What We Found

Ashley and Derrick anchor a leasing team that reviewers repeatedly praise for answering every question without pressure and walking residents through applications with genuine care. Move-in stress drops noticeably when they lead the process, and maintenance typically responds quickly when called.

Yet these bright spots sit alongside persistent frustrations: elevators stay broken for over a year, gates open at will enabling car break-ins, hallways and stairwells collect trash and pests, and management tolerates Airbnb units despite lease violations. Peaceful living here depends on which staff member you land and how much chaos the current tenant roster creates.

Best for: Professionals who tour carefully and move in during quiet periods, when attentive staff can set a stable foundation.
Think twice if: Security-conscious renters or those sensitive to noise should think twice given recurring gate failures, pest issues, and Airbnb guest disruption.

How Residents Rate Management, Maintainance & More

Luxury & High-Rise Apartments

Common Questions About This Community

Is the leasing process really as smooth as reviews suggest?
For applicants working with Ashley or Derrick, yes. They answer every question, avoid pressure, handle Essential Housing paperwork clearly, and keep you updated. Other staff may differ.
What should I check on a tour?
Test the elevator (freight is 12+ months broken). Ask about gate repair timelines. Look at stairwells and hallways for cleanliness. Confirm which units allow Airbnb. These issues are documented across recent reviews.
How quickly does maintenance respond?
Several reviewers report swift service responses. One noted service requests handled swiftly; another confirmed maintenance shows up when called. No specific timeline given.

4.2(234)✓ Google-verified

A building that photographs well and leaves strong first impressions, but residents report years of unresolved mechanical failures, particularly air conditioning that management resists acknowledging. Staff turnover and communication gaps leave complaints unanswered for weeks, while security breaches and unmaintained amenities undermine the luxury positioning. Individual staff members like Mohammad, Thomas, Freddy, and select leasing agents do stand out, yet their efforts cannot offset systemic maintenance and management failures that persist across residents' tenancies. The 4.2-star average masks a stark divide: four in five reviews are five-star (often from tours), yet one in five are one-star from current and former residents documenting specific, recurring problems. A $3,000-plus-per-month rent and mandatory $75 amenity fees do not align with broken grills, defunct fireplaces, malfunctioning garage gates, thin walls, pet odors, and AC units that fail in summer heat.

Most residents report excellent upkeep and helpful staff, with Destiny, Katia, and Serita repeatedly noted for going above and beyond on leasing and problem-solving. A handful of visitors found the front desk dismissive or unprepared for tours, and one recent complaint flagged a broken gate left unfixed for a week.

1 Riva Row delivers luxury waterfront living backed by staff who treat each resident as a priority. Leasing agents Brooke, Kayla, and Taylor earn repeated praise for patience and follow-up; concierges John and AJ handle move-in with warmth. New construction means occasional defects and repair visits, but maintenance supervisor Felipe responds fast. The property shines with Bosch appliances, fourth-floor pool with waterway views, wine tastings, and a fitness studio. Those seeking attentive service and high finishes will find it here; early movers should expect a few weeks of installation fixes.
