Riverhouse is great. My unit is pretty renovated, but I have noticed differences in unit quality depending on who owns the condo. Overall, I have had a great experience here!

Great for the value

My apartment has been great, and maintenance was reasonable with timeline for requests. The apartment is nice and renovated, but there is a lot of variability from condo to condo because each place is owned by a different landlord.

Riverhouse Condos are very spacious apartments. There are in various states of renovation/updates as they are each individually owned. Price generally reflects the amount of renovation that has been done to the unit. Gas (including heat) is included which helps with the cost. Parking spaces are sometimes included, sometimes not. There have been issues with power outages, short-term water shut-offs for construction. There is very little natural light in most units.

Is it the nicest apartment to live in? No, but for what our rent is and for parking included, we can't beat it. The units in Riverhouse vary in condition, but usually are priced higher in the nicer places. We also very much appreciate that there is AC centralized. They are also owned by individual landlords, so your experience could depend on how responsive of a landlord you have. Our landlord is amazing and hires a great maintenance person. Our unit needed several repairs when we moved in, but they were fixed quickly over the course of several weeks.

I live in an updated Riverhouse condo and absolutely love it. It has great space and a good kitchen layout (most of the updates went into kitchen). Bedrooms are sizeable with good closets. My one and only complaint is no in-house laundry services. Some of the other updated units include washer/dryer, but not ours. Its a short walk outside to the laundry room and costs $1.25 each for wash/dry. Overall pretty minor complaint for what we are getting for the money.

Good value for the price & one of the more affordable options with roommates. Units are very landlord-dependent so would recommend trying to see it in person if possible. Lots of space and storage but not a lot of natural light. Really quiet and close to parks + easy to drive out of Ann Arbor.

Living in Riverhouse is peaceful and a short walk to the medical campus. I am very close to the river, a great spot to stroll around if you need a break from studying.

There is only one covered parking spot per apartment.

The walls are pretty thin.

No food nearby, and one would need a car to get groceries.

Each condo is owned by individual landlords, so your experience may vary. I had to put in a good bit of work to get the apartment cleaned up when I moved in. For the price, it's hard to beat. I will say that the walk is longer than expected just based on the fact that Riverhouse is quite large (certain units are a good bit closer to the medical school than others).

Overall, I've really enjoyed my time living in Riverhouse. The location is ideal for walking to the medical school and the unit is spacious and affordable. I will note that not all units at Riverhouse are equal. My condo has not been updated in many years, whereas other units have updated kitchens and bathrooms. Due to the age of the condo, I think we have more maintenance issues than other units.
