Avalon Riverview
2024 May 05
5 stars to the most wonderful, friendly, efficient concierge - Wilkins is a true gem and has been throughout our years at Avalon. Always greets us in a genuine way, chats with the kids, and goes above and beyond so often.
(side note: I do not really love that the public building reviews need to be used for sharing our appreciation to the staff, but I'm willing to set my reservations aside for Wilkins because he deserves a shoutout.)

About the building itself...we love our apartment, the location is wonderful and the views incredible. Bedrooms are larger than those in most buildings nearby. Soundproofing is good, noise is mostly heard from the hallway only.
Concierges (though the turnover has increased in the past years - making special people like Wilkins even more appreciated) and maintenance (special mention for Carlos) are great.
Amenities were renovated since we moved in 2014 but often need improvements (pool cleanliness, barbecues not functioning). Elevators have gone really wrong in the past 2 years with frequent outages causing long wait times.
The main downside are the rent increases, not making tenants feel valued as community members, but just cash cows.
My "living here" rating would be 3 stars due to the above.
