River Oaks Apartments & Townhomes

If I had the time and energy I would make like a town crier on my hands and knees outside of the complex imploring people with all the despair I could manage to not waste their time and money here. Absolutely awful. No air conditioning, outdated kitchen with a stove from the 50s that’s more like to catch fire than cook a dinner. So small that in the rooms you have to pick and choose what’s more important. You ah e to decide between your bed and a tv in the bedrooms, and in the living room you... have to choose between a couch and coffee table. Please don’t even think about putting any appliance in the play kitchen. The oven was worse than my easy bake oven I had when I was 7 years old Lee mas

I have been at River Oaks for several years. Here are the pros and con of living there:
Pros: The location is good. I am in walking distance to a small shopping center. It's a short drive to the main streets in Hanford. The complex is normally very quiet. I live in a two-bedroom apartment. It's a good size apartment. Maintenance staff is very helpful and friendly. There is also pools for the residents and a small gym. It is a gated community so around 7pm, they close the gates. I believe all... apartments come with outdoor space, so renters either have a balcony or a patio. You can also rent a garage and outdoor storage space. And they allow pets, for a fee of course.

Cons: If you are looking for a high-end apartment, please continue to look. The "granite" in the kitchen and bathroom stains easily. The walls are too thin, and they waste a lot of water on the grass. We are in a drought, and I don't see them being more proactive in reducing water usage. There isn't a lot of parking spaces so their solution is to begin charging renters for parking spaces. Also the road is narrow, so someone usually has to yield to let another driver go by. The office staff aren't particularly knowledgeable or helpful. This may be due to the fact that they have had a lot of staff turnovers.
In summary, if you are here for a short stay, I would recommend staying here. However, if you are looking for something long-term,you would be better off finding a house to rent. You could find something cheaper and larger. I don't recommend River Oaks on a long-term basis. Lee mas
