Bad Maintenance

River Blu recently had a mandatory maintenance check on the electrical outlets in all of the units. Since I work during the day, I was not home when they entered my unit to do the inspection. When I got home that afternoon, I walked into… See More >

    I've enjoyed living here at River Blu. I've made some wonderful memories here ?? I have great neighbors. It's a great location with amenities a plenty. Walking my pup along the levee or down at the River is one of the best perks.

          No serious complaints. Management is relatively responsive. Maintenance is prompt and very helpful in my experience. Parking fills up quick if you don't get a reserved spot. Occasional problems with getting mail delivered. Had packages stolen form mail room AND off front porch.

            The property is mostly quiet. The office has good office hours and office staff are nice. Even with not having a gate and being by the river, the property feels safe. The sitting areas are well kept.

                  I love living at RiverBlu. I live right next to the river, which is great, especially in the warm months, and also right next to the American River bicycle path, which I use year round. It's surprisingly affordable for such a great location!

                      I had good experience with front office staff. need more clear communication what is required at the time of taking keys of your apartment. I feel it needs more security arrangements or systems so that people in apartments feel safe for themselves and their belongings.

                                        The area is sketchy as homeless people are found sleeping in the locked laundry rooms by climbing in the window. Security is scarce but effective when there around. Quiet place to live with decent maintenance.
