River Point Apartments

I’ve lived in many apartments, and I can tell you there is not one that is perfect. Being a graduate student from out of town, I did not even have time to scope out the complex for myself (a friend looked for me). I am now starting my second year in the same studio apartment. Maintenance fixes problems very quickly, though sometimes they forget about small minor things (like a blind slat). The manager is very quick to respond if you need her, and the complex is fairly quiet with residents ranging from working-​class to retired and a few graduate students. I’ve never had any problems with bugs. My only small complaints are that the pool facilities (hot tub) is not great, and sometimes the laundry machines break down. Other that that, I’ve been very satisfied with my first year here.

Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to live. The people in the front office are nice but they just so obviously don’t care about the people who live here. My fridge door has been broken since I moved in in June and they won’t do anything about it. I’ve had the place sprayed 3 times for cockroaches and they still come back, so I was told that sometimes «that’s just how it is.» They recently switched to doing online rent payments online, but neglected to say that we have to start paying our water/​sewer/​trash straight to the company, they no longer make the payment for us. Their maintenance team usually ignores every request I make, yet when my fiancé, a male, makes a request, they seem to get right on it.
River Point claims to be a very safe community with some random «community watch» stickers on all the windows, but my fiancé’s bike was stolen from the bike rack almost immediately upon move in. There was a sign nearby on a dumpster saying that anyone who put trash in that dumpster would receive a 100 $ fine and there was a video camera on that dumpster to keep watch, but when we asked to see footage to try and find who stole the bike we were told they had no idea what we were talking about.
It’s cheap. It’s pretty much the only thing this place has going for it, but also keep in mind that you get what you pay for. I love that I have almost 1000 square feet and pay $ 670, but after living here for a while I wish I would have found somewhere else to live. It’s also fairly quiet for it’s location, which is a plus. My building faces a small neighborhood and we hear much less city noise, sirens, etc than we thought we would.
If you want to pay for cockroaches, vibrating floors when the AC turns on, fridge doors that don’t close all the way, and if you’d like to be disrespected every once in a while by people who claim to be there for you, then definitely check this place out.

River Point Apartments is overall a solid apartment complex. It was easy to arrange application and confirmation even though I was not living in Tucson at the time. This was due in part to staff being available via the phone and the application being mostly done online.
When I arrived, they were very welcoming and everything was already arranged. I was able to move in that same day without any hassle. My apartment is very clean and they have been very responsive in fixing any items that have been broken.
I would recommend this apartment complex to anyone who has a budget but wants to live somewhere that is organized, clean and well managed.
