First off, let me say that people who generally get on websites like this are those that are pissed off, so take the overall ratings with a grain of salt. However, having lived at Riverset for going on 3 years now, the people have legitimate concerns. The management is okay, not quite as bad as they're made out to be. The ladies who work in the office are nice and will try to help you out, even if they start making promises that the management won't follow through with. But overall, they really are nice and are there to help you. They just built a nice (probably the nicest on the island) leasing office with workout room and pool room attached. All of the workout equipment has cable televisions attached to the actual machine, so it is very nice. The pool in the back of the leasing office is very clean and nice and is usually a hot-spot for social outings. The racquetball court in the fitness room is nice, but the window produces a glare that can be bothersome. But as nice as all these updates are, the buildings and apartments themselves are old and are in desparate need of updating. On my building, and a few others, they just put new roofs up, so they're starting to move in the right direction. But since they moved in to the new leasing office, loyalty for residents is thrown out the window. They will not work with you in anyway. For example, I told them 4 months in advance of renewing my lease that because of school, I could only do a 9 month lease (this would be my 3rd year). So not only did my rent go up (which they fixed after I complained enough to the manager), but they tacked on a $50 short-term lease fee (never thought 9 months was THAT short...). Maintenance is slow, but they do get around to fixing things. As far as the complaints about bugs, that is everywhere on the island (including the sewage smell), not just Riverset. It is not a gated community, but has the same, if not lower, crime as the gated communities on the island. Overall, I would say its a decent place to live for school but I wouldn't want to permanently live here. A big plus is that its the cheapest on the island, so you'll get all the nice island amenities.

Oh, and our A/C sucks. The only way to cool this place down is to expect a high utility bill from MLGWorthless.

And my last note, the group that owns this, Fogelman Properties, is awful. They should be ashamed of how they do business. My interactions with them have never been pleasant. vWhRVi5nYYIuEh4W7K3l
