Post Riverside

I've lived at Post Riverside for over three years, and while it has its nice attributes, overall it has gone downhill and I will not be renewing. By far the worst part is that, for some reason, just about every month, the fire alarm goes off at 2am for no apparent reason. It's been going off so often that firetrucks don't even come when they go off. Of course it's always the night before a work day, and at times it can take over an hour for it to get shut off. It's not worth it.

The Good
- The best part about it is that it doesn't feel like a 'typical' apartment complex, with the little town square and buildings (although several of the business in the square - like the bank and insurance agent - have closed and/or relocated)
- Maintenance requests are completed quickly
- Plenty of parking

The Bad (besides the fire alarms)
- Getting packages here is a joke. If the delivery company will not deliver it to your door when you are not there, the office will not sign packages for you. If the package is delivered to the office that they do not have to sign for, they stick it in a room that is only open during their limited office hours (M-F 10-6 and Sa 10-5) and in room that the entire complex has access to. They never check when you take a package, and I've had a couple of packages allegedly delivered to the office that I did not see there. When I called the office to tell them about the missing package, I was yelled at and informed that they were not responsible for packages. Great, thanks.
- For some unknown reason, Post Properties has their own cable installers. So even if you call Comcast, you are dependent on a Post employee to install your stuff, which can seemingly take forever.
- Lots of dogs here, and very large ones. I think there is supposed to be a limit to the size of dogs residents can have but it's clearly not enforced.
- For the size of the complex, the gym is very small. Unless you're going to do cardio you'll want to get a membership somewhere.

I had previously written that the good outweighs the bad and I had recommended it in the past but cannot any longer.
