1 year stay I am a doctor and worked at Rush university medical center for my fellowship for a year contract. I had an excellent time here. I lived close to everything, close to the hospital and the customer service was incredible. One day there was rising water quickly in my sink on a Saturday and they were there within 30 minutes. They also replaced my dryer and microwave within a day. This is a great place to live and they care about their tenants. I have no complaints

Maintenance is always a 5! The maintenance team at River City is one of the best I have ever seen. I have worked in Property Management so I’m a bit judgy. For the record, yes the maintenance team is one of the primary reasons I will be renewing my lease.
