed it, no permit to do the work, violation from the county on that too. They don’t change out the padding when replacing carpet. The flooring is laminated vinyl with the wood «look». They advertise wood floors? Yeah, NO! Refrigerator handles break like crazy because all of their appliances are cheap.
Do yourself a favor, don’t rent here, don’t renew your lease. This place was nice and the people were great until Advenir took over. If you want drugs, rats, bats, mold, nasty pools and an attitude, then Advenir is the place for you! Oh and all the photos on their website have been photoshopped. This place has never looked like the pictures. The red flowers?! LOL The pool furniture?!! Again, LOL

STAY FAR FAR AWAY! If I could have given this place ZERO stars, I would have. New management company is horrible; the place is constantly littered with trash and dog waste, and the pools are rarely clean. I wouldn’t venture into their hot tub, even if you paid me, for fear of what I may catch! The people in the office are rude, and maintenance issues go unresolved for endless amounts of time. I always see the two maintenance men, the one with brown hair and the bald one, driving around aimlessly on their golf carts! Hello! I have maintenance orders from WEEKS ago that still haven’t been taken care of!
You will be severely over charged to live in an old building with mold (VISIBLE MOLD which the people in the office are FULLY aware of, yet do nothing to get rid of it!) and pests, which the pest control people can never seem to handle. And I’m not just talking about little flies or ants; i am talking about rats that end up dying in your walls and stinking up your entire apartment! The «upgrades» that were offered to me were a joke; why would I pay hundreds more each month to live in the same dump, just with newer appliances? That’s like throwing brand new tires on a 1985 Volkswagen and jacking up the selling price! It’s absolute lunacy.
There are plenty of other amazing places in Venice that you can decide to live in; for the sake of your happiness, health, sanity, and wallet, please do not rent from this apartment complex… You will regret it once you are locked into a lease that lasts over a year!

Do you like paying more for less square footage, less quality and even less customer service? Then this is the place for you! After being bought by Advenir about 8 months ago the only part of this apartment complex that is still decent is the maintenance staff. Advenir decided to plant a few palm trees and now thinks that their apartments are worth 100 dollars more per month despite nothing about the actual apartments being changed or updated. When you add in that the front office staff treats you as if you are a nuisance whenever you walk in the door, I cannot think of a worse place to live. Do yourself a favor, save your money and your patience and don’t bother coming here.

New management, many promises, no results. The property is not well maintained, pot holes in the parking lot that was just repaired, new rain gutters installed have washed out the ground under the downspouts, promises of new appliances, have not seen them yet. I would not recommend Advenir, not worth the high market rent they are charging.

I would not yes not move here. They never clean the laundry facility always dirty full of cobwebs. The sprinklers do not work. Thank goodness for rain. The maintance wife will curse at you. The do not have a great attitude. They are way over priced. I can not wait for my lease is up. I’m outa here.
Not a good place to live. Used to be not anymore
