Riverbend at Port Imperial Apartments

I have mixed feelings about my experience thus far at Riverbend apartments. I love the neighborhood and front desk and maintenance staff. But, my apartment has had so many issues to contend with, since I moved in. The complex is NOT a luxury building and most units are outdated and overpriced. But, there has been one maintenance staff that has always stood out from the rest and his name is Adalberto(Berto). When I moved to Riverbend my apartment had an unacceptable amount of issues which have... now allowed me to completely settle into my unit. However, Berto has helped make this stressful time more bearable. He’s warm nature and aptitude for doing things right and not taking short cuts definitely got my attention, respect and appreciation. Berto is one of the best things the complex has to offer.

The public garage to the south of this apartment building turns into a nightly meeting spot for racing cars. The noise is unbearable, with loud engines revving and cars speeding around until late at night. It’s become a huge source of noise pollution, affecting the surrounding area and making it difficult to sleep or enjoy any peace. The garage seems unmonitored at night, which poses a safety concern as well. If you’re looking for a quiet and safe spot, I recommend looking elsewhere until this... problem is resolved. Read More

No hot water for almost 2 weeks. Received a credit for less than 3 days. Multiple misrepresentations. No AC in the hallways. Terrible maintenance and staff. Old run down overpriced building. Just terrible overall. Do not rent here you’ll regret it.

Moved in last year, paid quite some for moving. My plan was to stay here at least few years. Unfortunately management never told me that they plan to hike the rent for astronomical 30% this year. If I knew this I would have never signed the lease. Even if I would somehow agreed to this hike, from a management as this I can expect next year another 30%. That is beyond greed and the sad part is that this building and their apartment has NOTHING whatsoever to do with LUXURY. It is an average... building with horrible amenities. Gym which is one room with 5 - 6 outdated machines, bathtubs painted so many times that after 2 month it started to peel, extra small kitchen in ‘2 bedroom’ apartment….nothing luxurious except the new price….even old one was not cheap. For that money you have many better places to shop se from. And one more thing…. So called view of the city they are so up charging for will be soon old news…..new building is rising in front of this building 25 Ave at Port Imperial and the only view you will have is someone’s living room or even worse….garage. I am angry as hell, 30% hike on the rent is beyond acceptable…..and the worse thing is……I can’t trust them anymore….who says next renewal will not be 40% or even 50%……NJ does not have rent control and it is only in favor to corporations.
