The Rio

As a former resident, I never had any issue, not with maintenance, not with management, everything was always smooth, my roommates were amazing and I still talk to them after 2 years of moving out, The Rio was by best option coming from another country and not having many options to get approved for an apartment, they'll help you getting approved, they have different options for every scenario. I never had an issue that they weren't able to resolve. In other words my experience was incredible.

I just finished my lease here, and overall, I had a great experience. The staff was always friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. ( even people state they don't) I’ll always be thankful they helped in a moment where I couldn't even afford to buy any food. I’ll forever be grateful for that Yes, the apartments are older and could use some updated appliances, but everything worked fine and the place was comfortable. Other than that, it’s a good place to live. Like with any place, everyone’s experience can be different, but I personally felt safe, & well taken care of. The property is clean, well-maintained, and any issues I had were handled quickly. BTW!! recent reviews aren't really accurate. Some people tend to overreact when things don’t go their way, and that hasn’t been my experience at all. They should be checking their email. @Savannah girl pest control goes biweekly!!

Since I started living here I’ve only had positive experiences. I’ve never had any issues with management or maintenance. Everyone is super nice and has consistently treated me with respect and care. I would definitely recommend The Rio to anyone looking for an apartment. Most of the bad reviews come from people who simply didn’t get what they wanted; in my experience, management is always helpful if you take the time to reach out to them. The Rio is a great place for anyone starting their adult life.

Absolutely the worst living situation imaginable. Any 5 star review is from a staff member. The management is ridiculous and made life a living hell. They are by far the greediest apartments ever they'll charge you fees for anything, and wont work with you even after countless times explaining you're going through financial troubles. The management doesnt give a crap about you they care about the money and thats it. If they could charge a fee for breathing they would. Just ridiculous fees , and wheneveri tried contacting management they never answered. The money is not worth the headaches after a lease ends, please look somewhere else

Absolutely the worst living situation imaginable. Any 5 star review is from a staff member. The management is ridiculous and they do not care about their residents. They charge you for things they refuse to explain and are always adding to your balance. Not to mention the apartments have ants, roaches, and even maggots. When mine was infested with maggots they refused to send an exterminator or even maintenance. They just said the new contract they signed with the bug company only allowed for one visit per month?!! This was when we had hundreds of maggots crawling around the floors. I don’t even want to get into the power outages they have that last for multiple days. Whatever you do do not move here.

this is the worse place i have ever moved in. i had so many issues with them, i think the worst situation was dealing with the bedbugs. frustrating management. plus, they get into your PRIVATE ROOM sometimes for “inspection.” they came in while i was asleep . i had frustrating roommates, too. the next time i’m evicted out of a place , whether i violate the lease or not , at least spell the word “entry” right on the letter 😂

Have been here one month and it's been great! Had a good move in experience. Very convenient how close to campus I am. Staff has been helpful and friendly.

PARENTS BEWARE ESPECIALLY FOOTBALL PARENTS…DO NOT ALLOW YOUR KIDS TO STAY HERE. MANAGEMENT IS TERRIBLE AND WILL LIE. DO NOT SIGN ANY LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THESE PEOPLE. POWER IS CONSTANTLY BEING TURNED OFF LEADING TO SPOILED FOOD AND SEVERAL NIGHTS/DAYS OF NO POWER. AND THE FEES ARE RIDICULOUS!!!! DO NOT MOVE HERE!

The Rio doesn't care for its residents, you put a work order they take forever to repair it, when moving in they can't even do a proper fogging for insects/fleas. They fogged it twice when I was moving in and there were still flea's, spider nests under the couches, it was not a presentable apartment. The workers come into your apartment as they please and we had workers fix our door and they left it wide open for a good two hours. One of the buildings the siding is coming off and they don't even bother to repair it. When moving out as well they will try to find anything to charge you considering the damages were already there, they still want to try and charge you for those damages. Overall, these apartments are not worth it. You can find so much better. The whole staff there just don't care about its residents, if there is an issue, they're quick to tell you just make a complaint, after you make a complaint nothing gets resolved. Then the whole gate issue with them telling you "the exit gate is for exiting and the entrance is for just entering using the wrong entrance you will get fined" they don't enforce the rules there. They say use the exit gate for exiting only but they leave the exit gate open 24/7. Moving in late into these apartments for example moving in on the 22 on a month they will charge you full months rent while still having to pay full rent next month on the first. This whole complex managers to workers don't care about its residents at all. You will find better trust these apartments are not as good as you think you will regret living there. The whole complex is just dirty as well no effort into keeping it clean.

