220 Riverside

Looks nice on the outside and the walkthrough, but you do NOT want to live here. They were not timely on any of the things they said were going to get done. Construction is STILL ongoing for the restaurant amenities downstairs that they said would be open in October (2015). The maintenance staff is constantly doing work, yet it always seems like they need to enter your apartment for more work to be done. We get letters on our door about every week for some maintenance work they will be coming around to do. On top of that, I am having to put in regular work requests for fixes of things that are falling apart (which they called «completed» one time when water was clearly still dripping from the bathroom ceiling… thanks). Isn’t this place new? Just as the other reviews state, it is loud and you can hear everything on the other side of any of your four walls. But if that isn’t loud enough, the fire alarm is a regular occurrence at 220. It used to go off several times for fairly short durations between 7am-​6pm. Now I guess they have graduated to the middle of the night as it is currently 3:21am and we have been listening to it for over an hour. At least you know it works I guess (or maybe it doesn’t). I love the area, but, if I could do it over, I would live in Bell Riverside or Brooklyn because 220 has had more frustrations than I can even list here. It is not worth the money (or lack of sleep, particularly if you are not on the typical 9 – 5).

Beautiful views and awesome location is about the only thing it’s good for and that’s a shame! It is very loud. The walls are very thin and can hear stomping feet. Management is not very helpful; they do not communicate what is happening and do not return phone calls/​emails. Fire alarms go off constantly either during the day or in the middle of the night. A few times the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and kept on for at least two hours. There’s been drunk people rioting through the halls and vandalizing the property. It’s sad that the management does not do more to help or prevent these issues from happening.

Great but noisy!!!
I love this place so much. To go downstairs and watch river city live be taped every morning is pretty awesome. Unity plaza is great. Lots of events.
It’s such a shame they did not construct the building better, soundproofing wise. I hear EVERYTHING. People stomping upstairs. People next door. It is annoying.

NICE BUT NOISY!
These apartments are beautiful and the staff are fantastic. But the walls are super thin!!!
You can hear every footstep above you and you can also hear your next door neighbors talking. If you are sensitive to noise, definitely rent a top floor apartment. That way, you are only dealing with voices and not stomping feet above!
It’s a shame they didn’t put a little more money into the construction. For the cost of rent here, you expect better quality construction.
