The building is nice, well located and with very good amenities but the best thing is the people that works there, they all give a very good attention and takes care of the residents.

Beautiful place to live. ‘Off the beaten path’ nearest subway is Times Square And that’s a good thing.

The new management is awful. I have been living their for just over six years. If gotten worst and worst. The people were always so friendly at one point. They are letting more and more people live in one apartment. The building has become one big co...

We've lived in the building over 2 years now, and have enjoyed it so far. That is, until we were slapped with a 15% rent increase. That's when I started really noticing throngs of tourists checking in and out of the place like they were in a hotel. T...

I have found this to be a great place. I can walk to work, the doormen are helpful and I am in a pet friendly building. The restaurants are great in the neighborhood and I feel safe. Crunch Gym is convenient and the pool and whirlpool are relaxing. I...

I lived in RBW for a year. The management office will lie to you and tell you that you cannot hear the noise from the Lincoln Tunnel. I lived on a high floor (above 15) and could hear honking every day including weekends. It was horrible. The managem...

I have lived at Riverbank almost a year. Although there is always a doorman "on duty", during that time I have opened my own damned door about 65% of the time.

I lived in this apartment for one year, and I'm SO glad I'm gone. I lived in a decent one bedroom with an amazing view. HOwever, I paid way too much for what I got, and the bathroom and kitchen was in need of some improvements. I was halfway up the b...

not the best place i've ever lived.

Riverbank is an incredibly stressful place to live. Beyond the brilliant view, the building isn't worth the hassle. The staff is lazy; don't expect the doorman to actually open the door for you. The Lincoln Tunnel traffic is much worse now than five ...

I have been a resident for almost a year, and decided to renew my lease for another year. The rent went up $275 for a 3 flex 4 bedroom 2 bath, so it is overpriced already but split with 4 people, it's not that horrible of an increase. It's cheaper an...

Also - mangement is trying to clear out the "white trash" that lives there now. It is probably best to wait a couple of years until they work things out.

I lived there for 2 years and it was great. Once the new management came in things went down hill quickly. They're very money hungry and put a price on everything. I moved out in June and STILL have not received my security deposit and each time I ca...

Everyone is right -- New management is out of its mind! After living there for five years, my rent was raised by 30% on a low floor one-bedroom (right next to the garbage chute), and they required renter's insurance for $100,000 worth of property (as...

This place was a nightmare from the moment I moved in. No storage, the "office" room always had broken equipment, the price of the on-site laundry was too high, and at the end of our lease the rent increased by $400 PLUS we HAD to get renters insuran...

I have lived in the building for three years now (1BR). While the lure of the balcony and pet-friendly building was the driving force behind signing the lease, there are some elements to be leary of before deciding to move here. First, there's the no...

I just moved out, and not a moment too soon. I lived in a studio and my rent went up 400 a month, for a studio people. I was paying what people pay for a 1 bedroom. New management is unhelpful, doesn't know his top from his bottom, and is overly aggr...

I moved in a few years ago but the quality of services at this place has steadily decreased. I would definitely go elsewhere. For the price it is definitely not worth it.

Management is way too aggressive this year as this place use to be a bargain but is now the most overpriced of the bunch. Its funny because across the street's Silverstein building (River Place) use to be really expensive but is now cheaper! There ar...