Safe, clean, affordable! Love the friendly staff and friendlier residents! When looking at The Rio you should see a great starter apartment. The helpful staff always looks out for the residents to make sure everything is going smooth. The 24/7 maintenance is also very convenient!

The absolute worst place to rent from. It seems like you are getting a good deal because they offer rent at a very cheap price but you get what you pay for here. First the manager Oralia is very rude and doesn't know how to handle anything. She is very unprofessional and completely useless. Also many of the people who work in the office don't know what customer service is they are just as rude as Oralia and are helpless to minor questions. The lease contract is designed to only protect them and not help the renters at all, in fact I think it screws the renter over completely. I complained many times about problems I was having with my roommates and instead of helping solve the issue they gossiped about it with said roommates and created a very hostile environment for me and those roommates. As said in the contract you can't do anything about unresolved issues with roommates besides make complaints. The whole complex is disgusting and dirty and they do not care about cleaning it when you ask, or they will say it was cleaned when there is proof no one has even looked at the disaster. When I was moving out they gave me a very hard time and added extra charges to things that I should not have been charged for and refused to wave those charges. I do not recommend these apartments to any student, it cause more of a headache then a peaceful happy environment. I would also like to add there are many more unfair things that took place while I was living here but the above is to put it all in short.

The Veranda Place apartments have been a disappointment for me. I am from out of town and didn't know the area, seeing that Veranda Place was a newer luxury apartment, I thought it looked great. The first day I arrived, there were some signs of the poor management. First off, I was charged for some extra fees that I had not been made aware of. Next, when I went up to my room (no initial walk through) I found my room and apartment filthy. In my bedroom, there were boogers all over the walls and window sills. The exterior of the apartment is disgustingly filthy. The stairs, landing and breezeways are covered with dog poop and other caked on scum, maybe throw up. I have been asking them to spray them down for six weeks, every time they say they will and I receive a confirmation of the completed work however, it has not been done. Dog poop is still there. In my apartment, four people are on the lease yet 6 live here. One of the girls is only 17. My room mate and I were concerned about the extra people and the energy bills so we tried to talk about it with management. The management said they would take care of the issue and that it would be confidential. Managements idea of confidential is not similar to mine. They came up to my apartment when I wasn't home and told the poor 17 year old girl that my room mate and I had questioned her living there. When I got home from work, she told me everything. I went to question the management about their "confidentiality" and Oralia ( the manager) lied to me, saying the girl had made it all up. The biggest issue I am having with Veranda Place is managements little respect for privacy. They enter the residences without 24 hour notice to leave notices, among other things. When I asked for a 24 hr notice to enter in the future, they said they don't have to give notice. Twice this week I have come home to random paperwork from Veranda inside my locked bedroom. This has made me so uncomfortable, I have had to call my attorney to carefully review the contract. Looking at a previous review on Yelp that was marked not suggested, I became extremely worried about my move out costs. I feel Veranda will try to charge me for painting etc when it obviously was not freshly painted when I moved in. My lease was only two months and I am never here, I only sleep here. This apartment is a big time scammer apartment complex, they don't make any repairs ever and then charge excessive fees for everything. Paying rent online will cost you an extra $18.00. There is a nice apartment complex next door, wish I had looked there. Do not rent here.

This place is so ridiculously cheap. They show you the nice model apartment to sell you out and get a contract. They don't explain how if you don't like the place or your roommates you can't leave with a contract fee. You have to suck it up or get a bad credit. They give you a simple profile what are to be your roommates and when you finally move its like a trash bin. They say all girls only. Well your roommates and yourself have as many guest over to spend the night because it's not affiliated with school. The day you leave if some renewed their contract and they have a mess the day of inspection you will be charged for it. They say rent it $395! Nope you will pay $450 to $500 a month !! The electricity bill is insane! Don't lease here!! They will screw you over! The pool is disgusting! Think about all the bacteria in there. And the lobby staff are so helpless and rude. The manager pretends to help you but she doesn't give a fuck.
