The Monarch

We only been living here for a week, so far so good. The only problem I have is that the shower in the primary room does not stay hot for long. And a good amount of our wall outlets do not work!

I have lived here for 2 years and so far it has been great. People are nice and the place is fairly clean. The gym equipment got a nice upgrade and the grills in the courtyard are cleaned daily which is convenient! Overall, it’s been a good experience.

Maintenance and front staff is great. Wish we had more winter events in the building. Summer is nice because they bring food trucks. I feel safe living here. The traffic can get annoying especially during events at Metlife but otherwise not a bad place to live.

I have been a resident at The Monarch for nearly 3 years. During this time, I always paid my rent on time and complied with all community rules. However, my experience during the move-out process has been extremely disappointing and unprofessional.

Due to a work relocation, I had to move out of state. Despite providing 2 months' notice and fully vacating the apartment in mid-November 2025, I am still being forced to pay full rent for an empty unit because my lease runs until April 2026. While I... understand lease obligations, the management's lack of effort to re-rent the unit is alarming.

While I am paying for my vacant unit, I see on their website that they are listing other similar units in the building for lower prices than mine. This makes it impossible for my unit to be re-rented, effectively forcing me to keep paying indefinitely. They claim demand is low, yet advertise "Last Unit Left" to attract new people.

Even though I have vacated the property and returned my keys and transponders, they continue to charge me for "Additional Rent" items like the second parking space and amenity fees. I am paying for a gym and a parking spot I cannot physically access.

Management has shown zero willingness to negotiate or offer a reasonable buyout option that doesn't involve excessive penalties, unlike standard practices in other luxury communities.

I strongly advise prospective tenants to review the lease terms carefully, especially regarding early termination and job relocation clauses. Once you sign, do not expect any cooperation or goodwill from management if your life circumstances change. Read More

Good support during move-in. Only hiccup was my gate/garage opener wasn't properly programmed. Otherwise, very professional support by all team members. Well done!
