I have lived at River Oaks for a year now and I have to say I really enjoy the area. I like that it is a bit secluded and private. I think the apartment complex itself is kept up and looks fairly decent on the outside. That being said, I have had a few issues with maintenance and specifically problems with the office not being friendly towards the requests I have made. I have waited a long time for maintenance requests to go through. I have even called the emergency line for something I was fairly definite was an emergency and was never called back or spoken to about the incident.
I would recommend this apartment complex to my friends, but would most likely warn them that it would be best to just walk in the office and make a maintenance request instead of waiting for an online response.
