  • WATCHOUT

    January 3, 2024
    Had a car stolen from this gated community and the management has done absolutely nothing to help. They will not show us security footage or even respond. Please beware this place looks great but really is not. If you like your car please stay away

  • Looking for a cozy environment and super big apartments?

    February 22, 2023
    This is probably the place for you. The price definitely fits the amenities, and I've loved living here for the last 2 years, and I can't wait to stay for another. All the residents are super friendly and keep a lively vibe. The summers here are super fun, especially when I have guests over for a cookout by the pool. Also the staff gave me an air fryer for free as a giveaway. Love it!

  • Bug Infested

    May 30, 2018
    The management here is terrible. I found bugs in my apartment and reported them like I was supposed to. They refused to relocate my roommate and I even though the things were biting me. I also had to identify the mites myself at school under the microscope (I’m a vet student) because the pest control people they hired assumed they were bed bugs and I wasn’t convinced. They additionally tried to blame me for the infestation and told me that the pest control people had more experience and were more ...
    credible even though I confirmed with a board certified parasitologist. They refused to relocate us to another property and refused to reimburse me for my prepaid rent even though the place was uninhabitable. I had to pay out of pocket to stay in a hotel and for antibiotics so that I didn’t get any diseases from the mites.

      June 5, 2018
      We sincerely regret that your experience has been anything less than positive with us. We did have two separate exterminators check the unit, Arrow and Terminex. One of which treated the unit, as well as stated that there was no evidence of any infestation after treatment. Thank you for your feedback!Best,The Villas at Riverbend Apartments
