Berkshire Riverview Apartments

They will tow you and any of your friends cars out of the guest parking area. The tow company they use has 1 star on google and is a very sketchy experience. When I went to get my car the place did not even ask me for an ID. When I contacted management they did not care or even respond. They will offer you a good promotional rate to move in and then try to up your rate 10-15% when you go to renew it. Decent property but poor management from storage units in the garage consistently being empty... because they refuse to charge a reasonable rate to threats of fines for having a doormat.

Beware of any units that claim to have a view or a balcony. A lot of the units have a 1x6 foot balcony so they can say it technically has a balcony. A lot of the units claiming to be river view units will be blocked by the trees. They do not offer paddle board storage for free ($100 when I last checked) and the dock is a tiny floating one and they do not even know the code for it.
Plenty of other apartments in the area that have much better reviews.

I would highly recommend checking those out first before settling for the Berkshire Riverview. Read More

I really enjoy living here. The amenities and staff make it a great community to live in.

All the benefits of living in this condominium are overshadowed by the lack of security! Despite having entry sensors, some access gates remain open 24/7 due to poor maintenance. There are no security cameras in the garage or storage areas, and no camera where deliveries are made. The garage gate is frequently broken, allowing anyone to enter. My experience has been frustrating: just two weeks after moving in, two locked bicycles were stolen, and the storage unit I pay $55 per month for was... broken into, with all my belongings stolen. There is a severe lack of maintenance, security, and cleanliness, and a strong odor in the common areas. This condominium, although close to downtown and the river trail, offers very little security and shows no signs of improvement. Read More

People's cars get broken into every other night. I'm not even exaggerating. Also, one of my friends had his bike stolen, his cage broken into 2 times, and his motorcycle raided 2 times. Security here is poor. It's legitimately a big reason I want to move out.

You know that scene in Home Alone, where Kevin's sister tells him: "Kevin, you're what the French call les incompetent?" That's how I'd describe the Berkshire Riverview staff.

Now, working in an apartment leasing office is a hard, difficult job....Actually, not it's really not at all. It's a job mediocre people drift into when they don't have any actual skills or ambition. So that means the people in charge of keeping your home safe and running are one step above Walmart employees.

This has... come to a head lately, as there is an EPIDEMIC of car break-ins. People's cars are outright BEING STOLEN OUT OF THE GARAGE! And they do nothing.

Management is "getting quotes" for a private security company. They've been "getting quotes" for a year and change. Those must be some thorough quotes!

Why is it taking so long? Probably because of the inept deadbeats stumbling around the leasing office all day. If you live here, your car might get stolen, but the leasing people work 9-6, live elsewhere, and probably make $12 an hour. So what do they care?

Answer: they don't. This apartment complex is incredible unsafe. I haven't even touched on all the other problems lately: wifis, broken amenities that aren't fixed, non-functioning elevators, etc.

Don't live here. And don't heed the obviously fake positive reviews. Read More
