Chateau on the River Apartments

TLDR Review: These apartments are gross and if you have other options you should live elsewhere. Look at the other apartment complexes on this street.

The only positive thing I can say about my experience at Chateau is that during the 2021 major ice storm I never lost power. However, that was the case for the whole street.

Long Review:

-This is one of those apartments that coats everything in layers of white paint. I found numerous hairs painted into my apartment.
-It also costs a fortune… to heat and cool these units. The west facing units are the worst during the summer. The windows are very old and hemorrhage energy. I used window films and blackout curtains and still paid so much money in energy costs.
- Because of all of the paint layers the apartments are very high in VOCs. I had to buy oddly shaped, expensive Filtrete filters for the AC and also for the two air purifiers I ran 24/7. I easily spent over $500 on air filters living here.
- The nice floors they show in the pictures online are actually wood look linoleum. I thought they were wood tiles at first until the whole sheet started peeling up in my unit.
- The walls are paper thin. You will hear any of your neighbors turn on their showers.
- My car was broken into twice while I lived here. There were also numerous domestic disputes. Read More

I’ve lived here for 5 years. The original ownership company was small with a reliable, friendly maintenance team and rent was affordable. You got what you paid for. Now it’s gone through 2 different management companies, “renovations”, name change and rebranding all so rent can be hiked up. If I was renewing my current lease, my rent would be about $400 more than what it was in 2017 - just for a fresh coat of paint and new light fixtures. New maintenance team responds quickly, leasing office… staff responds to emails and requests but it’s not always friendly or professional. Lately neighbors have been loud or have people over yelling and banging on their door. It’s not what it used to be and definitely isn’t worth the rent increase. Read More

Read the lease carefully. This was an expensive and terrible experience for my daughters first apartment. The move out cost is way more than the move in. You have to give 60 days written notice before your lease is up or it automatically goes to month to month. I tried calling to give the notice for over a week. Finally gave the notice by phone, then found out it has to be given on the form they provide.

Ever since the new management took over its horrible!! Took over a month for a maintenance request to be taken seriously. They charge you for renters insurance even if you provide that you already have it. No one is ever in the office. I have a friend who lives here as well and their problem hasn’t been fixed in three months! Thin walls, I can hear my neighbors having their intimate times. Bugs everywhere. Never any parking near your apartment. Rent increase is astronomical. When this lease is… done I’m out!! Read More
