Rivertop

Biggest con - lack of noise reduction. It's no ones fault, but these floors are paper thin. I pay extra for a third story with the best view ( the views are amazing) and face constant nagging from my below neighbors about my noise when I am just living my life in my apartment. I don't have kids, I have people over maybe once every two months on the weekends... its ridiculous. They agreed that the people before me also output noise. I try and be considered but having anxiety about day to day... living in my home is annoying.

The tar smell and car break-ins are other cons. The washing machines are loud and the ovens dont stay hot.

Otherwise I enjoy living here, the apartments are beautiful. Read More

Terrible management and very unresponsive. Tons of car break ins and management does nothing!!! We are actually thinking about breaking our lease because it’s such a terrible place. DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!

These apartments have beautiful views, but that's it. Don't be fooled. These apartments are NOT worth the insane prices they are charging when you could live downtown for the same (or even less) rent. There are a number of issues within the unitis/community.
1) Residents are RUDE. Multiple residents let their dogs run off leash in the parking lot, during the day and at night when it's dark. No matter how many emails management sends, residents do not care and allow their dogs to dart infront of... cars. This is especially bad at building 7. When I was walking my dogs (on leash) a neighbors dog ran up to them, pinned them to the ground and was growling while my dogs stayed calm and quiet and the owner did nothing but stare at me the entire time.
2) BUGS. EVERYWHERE. The apartments are in the woods, so some bugs are to be expected. But it's so bad, we can't even enjoy our balcony. There is a pest control fee added to rent, but clearly it's just a way to take more money because they never do anything about bugs. Dead ladybugs fill light fixtures, and if you have a ground level apartment, be ready for millipedes everywhere! Curled up on the floor, crawling out of vents, on the walls, the ceilings, coming in through the doors.
3) Paper thin walls. You'll hear everything your neighbors do and anytime someone is outside you can hear their convos.
4) the pool is closed on Mondays for "cleaning" but is never being cleaned all day....it's just kind of frustrating considering what they charge for rent.
5) It's a "gated" community, but the gates never work. The exit gate has been open for months on end so there really is no security.

Luckily, our lease is ending in a few weeks and we are getting out of here. There are so many other complexes in better parts of town!!! Don't be fooled by Rivertop.

The views and amenities make this property attractive and a great place to live. However, the craftsmanship of the apartment is shotty at best with very minimal noise reduction between floors. I can hear every step and every bit of music that my neighbors make/listen to. But the real cherry on top is management's continuous lack of response to calls or emails in regards to service requests or community complaints. I've lived here for 2 months and have been less than impressed overall.

Rivertop has great views and that's about all that's great about this apartment! Initially when I moved here a year ago my apartment was not completed upon arrival and after weeks of postponing my move into my original apartment, I decided to stay in the temp apartment I was placed in. PARKING IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE!!! If you arrive after 8pm, you generally will not have a spot and will have to park on the hill or other areas which will result in a ticket. The apartment has no resolution to... this parking issue. However, the tenants have to pay for tickets, which makes absolutely no sense. Guest parking for buildings 1,2,3 are located by the mailroom which is not only a safety issue; but also, is extremely irrational! The gate was promised to work for us all year but has recently just stated to work. When the winter comes expect TONS of ladybugs. The only resolutions that was given to us by management was that there was nothing that can be done. Not just that, all the dead ladybugs collect in the light fixtures. My apartment along with other apartments had opening under the doors (entrance and patio) which would lead to flooding in the living room, kitchen, and dining area. When this was reported, management promised to get back to me on the issue but absolutely nothing was resolved. In my own opinion, Rivertop had such a great potential but was built in a haste and the actual development was not well thought out. As a result, the current management has a lot of issues they have to deal with and the way in which they handle situations are not the best. Read More
