Riverbend Apartments: okay place to live (Not Recommending)

2009-11-24T07:03:42-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here a little more than a year. I haven't had any huge problems. The buildings are old, so the insulation is pretty bad.

Riverbend Apartments: Downhill (Not Recommending)

2008-12-11T11:46:09-06:00

From unhappyme44: I feel that since this summer the apartment complex has gone down hill. I pay way too much for what I am not getting. They took the washers and dryers out and have yet to replace them so I have to take all of my laundry off site. What a ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverbend Apartments: Overall, a good apartment experience (Recommending!)

2008-11-13T15:22:33-06:00

From apartment_reviewer_1: SUMMARY: Riverbend is better than a lot of complexes in the area. It's more expensive than places closer to OU's campus (which seem little more than privatized student dormitories). But it's nicer, too. It is directly on the bus route, a block away from a low-end supermarket, and 1.5 miles ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverbend Apartments: Maintenance Great but Everything Else.... (Not Recommending)

2008-10-09T17:15:36-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As the title indicates, the best thing about this complex is the maintenance staff is on the ball.

Riverbend Apartments: Place is falling apart, but it's cheap (Recommending!)

2008-04-25T20:07:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I recommend it with the following caveat: if you're looking for a place relatively close to campus that's cheap and serviceable, then Riverbend will work for you.

Riverbend Apartments: Awful neighbors! (Not Recommending)

2007-12-03T16:32:17-06:00

From you23: I lived in a townhouse and I loved the inside-had very few problems. BUT, the neighbors at 1528 are completely awful. They're a family that lets their kids run around the street all day and most of the night. It's unreal how this family acts. The children are bratty and ... [click to read full apartment review]
