Resident 2016

I've been reading a lot of negative comments about Riviera, and I would like to add a more positive/well rounded review to consider if you're looking at possibly moving here. I lived at Riviera for two semester, Winter 2016 and Spring 2016, and I loved it. Like most apartments though, there are pros and cons. The pros to living at Riviera are the location, generally friendly people, management was easy to contact, maintenance was always great (we had a broken stove once and they were quick to come and replace it), and it wasn't that expensive. My overall experience was a good one. The cons to living there are that it does get hot in the summer, the vacuums are really old, there were some annoying and less than friendly residents (but not nearly as many as friendly ones), people are likely to move your laundry on you (so be sure to keep an eye on it), and the washers/dryers did break down a lot (however, they were usually fixed relatively fast). The management does hold really high expectations, they can be a little irritable at times, and are definitely neat freaks (which can be REALLY annoying); but it's not like they don't tell you this. All of their expectations are laid out in a meeting they hold at the beginning of each semester. They mention all of the parking rules (I saw someone complain about that) and if I remember right they do have guest passes, you just have to ask for them. They're also usually pretty lenient during move in and out days about guests parking (for obvious reasons). So really, the main thing with management, is understand the rules ahead of time and be willing to follow them. And if you have a concern talk to them. They were pretty understanding whenever I had concerns. Overall, living at Riviera was a great experience. Yes, there were a few things that annoyed me, but in general this has been my favorite place to live and I would highly recommend living here. PS: I don't remember what the actual cost of rent was, because I was given a reduced price each semester, so I had to guess.
