RISE at Riverfront Crossings

"I would not live here again. All the good staff is gone and has moved to the Hive. The apartments come absolutely disgusting and almost all the amenities don’t work. The Jumbotron doesn’t work and all the games in the game room are broken or never on. It reeks of weed on every floor or it smells of some kind of funk. I feel robbed."

"DO NOT SIGN HERE. Management is terrible, they give empty promises. I have been told numerous times that I would have a cheaper rate than what they actually gave me. Both my friends and I (on different occasions) were told that rent would be $1000, by both employees and the property manager, yet we made a rookie mistake and forgot to get it in writing. Then they presented the $1119 a month, which was my roommate's and I last choice but everything else had been taken, so we signed. Boy, was that a mistake. I have been screwed over many times by the Rise. The renewal rate they gave me for next year is a joke: $5 cheaper a month. PLEASE READ THIS PART!! WHEN THEY TELL YOU THAT THE LEASING STARTS ON AUGUST 15 DUE TO THE "FIRST TWO WEEKS IS A DEEP CLEAN OF APARTMENTS", DO NOT BELIEVE IT. I fell for this. I got into my apartment after those two "deep cleaning weeks" and there was pink paint (leftover from previous tenants), splotches on the couch, fridge, both bedrooms, bathrooms, and more. There is torn up carpet, patches in the walls, missing closet doors, and more. This so called "deep cleaning" is only so that they can scam you out of half of your rent for the month. Additionally, management will not take care of tenants that smoke or other disturbances that us renters have encountered. And do not get fooled by events and amenities. I have not seen a single person swimming in the pool, the outdoor grills used, any movie play on that large outdoor movie screen, or anyone in the arcade. Their "coffee station" is only a single coffee machine that gets dirty easily and once in a millennia will they put out pastries just so they can post it on their social media to show what they "do for their renters". Do not be tempted by this empty promise as well. I have contacted the Rise multiple times about my inquiries and frustrations and the outcome is either no response, or a general "we cannot do anything about 'X'". Please consider this review and go to any other place than the Rise. I do not write reviews, yet this was bad enough that I have to warn other people. Look at the Nest, Banks, Hawks Ridge, etc. if you want to book with a big facility. But please please please stay away from the Rise. EDIT: The renewal office just called a day after I got the renewal lease offer (which I had a couple of weeks to decide) and said that corporate said that I only have until the end of the day to decide if I want to renew or not. I got less than 48 hours. Ridiculous."

"Rise has the most attentive and amazing staff! I’ve had the best experience here. The amenities this building has to offer are incredible. I took a tour with Ethan Kuhr who did an amazing job explaining everything and answering any questions we had. When signing my lease I worked with Megan Tuite, who made the process stress free and gave us great advice about living near campus. In my opinion, this complex is the best place in the city for students, but would be great for people of all ages. Overall, I can’t say enough good things about my experience with this building and the staff who take such great care of the residents."

"I have loved living here at Rise, the staff is very welcoming and super friendly. They have made my time here so enjoyable. The amenities this building offers is absolutely crazy. They have a workout facility with tons of equipment and a sauna. They also have tons of study space which has helped me meet people and get my homework done outside of my apartment. I will never live anywhere else I love it here! I recommend living here a million times over."

"I love Rise especially the staff. Specifically, Ethan is a spectacular member of the rise team. His professionalism, kindness, consideration, etc while I was signing my lease for my apartment was very impressive. His professionalism is so exquisite that I highly recommend visiting this apartment complex if interested. Also, if you like sitting by the pool, watching the sports game on a huge screen, playing pool or ping pong, or even just going to the gym... it is all there for you right on the fourth floor! Ethan has given me an unmatched tour around that area that just sold me even more. Rise is the way to go."
