RIVER SPRINGS AT BARGE RANCH

Rivers Springs is nice looking. This is not a terrible place to live but it has some faults.
1. My first complaint when I moved in was, I was charged a monthly $5 pest control fee, but I constantly came home to dead crickets spread all throughout the staircases and breezeways. These dead creatures were never cleaned up and often remained for weeks without being moved by nothing more than the wind. But if you leave a trash bag in the breezeway for trash pickup the following morning, expect a fine… .
2. Each resident is also charged $25 monthly for waste disposal. There is always trash. After 3 days from trash pickup on Tuesday, expect to have to pile your trash on top.
3. If the concept of a gated community appeals to you, don’t expect it from this complex. There are gates at the entrances of the complex, but the gates are open more often than they are closed.
4. I am a military member. I thought that this residence would understand those circumstances due to its proximity to Fort Hood. My move out process was significantly more difficult and stressful than it ever should be.
5. This may be semantics, but my lady loves hot showers with strong water pressure. For my tenure at River Springs she got lukewarm rainwater showers and she made she I knew about it. I’m not nearly as particular but even I was disappointed with the water pressure. I submitted a maintenance request which resulted in being told it was normal. I then attempted to have normal water pressure be increased to no avail.

Ultimately all of these complaints plus other small issues caused me to realize that Texas is a home owning state. If you don’t want or can’t buy a home, most of the best rental properties don’t have a strong online presence. I wasn’t afforded the luxury of seeing the property before hand, but if you have the time find a better property than this. Read More
