Monticello Apartments

Great ward and very close to BYU campus. Also not too expensive, especially for the location. The office staff were always nice and tried to be helpful. Overall living here is pretty good, but there is one major frustration. To start, I fully recognize that the policy I outline here is stated in the lease and is legal, but it is deeply unethical. If you sell your contract and move out early, you forfeit your security deposit and are charged a "transfer fee," which is 85% of your monthly rent. My wife and I each lost $700 as a result of this policy, which is a significant burden for a newly married couple. Given how frequently residents here get married or move out because of other life changes, you would think that apartment management would have thought about this. Furthermore, Montice

The place itself isn't bad, great ward, super close to campus, and rent itself isn't particularly expensive. I also want to add that low level management is great. Super nice, good communication, I particularly enjoy Gigi's Waffle Wednesdays every week. Honestly, I would have moved a while ago if it wasn't for these aspects. But the quality of the dorms varies from dorm to dorm, so its a bit of a gamble. Generally, the dorms aren't in tip top shape, holes in ceiling, missing plug and light switch covers, and various discolorations. There are also A LOT of hidden fees every step of the way. Signing fees for every party involved, transfer fees, very strict cleaning fees, etc. Also, the pool is closed most of year btw.

I’ve enjoyed my time here because the people are fantastic! The residents are all very kind and friendly, and Gigi and the others in the office always do their best to help. My main complaint is that Redstone management is very inefficient and reluctant to approve repairs and get work done, which can lead to major inconveniences (and can occasionally be hazardous). Otherwise, Monticello is a good place to live—especially because the location is great for BYU students, and for those without a car.

The apartment has a lot of storage space which is really nice, and its conveniently located right across from campus. Gigi is pretty cool and I enjoy getting free waffles every Wednesday. Only downside I'd say is the monthly cleaning checks can be pretty stressful.

Decent place. Kinda expensive but really close to BYU. My apartment isn't bad but it definitely is a little run down. Maintenance is quick for anything they can fix. But if they have the contract it out it takes absolutely ages. Local management is really cool. But the complex is managed by Redstone so that's a negative. And I heard that causing issues for the other residents. I have only had one cleaning check so far and we passed but I wasn't home when they came. Laundry is crazy expensive. Also heads up. They have been incentivizing people to leave reviews on Google maps. So take that into account when reading through them and looking at the rating.
