Riverview Lofts

The place stinks because the animals pee all over the place, especially the elevators. The walls are super thin you hear everything. Management sucks they are mean and nasty. Parking is horrendous they call the tow truck on you every chance they get. The washing machine was molded when I moved in, and the dishwasher half-washes. But the main two issues are how bad the building stinks and how thin the walls are, and I mean you hear everything!!!!

Save all your paperwork and proof of payment. They are calling my sons deposit a holding fee and not giving him back his money

Pros:
Friendly Residents
Decently priced? Maybe for it being downtown only
Mostly updated apartments and kitchens
Water included
In-unit washer and dryer
Maintenance responds pretty swiftly

Cons:
When you walk in the front doors most of the time it does stink
The internet they "provide" is no bueno, and when you try to get your own, the cables they had previously set up will not work
Some of the apartments I had toured, the ones with wood floors had
air bubbles and did smell of mold and... dusty, I would not recommend those.
When I moved in the A/C was not working and the washer smelled like mold, they "fixed" the A/C only for it to go out every other day, and for my apartment to reach 80 degrees in the summer, and did not offer any type of money off rent and it still is an issue. They gave me a cleaning agent for the washing machine, but it did not work and washer is still moldy probably due to it sitting so long before I moved in.
The walls are so thin you can hear peoples alarm clocks, their dogs, or them washing dishes, it does echo in the hallways as well.
Also had to clean the apartment when I moved in, dust was everywhere and the floors were pretty nasty, whoever panted spilled paint and tried to clean it up but missed most of it.
Parking is horrendous sometimes due to having to share a parking garage with the hospital patients and if you need another parking spot? 110$ (crazy amount)
If you do venture outside, watch where you step because nobody picks up their dog doodoo.
The "bedroom" wall is built slanted, meaning when you put your bed there, your frame will not fit against the wall Read More

Lived here for 4 years, can't wait to leave. Slow internet, thin walls, terrible management. Parking is extra, and they'll tow your car. My bike was stolen, and they didn't do anything. They also locked us out of our apartment and we had to call at locksmith St 9pm. Looks nice, but it's a trap. Avoid.

From day one these loft style apaprtments have been the best place I've ever lived. It includes WiFi, Directv, 1 television, water, gym, pool, and parking. Riverview Loft is like a small community. At least once a month there is an event of some kind at the loft. The location is also great! Right in downtown Norfolk, 1 block from the hospital, 1 block from public train station that runs throughout Norfolk.
