For your money, The Parachute Factory (or any other River City Real Estate property) is the best value. You can have your pets, central a/c and heat, and most have free, off-street parking (just make sure your vehicle is properly ...ā¦Ā See More >anonymous

The Parachute Nightmare
TPF is awful on an epic scale. Loving your life here requires total deafness, or the ability to never, ever leave your apartment, where you'll encounter shoddy staff, poorly maintained grounds and a wide variety of bizarrely enforced rules.
