Many memories of an innocent time, in a long ago chapter, with my fur-babies who have all since crossed the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge. I love you and miss you terribly Missy, Lucky, Venti, and Happy. My life is a shell of itself without you. You were the best of my life starting in June and July of 2000 with Missy and Lucky, October 2003 with Venti, 4th of July weekend 2004 with Happy and then ending on April 17th, 2023 when Happy went to be with his big sisters, Lucky who left on April 23, 2014, Missy who went to join her in September of 2017, and Venti who left on April 22, 2021. Happy and Ventis baby neice, (Chloe unexpectedly crossed over, at only one year of age on October 23, 2021) My heavy heart mourns all five every day. Now, I FULLY and acutely understand that everyone I know and have ever known, including myself, are on a path to death. I wish I could climb into this photo and be there in that moment and tell myself that nothing that was happening at that time was as important as being with my little babies and soaking up every minute, because life is just a minute and then it's gone. I live in a much better place now. A gorgeous huge property The Gateway Apartment Homes in Orange/Anaheim, with four pools and hot tubs, a coy pond, washer/dryer in the apartment, four full gyms, and EXTREMELY pet friendly, and several other beautiful features and amenities, but I would still give up luxury living to go back and live those years again. We lived in #242 and #280 from 2003-2012. Except for the manager and her daughter being coo-coo, vindictive, hypocrites, and liars, I was very happy even though there were some very unhappy moments. I would give anything to live in that photo forever.

Pretty Peaceful, we live on the hill away from the pool area; the pool is Well Kept & the rules are doable, the Gym is like new & clean, the people are lovely, friendly & helpful.
We have Good Neighbors & a Beautiful Neighborhood
Montrose a Walk Down To the town is great exercise.
The Manager’s Have All been extremely caring & they take care of business, if ever there is a concern. We’ve lived here for over 10yrs. After we lost our Home in the Syre Fires 🔥 Of Sylmar. It’s a Sweet Space To land & a Safe Place To rebuild our lives in.
We are Happy Here...in Montrose,Ca. for 40yrs.

Detrice, the manager is by far, the best manager I have ever been known of all the places I have lived in. She’s efficient, cares about your happiness, so easy to put in requests, she does not waste time fulfilling your maintenance requests, whatever it is, she gets right on to it! I also like the fact that she plans little get together events for all the neighbors to come together & get to know one another. Detrice and our handyman Jeff, they both deserve a 5-star!!!!!

I lived here for just over a year, from 2021 until 2022. I absolutely loved my stay here. Detrice, the property manager, to great care of me from start to finish. I felt safe, I loved my apartment and the grounds were kept up really well. Maintenance was fast and efficient with the couple of minor problems that did arise, for example, a clogged bathroom sink. Never had a major issue here. The only reason I left was because I relocated to another state. In my opinion, it’s one of the best complexes in the LA area and that’s largely thanks to Detrice!
As a tenant for over 10 years I am very comfortable and pleased with my apartment and the complex in general. I enjoy the diversity of ethnicities and cultures here. I also enjoy the grounds and the pool area. I have always felt safe in the Montrose community and I enjoy being part of our small community both in housing and in the town.

I have been living here since February 2021. So far, I am pretty happy with everything at Hillside apartments. The buildings are not new, but the management team ensures adequate maintenance to all common areas and the units. Detrice, the current manager, has been quite helpful in addressing any questions I have had. Among the minor gripes I have experienced are the relatively narrow parking spaces. My car fits, but it takes a bit of planning to park; the parking spots are covered by a roof, which is very nice. The walls are a bit thin (but this is more or less the norm as far as apartments go in the US), but I have never woken up due to the noise from my neighbors, nor can I hear their conversations unless they are shouting. The overall community is quiet and respectful of each other, and I haven't had any of my packages stolen. The gym has a nice set of machines and dumbbell weights, but I have only used it once since I moved here due to the pandemic. The pool area is quite nice. My unit is relatively close to the highway so that we can hear a bit of noise at night, but nothing that is too much to handle. In summary, after almost a year of renting I can say that I feel at home.
