Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

i usually don’t write reviews, but I have lived here a year now and today renewed my lease. I’m always busy on the go with working a job and running a business. The team always makes things so easy to deal with. For example putting in a work order, it’s usually done within 2 hours or they will contact with you immediately. I’ve had work orders in other places take days and weeks. The staff is friendly, polite and respect. Uniqe signed me up and made the move easy and renewing easy for me. My concern is I have 2 young kids and I want a safe place to live. This complex gives me just that. I HIGHLY recommend this place as a place to live. Im only moving to a house if I leave. Thank you to all the River vista staff for everything. Y’all are the best. ❤️

Haven't moved there yet; but Ms. Alicya was very honest and kind as we toured the complex. We appreciate ever detail she spoke about and her patience. She even went beyond when we told her about our over sized section, to show use her own. Much respect and admiration to her 👍🏾
