TERRIBLE
One of the worst neighborhoods in the Bronx. Next to the highway so you constantly hear cars, constant vandalism and break-ins. Terrible parking situations. DO NOT MOVE.

Property Manager at River Hill Gardens responded to this review
Hi Tiel, We’re sorry to hear that you’ve not enjoyed your experience. There is a parking garage adjacent to the property should you need parking. We are surprised to hear of a break-in. If this ever happens, please notify our leasing office or… security of the situation.
