What We Found

Residents praise leasing staff, especially Vanessa and property manager Judy, for making the move-in process smooth and handling requests promptly. The location, views, and recent renovations earn consistent appreciation. However, one long-term resident documented serious problems: mold spread onto belongings, roaches in sticky traps, separating baseboards, a vehicle stolen after a broken gate allowed entry, elevator outages in Building 2, and unresponsive management during disputes over deposit withholding and damage charges.

The split reflects a property in transition. Most recent reviews highlight improvements under Judy's management and staff excellence at the front office. The older severe complaint raises red flags about maintenance standards and security that deserve scrutiny, especially for Building 2 residents and those concerned with pest control responsiveness.

Best for: Professionals seeking Midtown location, responsive leasing support, and amenities; tenants value staff attention.

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.
