Formerly Korman Communities, this dump is now owned by River Plaza, LLC. It is no wonder why, after reviewing the majority of the upscale properties listed under Korman's website, the owners finally wised up and sold this place. Of the very few positives I have to say after a year of living here, one is that your rent (at least I know it did under prior management) includes ALL utilities. Also, the new management team seems to be on the right track as far as making the necessary building improvements. However, don't let this fool you. In my book, the only improvement of interest involves hoisting a wrecking ball to an elevated height, releasing and allowing that same ball to swing freely towards the structure, ending all misery of ever having to live another day here. Here are 10 great reasons to avoid living in River Dump Apartments, LLC:
1. Expect routine hammer and nail practice at 9 a.m. each morning, courtesy of your very own neighbors.
2. Paper mache now apparently among the list of leading materials for apartment wall construction.
3. A parking lot with enough spaces to fill a 2-car garage. Seriously.
4. Driers in a "laundry center" specializing in actually making your clothes wetter than what they were to begin. Consider re-using your drawers.
5. You are more likely to get a better workout in at a doughnut shop than with this run down state of the art fitness center.
6. Did you need to use the "convenient" business center computers' Enjoy frantically trying to minimize the awkward virus-infested pornographic pop-ups while passers-by question your true intentions.
7. Going up' Bring lawn chairs it may be a while.
8. A maintenance team with the combined paralleled intelligence of The Three Stooges.
9. Individual Heating and air conditioning systems installed with the inauguration of George Washington.
10. Ever slept in the middle of your own kitchen before' I have. Every night.

Sarcasm occasionally helps, that is, until I realize I still live here. I am convinced that there are many other properties out there that offer much, much more. Then again, if you enjoy seeing little return for the hefty rent rates you'll find here, this is the place for you! DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF LIVING HERE!

RIVER PLAZA REVIEWS 2311 N. Front Street Harrisburg, Pa 17110 3 people have been murdered within the vicinity since the start of the new year (2008). New head of maintenance is not only creepy, but is also worthless. Made a huge mess of debris during one of his half ass repairs and never cleaned up after himself. I honestly hid my jewelry and guarded my panty drawer while he was here attempting make a use for himself. I heard from the general manager that there over 70 units that are open and unrented currently, so feel good that our efforts online to make it known that this building is a nightmare are paying off. Starting February 22nd we will no longer have 24 hour front desk security. When the 5 office girls that steal parking from paying residents leave at 5PM no one else will be coming in to give the perception of security. Granted those security guys don't do much, but their presence alone curbs a lot of riff raff. Having you seen some of the ghetto hood rats that live here, recently? 12.5% of the parking is consumed by the office girls, if you need parking then find one of their cars at 5PM and wait desperately salivating like the little parking vulture this place has turned you into for the girls to leave. I've been on the waiting list for basement parking for 9 months... God, how I loathe those office girls who duped me into thinking that this place was livable. The latest annoyance... my apartment is 83 degrees with a window open, but the window open creates a draft that gave me a sinus infection. Its actually hotter in here now than what it was in the summertime... The waterpipes for the heating system are banging so hard within the walls that I have not gotten a complete nights sleep since the temperature dropped below 40 degrees... It sounds like someone is hammering the wall in 5 minute intervals all night long. Its so loud that my neighbors actually thought someone above or below them was hanging pictures at 3AM. They called security, and the dim witted, but well intentioned oaf told everyone that it must have been someone having sex... Oh the humanity... lol! 2 more months and I am out of here...
