Resident 2008 - 2010

3/15/2012

we lived at River Oaks for two years. at first everything was great, but we did notice management kept changing over and over again. the maintenance was very friendly but we felt bad for them because they were clearly UNDERSTAFFED and had problems keeping up with their workload. fortunately we only needed to call them twice (once for an easy dishwasher fix, the other required our frig to be replaced), but they got the job done and they were always really nice. because we lived on ground level that meant we had neighbors above us. things were fine until the family directly above us moved out. a week later, 3 male college dropouts moved in and that's when our life turned into a living hell. they were noisy from 10am until 4am. because i work primarily from home, it was impossible to get things done. phone calls were often interrupted because of the loud music, partying, and screaming. one day around 2pm when the majority of people were at work or school, one of the three upstairs decided to have a rap party for himself blaring it on the stereo and even stepped out onto the patio as if he was on stage acting as if he was a rap star. multiple tenants complained (including us) and a month later these fools were evicted. one major issue i had was the speed at which cars would travel throughout the complex. even though i don't expect everyone to go at the posted 10mph, i witnessed several near accidents. someone will be jogging out on a nice day with their dog and some ------- is getting off work flying through the complex at 40mph not paying attention because his crappy iPhone is more important than driving. it's NOT the same speed as Dublin Road! i begged with them to install speed bumps but they tried telling me it's not up to them, it's up to the owners, and nothing was ever done. the management is absolutely the worst. sometimes FedEX or UPS would not want to drop off a package at your door if it contained valuable contents or required a signature, so they would leave it at the rental office for you to pick up. going in there was like talking to the Soup ----. even though you'd been in there 30 times before to pick up your mail and they KNEW who you were, they would still give you a hard time if you didn't have your I.D. their attitude sucked no matter what day/time. parking was never an issue and we always felt safe. most of the time the landscaping was near perfection. they never did keep the workout room, rec room, and computer office very clean, though, when we were there. trash would pile up. bathrooms would smell like total piss. we would mention it but they would always have an excuse. i personally feel they didn't want to pay a cleaning company so they could save money and forced an even greater workload on the already exhausted maintenance crew who simply couldn't keep up. the apartments themselves are overall not bad. i've stayed at much worse places. the location is ideal for most people and very convenient to Hilliard, Upper Arlington, etc. they just need to get management that cares!
