Resident 2003 - 2006

I lived at River Falls for 2 years. When I first moved in I loved it. It was beautiful and safe and I had a huge apartment. I had a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom with a gigantic living/dining area. Shortly after moving in everything started going down hill. The elevators were constantly breaking down. Once I got on it and it wouldn't open and wouldn't go up and it took about 5-10 mins before it finally moved. It eventually broke down for good. The office said they had no plans to fix it anytime soon. During the time I lived there they changed ownership several times. Once it was like twice in 2 months. The security doors are a joke because people are always propping them open with rocks and such. The duck ponds are nice though. The parking lot became such a hazard for vehicles that my mother refused to drive through them. If she was picking me up to go somewhere I had to walk to the street for her to pick me up. You really had to know the pattern around the pot holes to avoid damage to your car. The pet rent was $10 per month per pet and if you wanted covered parking you had to pay an additional $15 per month. That doesn't sound like much but it adds up over time. And just because you pay doesn't mean that you will have covered parking. I paid and if the weather got bad everyone would move their vehicles under even if they didn't pay and would take your spot. Once I had to park a block away because my parking spot was taken and there weren't any free anywhere close. That can really irritate you when you are trying to get your small child home at 2 in the morning. I would talk to the office and they would just say that they would try to find out whose car it was and ask them to move it. We weren't allowed to call to have it towed (only the office could do that). Unfortunately everyone knew that and would park in your spot after hours. I knew people who said why pay when you can just park there for free? I never saw anyone ever get towed in 2 years. When I moved to my new apartments they told them that I was unclean, changed the locks without permission, and had several cats without permission. All of which were lies. They would try to come in when I was asleep and had the privacy lock locked and so they thought I changed the locks. I paid my pet deposit and my monthly pet rent on my 1 cat. I never had any other pets. They accused me of being unclean. I asked them to come look and inspect my apartment but they refused because they knew it was a lie. Most of this was lies told to them from a nosy old woman who was too worried about where my finances came from because I was in school. She watched when I came home and would question my neighbors about how I could afford to buy things. Since she had lived there for like 20 years the office assumed that she was telling the truth about everything when in fact she was just trying to stir up trouble. Most of the residents are older or disabled persons. Like I said it was great at first and then it just went down hill.
