Riverton at Davis Springs

I moved into the Riverton at Davis Springs three years ago. I hope that my next apartment complex can come close to the excellent level of service and respect that I have felt while living at this Greystar property. I wouldn’t even think about leaving except for the fact that my new job is based in San Antonio. The rates for this apartment complex are fair especially with the daily influx of people arriving in Austin. The pool and hot tub are well maintained and open fairly late. The staff was friendly, outgoing and willing to go that extra mile to help, up until the day I left. Parking is not an issue as I have heard it could be in other properties. I have always found a spot close to my apartment. All in all don’t overlook the Riverton it is a quality place to live at a reasonable price.

if you’re looking for a great property, that is safe, clean and stays maintained Riverton at Davis Springs is an overlooked jewel of a property. I must say that like other properties the customer doesnt matter, but I found that when I reached out to Riverton at Davis, about a important issue, it was taken care of very quickly. Great service and a lovely location for those who are looking for a nice place to call home.

Apartment was pretty nice, Gates often broke and wouldnt open or close which is bad. My car port that i paid 20 dollars a month for was always taken but they never cared when I asked why. There was one really sweet girl that worked in the office but the others were rude. I had to pay over 1000 dollars to move out but meh. Apartment life what can ya do. Also the dog park is just dirt no grass which mostly meant mud:(.

I’ve been here for over two years. Unlike the other reviewers I’ve had a good experience here. Yes there are residents who think they don’t have to go by the rules. This is apartment living, not home living. Part of the issue here is that the complex seems to be at near capacity. There are so many people moving to Austin and so few apartments. This is the issue at every complex. Is it as peaceful as it was 2 years ago? Not really. But it’s not that bad for an apartment.
The staff are great. I think I know which staff member the recent reviewer was talking about. She’s gone.
Every Monday and Friday they take your trash from curbside and on Wednesdays it’s recyclables. Great feature. Yes some people are inconsiderate and leave their trash out the day before.
Nice small little gym with everything you need. Well maintained too.
The entire complex is well maintained.
As far as noise. Let’s first remember this is apartment living. My neighbor next door had this habit of yelling at her boyfriend (or is it husband?) at 11:30 pm every night for about an hour and then resume at 5:30am. It was the weirdest thing. I called the office to complain. Noise problem solved… For about a week. Then she resume. Happened a few more times. Complained every time. Then one night she sounded so violent I thought she was going to kill the guy. I complained the next day and told them I was ready to call the police. They said they would take care of it and sure enough, problem solved. A first I thought she moved but she still lives here. It took over a month and some ear plugs to get through it but it’s resolved.
Whenever I read apartment reviews I take them with a grain of salt and you should too. Some people have unrealistic expectations, are impatient and want things fixed instantly.
My pluses on this place:
— helpful, friendly and polite staff
— well maintained facility considering how many residents live here
— turnaround on maintenance is excellent. Just please be friendly to the maintenance staff. The stories they tell me about how some residents treat them is infuriating. It’s amazing how much better you’ll be treated if you’re friendly and considerate.
— great location off parmer. Far enough away from railroad tracks.
— I have a 2 bedroom and it’s very spacious and well laid out. Have an attached garage which is awesome if you can get
Minuses
— ac units for all the units around me are next to my window. This sucks because apparently I have penguins living next to me and they love running the ac ²⁴⁄₇. So it’s loud and I can rarely stay on my patio.
— one bedroom gets poor airflow so it’s either a lot warmer in the summer or colder in the winter. That’s the builder’s fault like the ac units.
So at this point I’m looking to buy a house and it might take a while which means I might have to stay longer than planned. But I don’t really mind because I really do like living here.

Disclaimer: This review is more target toward the staff of Riverton Apartments than the actual apartment complex itself.
During my brief stay at Riverton Apartments I learned one thing for sure, the girl that works up front is the least helpful, most condescending person I have ever met.
You would think that an apartment complex would have nice, helpful front desk help, but at Riverton that is not the case. I was moving in with a friend that already lived there. I contacted the office to see if it was possible for me to swing by Sunday and sign my paperwork and write a check for the deposit. This particular employee informed me over the phone that she was the only one working in the office and was «too busy» and that I should do everything online and come by another day.
Fine, whatever I didn’t want to drive all the way up north just to waste my time anyway.
After living there for a couple of weeks, due to unforseen circumstances my roomates and I decided to move. I had just had my mail set up to be forward to Riverton, so therefore I again had to change my address information. I had purchased concert tickets prior to moving in at Riverton and had them shipped there b/​c thats where I thought I’d be living when they arrived.
When I never received the tickets through mail forwarding, I went by Riverton where again the same condescending employee was the only one in the office. I explained to her that I recently moved and that there may be a package in the office for me. She informed me that the office «does not sign for peoples packages and gives them back to the postal service worker.» I asked her if she could give a message to the person who lived in my old apartment and she said she was not allowed to put messages in residents mailboxes or get in their mail boxes.
This all seemed funny to me as my current apartment complex puts slips in our mailboxes notifying us there is packages in the office for us. I then took it upon myself to go to my old apartment and ask the person who lived there if they had my package. She told me she had gotten a note in the mail box and took it back to the office and told them to contact the old resident as it was not hers.
So basically said employee is a liar who doesn’t want to help people who don’t live at Riverton, much less those who do. I don’t think Riverton would be a bad place to live otherwise.
Moral of the story: This lazy Riverton employee needs to get off her lazy ass or get fired. But I liked their pool.

Great community, great rates, Staff is awesome! Already resigned an extension. Not one problem, but I only wish I had a gate to walk thru to the Shipley Do-​Nuts, Burger King or convenience store.

Friendly staff, quick maintance, clean, and nice neighbors. I can’t complain about anything so far and am looking forward to renewing for another year! Thanks Riverton!
