From what I can tell...

I've lived in two of the apartment buildings at the Riverhouse and had some difficulty transitioning from moving out of one building into the other, but all in all it wasn't a terrible experience. However, I've had many issues with the front desk staff at both buildings I have lived in. Once, I was having a pretty serious problem while I was inside of my apartment home alone and called the front desk from my cell phone for assistance. I was told that the "head engineer" was on call but off the premises (at home) so they would call him to come onsite and help me, but I was warned that it could take a significant amount of time. I felt so let down and the individual at the front desk that evening treated me horribly, like I was joking. Also, on two occasions I have left a guest parking pass and the key to my apartment at the front desk so that my guest from out of town could let themselves into my apartment while I was at work (this is Riverhouse policy). TWICE when I arrived before my guest I went to the front desk to retrieve my key and I was told that the front desk had somehow "lost" my key and could not find it (and once I had to wait until the next morning to get it back!)
Overall I really do love my apartment and the location but I avoid interacting with the Riverhouse staff at all costs (which I honestly don't think I should have to do....)
