Thus far, my experience at Riverwalk has been pleasant and pretty straightforward in meeting my needs. Natalie in the management office is a gem and always great to connect with as I stop by to grab a coffee in the espresso bar or ask a management question. She has done a ton of great work since starting as part of the team and always a cheerful welcoming presence in the office. Also, I haven't had the chance to get her name but the maintenance woman/housekeeper is also amazing. I highly value the contributions and efforts of her work as common spaces are cleaner than ever and she is very sweet whenever we chat. Even with all the turnover, these two individuals are strong staples and assets to the DMC team.
