RIVER CITY APARTMENT LIVING! I absolutely love living in River City Apartments.
All staff have been so friendly and helpful. I didn't have to wait long for my issue to be resolved. The maintenance man fixed my dishwasher in no time.
I look forward to a long future here!

Great place to stay Had a good experience living in the place, the only two downsides are the forced air conditioning, and and drinkable water from kitchen sink. Had to buy purified water in gallon.
