    im sorry, but i will never recommend someone to live here. im completely appalled on how the first management team handled my first 6 months of living here, although new management seems nicer… there needs to be more communication, understanding, and speediness. they like to dismiss problems and come up with their own ideas of what is happening in your apartment and not be urgent

    Worst decision to move here. It’s basically lipstick on a pig. Advertised as “luxury living” but it’s anything but. Roaches everywhere, stairs and hallways are disgusting, pools are never cleaned, maintenance requests take 5+ days to get answered even if it’s high priority, tons of bike thefts and car break ins. Leasing is a revolving door of managers. It’s a nightmare.

    Riverside is a fantastic upgraded apartment community next so so many things, rents a bit high but this place makes me really happy to be a resident at. The kitchen is one of the nicest I have seen within this price point with under cabinet lighting and a great backsplash, straight up awesome. Learning to live in a studio size place but it’s cozy. No bugs in my upgraded unit. Thanks Riverside and Greystar

    I've been at Riverside for a year and a half and I hardly have any complaints. Roaches got really bad for a season but they brought in a new Pest Control company that knocked that out. Maintenance is generally quick to respond which is nice. The neighborhood is diverse and not often loud (besides the planes from living by the airport). Staff is quick to respond too and attentive. I like Riverside! And I didn't feel a dip in that attentiveness when management changed.
