I have lived here for 3 years-2 in a one bed one bath, and 1 in a 2-2. The office staff was great. The manager (Rick Merideth was the biggest jerk i've ever met). The Maintence guys (particularly John), were Great and really on top of all ... [click to read full apartment review]

Rio Nueces Apartments: Don't expect to get your deposit back. (Not Recommending)

From -Anonymous-: 6/27/04:
This is an addendum to my previous review which I wrote in March 2004. I'm re-evaluating my ratings.

Rio Nueces Apartments: Girl RAPED here (!) (Not Recommending)

From -Anonymous-: A woman was raped in the laundrymat last month here.

Rio Nueces Apartments: One of the worst places that i have ever lived at. (Not Recommending)

From -Anonymous-: I hated living at these apartments. They were to small and cost way to much. I felt very unsafe there, since my car was broken into there.

Rio Nueces Apartments: not bad for the price (Recommending!)

From -Anonymous-: I lived here only for the summer of 2002. The rent was very reasonable for a place in the center of town, and the apartment, although old and sagging, was clean and light.

Rio Nueces Apartments: Better than Jester, or is it? (Not Recommending)

From mambasiren: The pool got disgusting during the wintertime. Maintenance was not really necessary since most things worked fine. Electric bill was high for a small one bedroom.

Rio Nueces Apartments: NOISY! (Not Recommending)

From -Anonymous-: After months of horrible, noisy neighbors, I´ve been forced to vacate my bedroom (loud neighbors pour beer, spit lugeys back there) as well as the living room (loud neighbors scream at all hours of the night, play van halen loudly enough to kill some humans).

Rio Nueces Apartments: Like getting robbed? (Not Recommending)

From -Anonymous-: Rio Nueces is a terrible place to live. Although management is quick to respond to a work order, there is constantly something broken that requires a work order.

From -Anonymous-: Maintenence is quick, location is perfect, and the "noise problem" isn´t a problem unless you are prone to study from 11pm-1am on Friday nights.....Decent value and a great location make it worth the while... ... [click to read full apartment review]

Rio Nueces Apartments: Ehh.. not all that bad (Recommending!)

From -Anonymous-: This place isn´t as bad as everyone says. The truth is still your paying for a small chunk of land over expensive property.

Rio Nueces Apartments: Small and dark (Not Recommending)

From CaveDweller: The apartments are very small and dark, but not cheap at all. You would think that since no sun shines in, you would save on energy costs, but it not so at all.

Rio Nueces Apartments: NO WAY! (Not Recommending)

From -Anonymous-: I´ve lived at Rio Nueces for the last two years.
