River Rock Apartments

"My husband and I lived here for two years after renting in DC, New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. There’s a lot to love and a lot to beware of. Loved: • Views (if you’re on the right side of the building) • Huge apartments and rooms • Reasonable utility bills • Safe parking (for a bit extra) • Right next to bus stops and biking trails • Proximity to parks and restaurants • Maintenance is kind and responsive • The rotating cast of office staff were really friendly and as helpful as they could be • No EV chargers, BUT you can get a parking spot near a standard outlet to plug in Didn’t love: • Shifting ownership – we had 3 management companies in our 2 years living there • Difficulty reaching office – because of all the owners, staffing was inconsistent, which could mean bad things for emergency maintenance; a neighbor was locked out all weekend once because no one was around to help • Quality of apartments – We once had water pouring in from our upstairs neighbor’s bathroom; our windows would drip on rainy days and maintenance couldn’t fix it; kitchen faucets drip, even after being replaced; a neighbor had dirty kitchen sink water leaking into her bedroom; the list goes on • Noise – you can hear every footstep from your upstairs neighbors; I’ve had loud neighbors in other cities, but this building turns quiet neighbors into noisy ones • Balconies – AC units expel all their heat right onto the balconies, making them a bit useless on most summer days (even if you turn your AC off to avoid the hot air, many balconies also support your neighbor’s AC units); also be ready to endlessly scare away pigeons, which will poop on everything all the time All in all, I enjoyed my time there. But I was also ready to leave. Just not the right value for the price-point, especially with rent regularly increasing."

"We recently moved into this apartment complex. We were really selective about where we wanted to live, and this location is near a lot of parks and fun activities for our family. We also liked the designs of the apartments. We wanted something that was pet friendly and also a little stylish and easier to clean. Hardy plank flooring throughout and no carpet was a major plus. Since moving in, I can say that everyone who works here has been supportive and friendly. The maintenance team quickly responded to our requests, which is something you don’t find in just any apartment. The property manager has been very responsive as well when we had questions about services. The amenities of the property are what we needed, including secure covered parking spaces for our vehicles and bikes."

"I have been living here for almost 6 months , before moving I was skeptical a bit but once I moved I found I did the right thing . I live here in a river view apartment with a open terrace , which is rare in Mishawaka . Central Park , Beutter park & St Joseph River are in front of my eyes all day long . I enjoy this scenic view to the fullest . My apartment is large enough for 2 of us , secured with modern fittings. River Rock has a beautiful courtyard as well ! My neighbors are decent enough , these buildings are clean , smelled good with great trash disposal facility & one thing I will mention that our property management, they are warm enough ! Since they taken over this property they have been helpful in every possible way ! Only one thing now I need if we have one coffee bar or to go food shop that would have been great !"

"We have lived here for a few months and have thoroughly enjoyed our experience so far. Nice vaulted ceilings, great views, appliances and full kitchen along with high speed internet and cable really helps make this place feel like home. The only points of improvement I would say are our building (117 W Grove St.) doesn't have a working intercom so we can't let guests in without having to meet them at the bottom floor. Also, there isn't an elevator like other parts of the complex. The last thing is our closest neighbor is usually very loud so we can hear them often but our other neighbors we can't hear at all."
