The real gem at these properties is the management, Twila is always available and gets things fixed asap. She is also proactive, as is maintenance. The property is kept up and well maintained. The units are spacious! This is the place to be!!!

The apartment itself is decent but overpriced for what you get. The property manager is hard to get ahold of and is rarely in her office. The office isnt even in this complex so you have to drive to another to drop of rent, etc. We have had multiple maintenance requests go unnoticed despite several attempts to get the issues resolved. They are more focused on preparing vacant apartments than handling requests for current tenants. The WiFi that comes with the apartment is horrific and is always going out, if you plan on working from home this is not ideal. There are random cars frequently abandoned

I have had the best experience living at River Birch Apartments. Twilla has been so great to work with! If I had any maintenance requests, they were addressed that day. The location is great. Minutes from the University and close to amazing restaurants and grocery stores! I would recommend River Birch apartments to everyone!

My time at River Birch was great! Huge apartments with oversized closets and tons of kitchen cabinets! My unit also had a great patio overlooking the pond. Twila and her team are always helpful and get things fixed quickly
