I have been living in my building for 1 year and so far have been very satisfied with the service. The staff is very nice and all of my maintenance issues have been handled very quickly. The building is safe and always kept very clean. I would recomm...

If the maintenance is anything like the leasing office, no thank you! I dropped by to get rental information and was told I had to have an appointment, which was not the case at Silver Towers, River Place, River2River, TFCornerstone, Waterside or Gle...

What's the whole story behind the convicted felon being allowed to stay here? Apparently a tenant found out, started complaining, and then the building decided to ask the police to evict him. The things this building does for money! The building is a...

Seriously, stay away from this place. The building is terrific and the location is great, but management will try to soak you at every turn. If you DO choose to live there, do the following: 1) Don't be tempted by the convenient rent drop box. Send y...

After a busy 4th of July, I had come back to drop off rent on the 6th. "You have to pay 10% of rent extra, and money order only" I asked the square faced staff in the office on when is the latest date. "the 6th of the month". It was the morning of th...

I lived at Riverbank West only 7 months and every single day I lived there I felt extremely uncomfortable. I knew it was only too good to be true when I moved in. It all hit the fan when I had to move out in two weeks. They had the audacity to ask fo...

I'm in the process of moving here and just found these reviews. The rate I got was good, but there seems to be a lack of amenities with the gym leaving etc. My time is short and if I don't find something quick I'm afraid of being stuck with these neg...

make this place better, but I have to say, it's been a pretty lousy so far & we're moving out as soon as our lease is done. It's just a weird place & people seem to moving in and out a lot. People don't stay long.

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.

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.
