Riverwalk Lofts

Riverwalk east is a wonderful place to live. Management and staff are friendly, very efficient and very professional. Property is well maintained, and I always feel safe and respected. Units are just beautiful, and neighbors are friendly and kind. My experience has been very positive, and I am happy to be a resident here!

Amazing large modern mill apartments. Exceptional concierge, leasing, and maintenance teams. They’ve done a lot of great work to renovate the East units.

This is not an axe to grind review. It is completely honest and meant to help anyone trying to make a decision. I absolutely love my apartment. Some of the units have ridiculously small living rooms. Bad design because there is plenty of wasted space. The bedroom areas in all the units are tiny. You can fit a bed and one nightstand. There is no room for a second nightstand or any dressers. The bathrooms are really cute and well put together but small. The kitchens are wonderful. Plenty of space.... The appliances are very high end. The kitchen is great for someone who cooks. The only problem would be where to seat people since the living rooms are small and most units don’t provide place for a table. The walls are thin. In my bedroom I can hear every word the woman upstairs says. There is plenty of closet space. The building interiors are beautiful. The lighting, decor and community spaces are really great. During the evening hours you can really wait a long time for an elevator. If you are thinking about under building parking don’t waste your money. The monthly charge for under building parking is steep for Lawrence. The spots are hard to get in and out of. Due to support poles in the garage and arrangement of parking. The exterior of the building and grounds will likely never be finished. This is the slowest construction project I have ever seen. During the months I have been here not much has changed visually. It is very dirty and dusty outside. No progress has been made to the surface lots or the landscape. Don’t plan on opening your windows. If you like fresh air too bad. The dirty outside blows around like a dirt tornado. With the windows open your apartment would be full of dirt. There is also an immense amount of flying bugs outside. The complex does not provide screens for the windows so open at own risk. Getting around on campus can be a challenge. There is always construction vehicles in the way. The leasing office employees are done with you once you sign your lease. Don’t bother calling them. The maintenance and cleaning staff work really hard. The fire alarms go off all the time. One week they went of 3 times. It’s an obnoxious siren and recorded voice that airs from a speaker in your apartment. When they go off you must leave the building and wait outside in the dirt. If you consider an patch of loose dirty surrounded with a movable chain link fence a dog walk you got it. Lee mas

!!!!!RENTER BEWARE!!!!! Worth reading this, don’t give them your business.

1) We pay $100 a month for a parking spot underground that had a problem with our sticker not opening the door. We called security to notify we would have to leave the car outside (because it was 7pm when we got back so office is closed) and the next day our car was towed.

2) Not enough maintenance staff to keep up with the growing amount of tenants. Trash overflow, dirty hallways, floors, and elevators are constant. As... such, rats and mice are common and can be seen throughout the property. Also, they house the dumpsters in the underground parking ($100 extra a month to park you car next to literal garbage so have fun smelling that in your car forever) so you can have a clue as to why there’s a pest problem.
Management error.

3) On multiple counts, management has failed to contact residents when “testing” of fire alarms happen, causing widespread evacuation of the building. This happened a few times where I was on a work meeting in my unit. Talked to the leasing office and they said they were “not aware” there was work happening, and claimed they didn’t even hear the fire alarm going off. This has happened on 3 separate occasions. When trying to get in touch with the property manager, the leasing office told to my face that she “doesn’t have a phone.” What an absolute joke. I’ve seen her post it here to “hear the concerns of those leaving reviews.” They’re basically begging tenants to help fix their online reputation, which is poor for a reason.
Extremely negligent communication and management error.

Getting into some of the questionable things that are all part of the “luxury” experience:

We pay $50 a month for our dog and the “dog run” is a small chain link area with some rocks that is always completely covered in dog poop.

The walls are so thin that we can actually hear our neighbor sneeze, I wish I was exaggerating. Obvious corners cut during construction.

Electric bills cost $350 a month in the summer because of the horribly inefficient and old systems in each apartment.

So much office staff turnover in the last year and a half that you can never get any information from anyone.

There’s ALWAYS something under construction. The “new construction” apartments are also $500 a month more than we pay with almost half the square footage. They’re getting desperate.

Too much to list: I reached the character limit for reviews. Don’t live here! Lee mas

We’ve lived here for 3 years and it has been problem after problem after problem, first the parking situation sucks, second, appliances like the HVAC system breaks down all the time causing 4-600$ monthly electric bills because it needs to be on 24/7. Third, our floor is peeling off to the point it’s embarrassing to have people over. The floor has been in place over 13 years but if you are the current tenant they will try to make you pay to get them a completely new floor for years to come. Save... yourself the trouble and look elsewhere Lee mas
