I have lived here for 7 years and the only reason I'm moving is because we got a house.

This is the best rental property with by far the best property management I've ever experienced. Karmen is the most incredible landlady, and makes you feel so welcome! Very reasonable price point, great appliances, speedy assistance when needed. I'm very sad to say goodbye, and thank you so, so much for everything you've done for us. We appreciate you ❤️

 

 

        New Residents:

                                                We are thrilled with our move and settling in great.

                                                                               Thank you so much

Love this space! The management is very easy to communicate with and very understanding of renters!       Karmen keeps the space clean and safe, she's been a joy to work with. It's very affordable for the size, the dead end street it's located on also keeps the space safe, and there's a golf course close by with a hiking trail. Definitely recommend if you are looking for an affordable, comfortable living space close to Gresham!

5 STARS!

Living at Riva Courtyards has been a great experience! The place is clean, with a solid, well-built design that feels safe and comfortable. The community is respectful and friendly, which makes it feel like home.

Karmen, the property manager, is amazing! She’s always responsive and goes above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly. Whether it’s addressing a concern or making sure the community stays safe and functional, Karmen genuinely cares about the residents and it shows.

If you’re looking for a secure, well-maintained place to live with an awesome manager, I highly recommend!

I’ve had a wonderful experience living at Riva Courtyard Apartments. The apartments are not only spacious but also exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The property management takes pride in keeping everything in top condition.

Karmen, the property manager, has been outstanding from day one. She’s always responsive, professional, and genuinely goes above and beyond to ensure residents are taken care of. Whether it’s handling maintenance requests or just being a friendly, reliable point of contact, Karmen truly makes living here a positive experience.

                Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my choice to live at Riva Courtyard Apartments.                        It’s a fantastic place to call home, thanks to the excellent management and the attention to detail that makes everything run smoothly. Highly recommend!

Amazing management, the facilities are maintained so well, questions answered promptly and any issues that arise are taken care of quickly.

We lived at Riva for a little over 3 years and the reason we moved was because we moved into a house. Karmen was an amazing landlord - extremely attentive and kind. The apartments were very well kept and maintenance was always quick when needed.

We lived here for one year and had a great experience with Karmen the landlord.

She was quick to respond if we needed anything and would always give our dogs treats when we were out for a walk. The apartment had great appliances and nice counters.

My fiancé and I were at Riva Courtyard for a year (our first apartment together) and we were so sad to move. We needed to relocate so I could be closer to work. Karmen is such an amazing landlord which made our move even harder. The apartments were very nice and affordable compared to other places in the area. If we had any issues come up (which was rare) Karmen was always quick to help us. We have two pets so it was super important for us to find a place that would welcome them♥️ We will always remember and miss our home at Riva Courtyard!

I have had a very pleasant experience here at Riva Courtyard! Our landlord, Karmen, has been very easy to work with, accommodating, and does all she can to keep this complex clean and safe! These units have newer appliances which is amazing! Also pet friendly :) Getting to the Max is only a 3 minute walk also. I would love to stay but need to relocate to be closer to work. I would definitely recommend these apartments

I've lived here a few years now, and this has been the best experience I've ever had with an apartment. Karmen is a fantastic landlord who is always ready to help her tenants and always greets us with a genuine smile and cheery "Hello."

They do a great job at communicating and any issues that have ever come up have been handled quickly and efficiently.

Couldn't recommend Riva Courtyard enough.

The Units are Very well appointed with large washer and Dryer. The appliances are very well maintained by the staff { Mike is awesome} the complex is well looked after by one of the nicest managers I have ever had the chance to communicate with . That has to be one of the best things about living there.

