I’d love to say , Christina at the leasing office is the most sweetest thoughtful being I’ve met in a long time. From last year when i moved in until now , everything is always in order. The gifts , the laughs , the thoughtfulness to upgrade my apartment to something larger and better. Riverhill itself is also an amazing community , 1 year down for me and more to come! ☺️ if you are questioning moving to Riverhill , think no more. It’s a gorgeous place with amazing staff.
