The River Lofts at Tobacco Row (formerly Tobacco Row Apartments): HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT! (Not Recommending)

2008-09-11T14:27:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am a military veteran and have never been treated so horribly by anyone as bad as the management here is. I have a disability that has been documented by medical personnel and the complex continues to discriminate against me for this matter. I have received several letters from their ...

2008-05-05T07:48:33-06:00

From mvingout08: My lease is up soon and I cannot wait to get out of here! Clogged drains, windows painted shut, broken garbage disposal, 2 cable jacks don't work, leaky pipes, broken hot water heater, $45/mo parking fee (per person)...i could go on and on.

The River Lofts at Tobacco Row (formerly Tobacco Row Apartments): shifty and shady (Not Recommending)

2008-03-12T09:12:34-06:00

From may1003: I agree with all past reviewers! They are upping the rent and starting to charge a monthly pet fee which they didn't before. Parking is HORRENDOUS. If you work at the hospital you have to pay 40$ or more a month to park there and then another 35-45$ to park ... [click to read full apartment review]

2008-02-25T21:24:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in Tobacco Row Apts for 3 years (once my lease is up this coming May). I must say that I have grown very fond of this area and apartment.

The River Lofts at Tobacco Row (formerly Tobacco Row Apartments): Not As Nice as You Think (Not Recommending)

2007-11-30T20:42:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I love the location but it is totally not worth the hassle and price. I have lived here six months. In the summer, the pool stays full of sand from the volleyball courts, and generally looks nasty. I never got in it. The workout room is okay, but I don't ... [click to read full apartment review]

The River Lofts at Tobacco Row (formerly Tobacco Row Apartments): New Management has ruined my home (Not Recommending)

2007-10-07T00:54:08-06:00

From gedrhen@hotmail.com: I have enjoyed my apartment here for the last two years, but the new management have completely changed my feelings about my home.

2007-09-14T13:02:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The buildings are in a great location. But price for rent is rising and no renovations have been made since the 80's. Parking fees are now being enforced and spaces are limited. Tenants that originally signed the lease in part due to free parking will now have to suffer a ... [click to read full apartment review]

2007-08-21T01:08:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here at Tobacco Row since May 2005. My first two years here were wonderful!

2007-08-23T08:38:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Update to my previous review below: I completely agree with the reviewer from 8/21/07.

2006-04-30T19:33:57-06:00

From -Anonymous-: the location itself was great, but the cockroaches were fearless, the people walking in the halls loud, the walls thin, and the parking, quite frankly, sucked. Trash disposal bins and the mail boxes were also extremely inconvenient. ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-04-02T10:46:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm very happy with my choice to live here. I was attracted by the "one check pays it all" of Lofts at Canal Walk, but after a less than pleasant experience with their leasing staff, I'm glad I chose not to live there. River Lofts seemed overpriced, and more space ... [click to read full apartment review]
