As with any apartment, this place is not perfect. On the plus side, I consider Mud Island one of the best places to live in Memphis. Riverset was the cheapest option on Mud Island, so a lot of students live here. The grounds are good when you compare it to the rest of the city, but just so-so when you compare to the rest of Mud Island. The recreation areas were not exceptionally well kept, but it wasn't horrible by any means. In my first years at Riverset, the maintenance was great... however, management has recently changed and I have nothing good to say about this new group at all. Before, the office staff was always friendly and genuinely cared about what your needs were. Now, it will take months or more to get a maintenance problem fixed (we just gave up after asking for the 5th time), and the staff is less than friendly and caring. After being a resident there for 4 years, I expect a little bit of respect from them, but they truly don't care. As was written about before, there is a serious brown recluse problem. The previous management took this problem seriously at times, but that has now changed. I have found these toxic spiders in the shower with me, in my bed, and crawling around my clothes. Fortunately I haven't been bitten, but I feel lucky.

Overall, I was pleased with my stay 4 year stay at Riverset, but with the current management group really dragging things down the drain, I am very happy to be gone.
