Aug 2019: Lived in a 3rd floor unit here for 1.5 years and overall had a pretty positive experience.
Some honest takes: the apartments are old, somewhat dingy, and lack AC- but that’s frankly what you pay for. The units are well-insulated, saving utility costs in winter time. Internet is included, but it can get a bit spotty a couple times during the day). Water is also included. Not every unit is the same- yours might, for example, lack a ceiling fan like the one you saw in your tour. The proximity to campus, downtown, and the library is hard to beat. Loved the wooden skywalk and the sizeable yard. Despite what they say, no one ever got towed for not having a pass in that lot. The train noises do take some time to get used to, and something needs to be said for the coal dust. Those trains carry open containers of coal. You may notice trails of black dust in your apartment if you don’t take shoes off at the door, and if you clean the windows, the water will quickly turn black Review from Google Apr 2019: I lived here since 2013 the rent is cheap and affordable. Cable and Internet are included in the rent .gas and electric is what you pay for .The neighborhood is quiet neighbors are friendly .some of the neighbors keep to themselves .It is very close by to downtown Kent .the floors and walls are kinda thin I can hear people walking around above me and talking .people on the 3rd floor don't have to worry about people walking around .the Train can be somewhat annoying it is very loud but usually I block it out other than these things it is a good place to live. Review from Google Jul 2018: This is a very affordable place to live and it's walking distance from the park and downtown Kent. (Oh and there are 2 dumpsters for a reason. don't listen to what others say about trash not having room. Probably just the laziness talking.)

I live there for six years, and never had a problem with anything. And if there was an issue it was resolved in a timely manner Review from Google Feb 2016: I lived there for 2 years until the end of 2015. Went thru 3 ownership changes. Unless you live on the third floor, noise levels for me were terrible. Probably because there is no insulation between floors, or on outside walls, so you hear everything. Trains run constantly at night, and you can't open your windows at night because the train horns echo in the parking lot against the hillside and the building. New management had a problem with complying with the 24 hour required notice to enter apts. to which I threatened legal action if they entered my apt. without prior notice in anything but an emergency. Would you want your landlord to walk in whenever they want with a master key and no notice. Using a convicted criminal who was a non employee to do a maintenance call on a single females apt. with no supervision. Welcome to Riverview. Review from Google
