The Monterey Garden 150 West 3rd Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94402

"I've lived here for almost two years. I reluctantly signed the second year lease but moving is expensive and time consuming so I did it. I won't be doing it again. These apartments are extremely overpriced and they will raise the rent each time you sign. They have 18 units and two communal washers and two driers that are always filthy and broken. The turnover rate for the managers here is high so they are not very helpful. They sent an email around asking how many people are living in each unit and what parking spot belonged to you. Unbelievably unorganized. Things don't get fixed half the time and when they do, it is done half assed. I keep getting blocked in my parking spot by other tenants and the management does nothing. Another thing they don't tell you is you have no control over the heat, it is on or off, you control it by opening your windows. If you are looking for an apartment, don't pick these."
