River Forest

The location is quiet and landscaping well kept. The new property managers listen to concerns and act upon them if they're able too. The owners are a concern because plenty of residents have complained about the garbage issue at the compactor and it falls on deaf ears. They expect maintenance to clean it every week vs putting in dumpsters or looking for a resolution. Yes, you can smell pot when your outside sometimes, but the property managers are working on that.

Awful. Horrendous. Terrible. Do not move here!

- Walls / Ceiling made of paper - you can hear everything. Everything. The people above you can tiptoe and it’s the loudest thing you’ve ever heard.
- Dirty stairs, hallways
- If you wanna get high by just walking outside this is your place
- Work orders marked complete without doing them
- office staff is so oblivious and do not care
- Kitchen Drawers don’t open unless you open the oven door
- $120 extra fee per month for absolutely nothing... - should be against the law for this added fee on top of the overpriced crappy apartment
- The list goes on …

Do not waste your time and money.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you. You’ll regret it.
I cry every day being here. It is the worst. Life is miserable in this complex. Read More

This apartment community has horrible communication. We received approval and I was trying to get a move in date. I have left multiple messages and emails. Nobody will respond! I even had a friend to drive by the office but they were closed during business hours. It has been over a week! I have wasted time and money! Do not waste your time with this place. Very unprofessional

My daughter and I relocated here from Iowa/Wisconsin. We made an excellent choice by rent and living here.
The office and maintenance staff are som0lu fantastic. Management is always trying different ways to bring the community together and are always open to ideas. The Maintenance Engineers are on top of their game. Shortest time for a ticket resolution was 15 minutes. Longest was 24 hours. I would like to thank Jessica, John, Lisa, Janet, Ben & Melvin for making this experience an enjoyable... one. Read More

Please, Please disregard "All" of positive reviews, they are fake! I am almost certain they were written by the unprofessional, rude, disrespectful, uneducated staff. Notice they are anonymous. This place is the "absolute worst", unkept and filthy, like the staffs attitude. Just take a ride on the grounds, trash is constantly overflowing and piled up high. The odor from trash compactor causes you to almost loss the meal you consumed prior to approaching. The rate listed does not include, water... sewage, trash and yes, you are billed monthly for all listed as well as exterminator. The maintenance staff never repair anything and they hate to be needed, although, it's their job. Run and fast! If you rent with River Forest Apartments you will regret it! I actually wanted to rate the community and the staff -0, but 1 star was the lowest. Read More
