What Residents Say

Long-term residents praise the maintenance team's responsiveness and office staff by name (Larissa, Amber, Luis), especially for emergency repairs. The neighborhood feels quiet and clean, with pricing competitive for the Med Center area. Guests should know the new ParqKing system charges $1 per hour for visitor parking, and some report surprise fees or rent hikes when renewing leases.

A minority of reviews cite pest problems and past maintenance delays, though recent feedback emphasizes quick turnarounds. The rental screening process has rejected applicants with strong credit, so review their criteria before paying the application fee.

3.6(208)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Tenants report years of serious maintenance failures, with water leaks taking months to fix and roach infestations that management paints over rather than solving. Multiple water damage incidents left mold untreated, repairs go unfinished, and staff turnover is constant-seven managers in four years left residents confused and without accountability. Management frequently loses documentation, charges residents without notice, and sends debts to collections after misplacing move-out paperwork. The complex struggles with noise from inconsiderate neighbors and sits in a high-crime area with car theft and gunfire. A handful of residents praise individual staff members, but systemic issues-broken locks, ignored work orders, and refusal to negotiate with military families facing transfers-overshadow occasional positive interactions.

Riverstone

Riverstone splits sharply. Leasing staff, especially Sylvia, consistently earn praise for warmth and quick service; residents note clean units and competitive pricing. Behind that front desk lies friction: pools and common areas fall into disrepair, pest complaints recur, and move-out billing disputes end in collections. Security stands out as a worry; theft and a reported on-premises confrontation undermine the marketed refuge. Staff culture matters here, and it shows both ways. The apartments themselves draw mixed reviews. New residents often find units clean and well-finished, particularly those handled during leasing. Maintenance staff like Ramo and Ram turn work around faster than promised. Yet long-term residents report water damage, cockroaches, and a gap between what management promises and what it delivers on upkeep. The tone of move-out interactions has scarred enough reviewers that questions linger about how fairly the business handles departures.

The Fredd

3.4(335)✓ Google-verified

The Fredd's 3.4-star rating masks a sharp divide: half of reviews are five-star, but 37% are one or two stars. Recent tenants report AC units that stop cooling or leak water for months, maintenance staff who speak little English creating dangerous communication gaps, and move-in inspections where bathrooms retain loose tiles and kitchens are visibly uncleaned. A handful of residents praise quick responses to minor repairs and flexible lease terms, yet the overwhelming pattern is unresolved work orders, roach infestations unaddressed despite promised weekly spraying, and management that residents describe as uncaring about habitability. Parking decals go missing, leading to car tows; lease termination fees are steep even when basic utilities fail.
