I lived in RPT for 10 years and everyday I went to work, I walked out of that building with the intention of stacking my money to buy a house. I always knew I would get out. The conditions in which the people live are horrendous. It makes no sense that humans collect rent every month, and will hunt you down if you're late, but you have to live in such deplorable conditions. I lived in building 40 for the entire time that I stayed there and my family and I were greeted every evening as we came in by the local crackheads begging for change or offering to do silly jobs for you (like tie your child's shoe) to make a buck. While there I realized that it didn't matter how clean my apartment was because we were competing with the smell of the incinerator which made my house smell like s**t. It also didn't matter how decked out it was because the walls were always cracking from leaks in the pipes that caused bubbles in the walls that would eventually burst and damage your property. The people in the management office downstairs know absolutely nothing about managing and lose your paperwork everytime you go to recertify for your rental amount and then they end up sending you a letter saying you're missing something. They had the audacity before I moved in, to come out to my previous home and do a house visit to see the conditions in which I lived as if River Park Towers was going to be so much better. Refrigerators have been thrown out of the window, fires started in the incinerators, rapists lurking in the staircase, and the store clerk will insult you just because he has nothing else to do. Just to show you how bad it really is, I knew a woman that fell on the property and she was in the process of suing RY Mgmt because it was due to their negligence during the winter time. She was allowed to live there for free during the court case, which she was sure to win. After 3 months she moved out. Look at that, people won't even live there for free. Horrible!!!!!!
Pros: Supermarket on the grounds
Cons: Everything else
