AVOID LIVING HERE

While living at the property, we had numerous issues, all of which would take weeks to resolve or simply would not be fixed all together. The toilets in both of the bedrooms would constantly clog no matter what we did to prevent it happening. The water pressure was terrible and we had multiple issues with fire alarms going off in the middle of the night.

The gate is almost always broken and will stay broken for a period of time. One of the reasons we moved there was for the restricted access,...
but it almost always broken/open.

Multiple car, break-ins and notices from the management, telling us it had happened.
The management is awful and a major reason why we moved out.

Hello, as the new Property Manager at the Bluffs, first I want to thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Sharing your experiences is a way to improve. I am sorry you had that experience before I became the Property Manager and can assure... you that these occurrences are not associated with the Bluffs today. We hope you are nested in your forever home and always just a phone call away if you ever reconsider under new Management, we will gladly welcome you back anytime!

Amazing Location

I love this community just off the beaten path right in the heart of 280. Amazing office team, very responsive and always helpful. You can't be the floorplans huge closets, exterior storage.

Luxury Prices, Low-rent Experience

The Bluffs at Riverview advertise the apartments as "Luxury Apartments" and charge as if they are. However, the apartments are NOT MAINTAINED like luxury apartments.

A standard maintenance request for something as simple and common as a leaking faucet is currently taking weeks to solve. The maintenance guy took a quick look, decided he didn't want to bother fixing it, so declared he would order us a new one. It's been several weeks and we haven't heard back. When followed up about it, we were...
simply told "We've got one on order." Really? Like isn't that about the most common repair in the world? You don't have any on hand? Ever?

Some amenities that are advertised and charged handsomely for are not available. For instance, the car wash station has been available about 2-3 weeks over the last 10 months. There's a water problem. A water problem that they've know about for almost a year. The water problem remains, with apparently nothing done about it.

It is supposed to be a "gated community." However, the front gate hasn't been able to close for about a month now. This happens regularly.

The key-card access to the clubhouse gym stopped working for several months, during winter no less, meaning that the gym was unavailable to normal 9-5 workers for several months.

Turnover among staff has been horrendous. That includes both office staff and maintenance staff. For some reason, the good ones get run off (or perhaps keep finding a "better situation"). This sort of staff turnover suggests that the upper management/owners are not good people to work for.

I could go on with similar examples, but you get the point. They charge premium prices, but do not provide a premium product/service. Buyer beware!

Property Manager at The Bluffs at Riverview responded to this review

We are truly sorry to hear you are having issues and would love you to call our office and speak to the management direclty. We agree that the amenities need to be working and are so incredibly sorry for the inconvenience. Our gate company gets the... parts as quickly as they can and we follow up daily if anything goes wrong with the access system. We have spoken to other gate companies to try to get the repairs done more quickly but they all agree, it does take time to get the parts and that is very unfortunate. We have also spoken to other apartment community managers to see if we can find another gate company that could possibly get the parts quicker, but they say they are also having the same issues. The car wash is working properly and again, we repair these issues as quickly as we possibly can. Please call us directly and let us know what issues you are currenly having so we can make sure they get addressed right away. We look forward to hearing from you
