Neighborhood

Buffalo’s Forest neighborhood is a large community on the Niagara River, about ten minutes north of Downtown. Charming homes and historic buildings dominate the landscape, with a few small cafes and bars providing popular hangouts for the locals.

For more diverse fare, Elmwood Avenue features a terrific selection of restaurants and coffeehouses and the Elmwood Plaza shopping center is just a few minutes to the north. SUNY Buffalo State sits on the northeast side of the community, making it an excellent location for students, faculty, and staff to find housing.

The neighborhood is only a few blocks north of the Peace Bridge to Canada, and a day trip to Unity Island provides great views across the border to Fort Erie.

I could’ve had a better overall experience living at Monarch 716. While the location is convenient for students, the management and maintenance leave a lot to be desired. Communication is often slow or unhelpful, and maintenance requests can take weeks to be addressed—if they’re addressed at all. Noise can be a serious issue, and cleanliness in common areas is inconsistent. The apartment itself had potential, but poor upkeep and lack of accountability from the leasing office really took away from the experience. If you’re in a tight spot and have no other options, it’ll do—but I wouldn’t recommend it unless it’s your last resort. For the price, you’d expect better service and overall quality. Definitely do your research before signing a lease here. You might find something better for your money elsewhere.

I was promised a gift card for renewing my lease, which i renewed this summer. It was promised at “the end of October”. It’s now December 15th, and last I checked, there was some “in progress” work for it, while I had new “renew your lease!” signs put on my door. When I last asked about the gift card I was treated like I shouldn’t have asked in the first place, instead of admitting that there was a problem. There has been a large hole in the hallway wall for over a year, it continues to get bigger. Yesterday the fire alarm went off in the building for no emergency for several hours before anyone shut it off. Our dryer stopped getting enough heat but maintenance takes forever to fix things. Something happens here every day so it takes a lot of effort to focus on the good. It’s warm.

Here’s a concise review draft: staircase maintenance could use more attention. It would be beneficial to have it cleaned on a weekly basis, as there is often garbage scattered throughout the stairs. Regular upkeep would greatly enhance the cleanliness and safety for everyone who uses them.

Then the door to the entrance of the building does not lock. I did get matiance to change my door but the entence door building is still unlocked.

This company forced me to get WiFi because they refused to fix it for over a year as it has not been functioning and I have complained many times to no affect. They tell me “it’s not our problem” and for me to contact the service provider. I’ve been on the phone with said service provider for a total of about 10 hours the past year or so, to no affect. The management is extremely rude and manipulative. They told me I needed to move “this week” for “renovations”, then when I said I’m not willing to risk to move into another more broken apartment, they were dismissive to an aggressive degree. After trying to illegally move me, they moved in another roommate the day after with no notice. They don’t care about their residents feelings and I have seen poop stay in the hallways for weeks at a time, and the maintenance team will just look at it and close out the request. A/C is also been broken for over a year. Only thing giving it a one star is they hire security

My monarch experience was simple. However it did take some time for the process to be finalized. I also felt I wasn’t being updated enough. Although I had these few discrepancies I believe it was a easy and simple process.

Overall, I enjoy living in this complex and am pleased with my unit and experience. However, I am concerned about occasional issues with the building's cleanliness, such as unpleasant odors, sticky floors, and trash left on the ground, as well as the air conditioning problems. Addressing these concerns would greatly enhance my satisfaction with the community.

Overall a positive experience. There were obviously some issues which I’ve mentioned in other reviews but they were handled quickly for the most part. Biggest complaint I can say was that I found out my randomly assigned roommate was moving in an hour before she showed up.

Buildings are DISGUSTING. They close the main building early all the time . Gym is not available around the clock as stated in the site. Shuttle service is unreliable at times. Matinence crew takes days or months to come sometimes . They don’t clean the floors. Broken glass windows in my building have not been repaired in MONTHS.

No. Just No

They never help! There was blue mold in two of the four rooms. After telling them about it they did nothing till a few months later when I bugged them again about it. I have pics. This is such a stupid and disgusting place. Plus the roommates are anyone. They touch my stuff and the price is ridiculous for the rooms. They don’t even tell you what they are charging you. They say gas and electric but never show how much you actually used.

RUN NOW DON'T DO IT

I wish I could give 0 stars because this is a SCAM!!! Trust me do not do it!!! The 6 months I lived here were complete Hell I was so happy to get out!!! First, the management changes every few months because it's all a scam. They tell you one price and when you go to sign your lease it's completely different. Then they add additional charges each month for made up overages...I was never home and every month there was an overage for electricity etc. The walls are paper thin you can be in your room and hear your roommate cough from their room, the front desk people never know what they're doing so you can never get help, there's 2 flight of stairs for each floor with no elevator like I wish I could go on

It’s all a scam

I signed a lease for a 2-bedroom apartment the entire time I communicated with a girl named Jennifer who at the time seemed very knowledgeable and informative. After I signed the lease I wanted to pay my first month and security deposit. Monarch staff acted like they didn't even know I applied until I told them I signed a lease agreement. After constantly being put on hold they told me they had no more 2-bedrooms available and would I be willing to move into a 4-bedroom. If I wanted to move into a 4-bedroom I would've signed for a 4-bedroom not a 2-bedroom. The staff just don't care I got that vibe soon as I brought this issue to their attention. I do not recommend anyone applying here oh and I forgot they love to say they'll call you back and never call back.
