What We Found

Modera Washington draws residents for its modern layout and amenities, but recent management changes have coincided with a sharp decline in habitability and upkeep. Multiple tenants report weeks-long hot water outages, elevators down for months, and garage gates left open for days, enabling car break-ins and trespassing. Mold, roaches, and dog waste in hallways persist despite complaints. While maintenance worker Jose earns consistent praise, the front office cycles through staff, denies refunds for documented health hazards, and pursues aggressive collection tactics on security deposits. Long-term residents describe the experience as no longer matching the luxury price point.

The building's structural vulnerabilities compound management shortfalls: a single elevator per end of the building fails after storms, and hot water systems reset after outages, leaving units without service for days. A newly opened bar next door has added noise and parking chaos. Prospective tenants should review recent reviews carefully and document all unit issues immediately upon move-in, as management disputes claims made after the fact.

How Residents Rate Management, Maintainance & More

Luxury & High-Rise Apartments
Modern design and high-end finishes praised, but infrastructure failures (elevators, hot water, security gates) and cleanliness decline undermine luxury positioning and justify complaints of overpricing

Guest parking is available by permit 6 PM-8 AM, but signage is confusing and enforcement strict; one resident's car was towed despite holding an active guest permit.

Packages can be routed to the Fetch service, which significantly reduces theft; packages sent to the building address may be placed unsecured.

Yes, pets are pet-friendly. Costs include a $30 pet profile fee per household, $300 one-time pet fee per pet, $300 pet deposit per pet, and $25 monthly pet rent per pet.

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.
