Almost killed over a dozen residents with carbon monoxide poisoning and didn't even apologize or accept responsibility. The first floor is the office and a work space, and they used a tool all day without proper ventilation or even opening up any windows, and it emitted carbon monoxide and a ton of it...which ALL came upstairs into the apartments all day while everyone was gone at work. When we all started arriving home we noticed a funny smell, and thank god someone called the fire department who came out and had to open all of our windows when it was 30 degrees on a January night, and have everyone leave their apartments. River City NEVER even apologized or did or said anything about it. Horrific behavior.

I can not wait until my lease is up!
The parking lot has the worlds tiniest spaces, so half of them are unusable because you physically can't fit an average sized compact car in them. The parking lot is horribly lit. There is only one entrance you can use, so you are forced to walk the entire length of the building in the dark, very unsafe but they refuse to add another entrance.

I can hear my neighbors walk. I hear every step they take. I hear the tv's, not because they are particularly loud, but because the walls are PAPER THIN!!! You can hear conversations, music, EVERYTHING. Nothing like being woken up in the morning due to your neighbor walking around getting ready for work. Seriously, no exaggeration.

Electric bills are high because the 18 ft ceilings, while gorgeous, kill the heater and ac and make it impossible to keep your apartment one temperature or warm in the winter.

It looks like a gorgeous apartment and a lot of space, but it is not worth it! I would not recommend this to ANYONE!!!!

I remember that, I actually live on the first floor and had the fire department come in the take readings. We had to leave because the windows dont open.
