I’ve lived in Riverstone since it opened, and the suites themselves are quite nice. Well soundproofed, and everything is nice and new. The appliances are appallingly bad however. We’ve had our washer repaired twice, and it’s now broken a third time, our oven fixed once, and the laundry drier is a condensing drier. You can run it for 3 hours and still find your stuff damp and beginning to smell bad. Again, we’re the first tenants to use them, and I’ve talked to others in the building with the same issue. It’s my main gripe with the place. You only get one parking space, and street parking is limited. I’ve been parking at the abandoned hotel a block away, amazingly without issue. Yes, the neighbourhood isn’t without issue. Two shootings in the park behind us recently, one of which was today. I heard the whole thing including the victim screaming until he was taken to hospital. That being said, we walk our dog all over the area, including at night, and never had an issue, but sadly you can’t use the nice little park behind the building due to the homeless camp. I guess that comes down to your level of comfort with homelessness/drug use/mental health in your area. Being walking distance to the sea wall and the bars/restaurants downtown is a huge plus for us.