I've never felt compelled to write a review for my apartment community before but i'm so proud to write this one today. Riva Courtyard is honestly the best place we have ever lived. Our wonderful Riva staff takes such good care of us, and ensures that we are safe, happy, healthy and in a clean and beautiful environment. Also, I couldn't ask for a better landlord than Karmen. She's so kind, generous, and welcomes you like family. Anything we've ever brought to her has been met with a super quick response and wise solutions. Additionally, they make sure residents are aware of anything happening in the area (including city safety concerns, social happenings, and upcoming events). From Day 1, I knew this was the best decision for us, and I still feel that way almost 3 years later! Thank you for everything.. Karmen! Thank you for your warm welcoming embrace, you have been very kind and thoughtful. 

Very informative, all around cool and understanding. You made me feel at ease to be first time renter.

All good memories living here! Will be in touch!

 Thank you so much for being such a  wonderful manager at Riva. It was wonderful living here!

- Long term residents:

Thanks again, Karmen, for making the apartments welcoming and clean :)

We love it at Riva, couldn’t ask for more!

- I was in transition from selling my house to deciding what my next living location would be when I found Riva Courtyard Apartments. I am handicapped and lived in a first floor 2 bedroom apartment. What a wonderful experience! The apartment layout is open, everything is brand new and clean, the owner/manager is fabulous to work with. I had only one maintenance issue in the year I lived there, and it was taken care of immediately.

It's a 'stroll' to get back and forth from the 148th MAX station. My dog also felt very welcomed by the staff and other tenants. Ruth

My husband and I lived here for about a year, and Karmen is the best landlord we have ever had! We loved living here! They are quick to help whenever you need.

~One of the best living experiences I have had! Very friendly and quiet community that is close to anything you could need! The management team is fantastic, they accommodated everything I asked for and had great response time to any of my concerns!.

 

The community is not too big or small but just the right size and was always kept looking clean and welcoming!

Again, thank you for your help! 1 BD resident

~It is bittersweet. We are very excited about our first home, but at the same time we will miss the trouble-free living at our lovely complex/apartment and the great sense of belonging and community we found here. We will forever look back at this year as one of the happiest exciting times.

 

Thank you for all the hard work and care you put into making Riva Courtyard Apartments a great home for us. Your attention to the property and its residents has always been felt and noticed.

 

We appreciated how problem free our life here was thanks to how well designed and built the property was to begin with and to the continuous maintenance and support. We also appreciated how easy it was to reach your team on a rare occasion of need. Finally, thank you for instilling in us the sense of ownership we felt in our apartment and the property, while providing all the great support to the residents.

 

Wishing you all the best!

*I want to share my gratitude for the time spent here at Riva Courtyard. I enjoyed being part of this community

and thank you again for this place I called home for the past year!

1 Bedroom apartment Riva Courtyard resident

*Just wanted to say thank you very much!

The apartment is definitely one of the best I stayed in and absolutely love the whole place!

-1 Bedroom apartment Riva Courtyard resident 

*In my 11 months at [another Riva Property] in Unit 202, I was able to thoroughly enjoy a spacious, well-maintained, quiet community to live in.  Especially being so close to main streets such as Burnside, 122nd, and Stark, it is amazing how quiet it is inside the apartment, and all the neighbors are very quiet, respecting the set quiet hours.

Karmen, the landlady, was quick to respond to any needs, and was very understanding in the beginning when I had some delays with my bank transferring the money, and very easy to work with.  I will miss that apartment and the community as a whole as I move on to another part of the state.

- Jacob, Resident of Riva Property

Dear Crew of the Riva Courtyard Apartments,

Happy Holiday season to all of you and your Families!

Thank you for your care, support and making our new home such a nice place filled with good people.

We appreciate all you do!

-The Riva Courtyard resident

*I have nothing but positive to say about renting through Riva Properties. The neighbors have always been friendly and the Management team has been available anytime I have called/texted. Anytime I have ever needed something fixed, they had someone over within a day and resolved my issue.

Karmen (Property Manager) has always been very nice; she even sent a moving in gift do my 3 year old daughter.

 I had the opportunity to live in the 2 bedroom apartments and the 1 bedroom apartment. Both were nice in their own ways. I rarely ever could hear the neighbors below or on top of my apartment. I would highly recommend this place to others.
