What We Found

Strong individual staff standouts-Diana, Ana, and Miguel-earn high marks for responsiveness and professionalism. But management communication fails when it matters most: AC units break repeatedly (sometimes for weeks), mold lingers unchecked, and residents report difficulty reaching the office, unclear fee structures, and deposit issues. Close proximity to the medical center and metro rail is a genuine draw, yet recurring infrastructure problems and administrative frustration undercut the property's luxury positioning.

Praised for
  • convenient location near medical center and metro rail
  • spacious modern units
  • responsive individual staff members
  • professional maintenance personnel
Watch-outs
  • chronic AC failures and poor repair timelines
  • mold issues and health concerns
  • unresponsive management and poor communication
  • opaque fees and deposit disputes

Best for: Medical professionals and students needing short-term proximity to the medical center and hospital complex.
Think twice if: AC reliability and management communication are critical to you; multiple residents reported weeks without full cooling and difficulty reaching the office for help.

Common Questions About This Community

How close is The Lanesborough to the Texas Medical Center?
It is within walking distance to the Texas Medical Center and has a metro rail stop right outside the apartments, making it an 8-minute commute to nearby hospitals and medical schools for some residents.
What happens if my AC breaks in summer?
Maintenance will provide a portable AC unit, but based on recent reviews, full repairs can take a week or longer while waiting for replacement parts, leaving residents with inadequate cooling during hot months.
What is included in rent, and what costs extra?
The website states 100% off first month's rent on select floor plans. Residents mention a $92 monthly amenity fee and $25 for valet trash service, but lease terms and final move-out fees lack transparency according to complaints.

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.
