Reviews

Long-term residents often describe a clean building with friendly doormen and same-day maintenance for routine repairs. The strongest criticism concerns a major elevator project and larger problems, including leaks, pests and account disputes, that residents say did not receive the same quick resolution.

What residents praise

Routine maintenance is often fast

Residents praise the superintendent and maintenance team for resolving ordinary apartment requests quickly, often within the same day.

The front desk is usually helpful

Several long-term residents describe the doormen as friendly and professional, although a smaller set reports poor individual interactions.

The waterfront amenities are useful

Residents value the roof terrace, pool, pickleball courts, gym and easy access to the riverfront and Newport PATH.

What residents complain about

Elevator waits can dominate daily life

Residents describe long-running construction, repeated outages and ten- to fifteen-minute waits, with move-ins making weekends especially difficult.

Leaks, mold and pests need apartment-level checks

Critical accounts mention recurring drains and leaks, mold, roaches and smoke entering apartments or shared areas.

Larger disputes can be hard to resolve

Former residents describe unanswered deposit questions and weak follow-through once a problem moves beyond routine maintenance.

Amenities

Riverside has a 24-hour attended lobby, shared laundry room, fitness center and roof deck. Residents have garage parking within Newport and access to the Newport Swim & Fitness club’s indoor pool.
