What We Found

Tenants split sharply: some praise the leasing team and gated grounds, while many report months-long maintenance failures, pest infestations, and frustration with tacked-on fees. One resident endured three months without AC in Texas heat; another's roach and rat problem went unaddressed for weeks. Staff like Andrea and Mercy earn genuine respect for their courtesy, but the gap between the polished front office and actual unit conditions troubles residents.

The property charges substantial add-on fees (gym, lock, amenity) on top of rent, yet grounds maintenance lags: potholes, dirty pool, peeling paint in units. Building 1 noise complaints are persistent and unresolved despite management awareness. Security is a flashpoint too-car theft and towing enforcement outpace resident support when repairs are needed.

Praised for
  • friendly and helpful staff (Andrea, Mercy, Kelvin)
  • clean common areas and valet trash service
  • responsive maintenance when available
  • safe gated community with secure parking
Watch-outs
  • severe maintenance delays (AC, hot water, pest control)
  • excessive hidden fees beyond rent
  • pest problems (roaches, rats) due to poor upkeep
  • unresponsive or dismissive management and slow repairs
  • safety concerns (car theft, inadequate security)
  • noisy units, especially building 1
responsive-managementmaintenance-delaysnoisy-neighborsfriendly-staffunresponsive-officehidden-feesclean-facilitiespest-issuessecure-parking
Best for: First-time renters seeking location and polished leasing experience, not chronic DIYers.
Think twice if: Maintenance delays and pest issues are deal-breakers; avoid building 1 for quiet; budget-conscious renters frustrated by $200+ in monthly add-on fees.

How Residents Rate Management, Maintainance & More

Luxury & High-Rise Apartments
Polished lobbies and leasing experience undercut by pest infestations, unit deterioration, and long maintenance backlogs that contradict luxury standards.

Common Questions About This Community

What happens if maintenance takes months to complete (like AC repair)?
Residents report AC out for 3 months with only a window unit provided. Management tells tenants to call the cops on noise violations or hire their own contractors if urgent.
Are pets allowed?
Yes. One-time animal fee is $400, plus $25 per month. Website lists these fees.
What fees should I budget beyond the stated rent?
Residents report $65/month gym, $65/month lock fee, and additional $40 and $35 fees (purpose unclear from reviews), totaling roughly $200+ monthly add-ons to base rent.

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

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.
