Death Trap Apartments
September 17, 2025A close friend asked me to share their experience with River Ridge Apartments (NHE Inc., Greenville SC) after what they went through. I'm posting this because people deserve to know what they're potentially getting into. It seems River Ridge makes an effort to delete all negative reviews in an effort to portray themselves in a better light to potential residents. My friend lived through the devastating 2024 Swannanoa River flooding that hit this property hard. They witnessed 68 units getting ...damaged, with 34 ground-floor units completely destroyed. Water reached ceiling levels in many units, leaving toxic sludge and aggressive mold throughout the buildings while severely compromising foundations. What really upset my friend was the company's response. Instead of proper remediation, they report that NHE is simply painting over flood damage rather than properly addressing the serious structural issues. The company forced longtime residents, including elderly tenants who had lived there for decades, into new leases at much higher rates while simultaneously offering new tenants move-in specials. It felt like they were taking advantage of people who had nowhere else to go during their most vulnerable time. Even before the flooding disaster, my friend dealt with ongoing problems at River Ridge. The insulation was so poor that utility bills were astronomical, and some elderly residents had to duct tape windows just to stay warm. Persistent mold and ventilation problems plagued most buildings, while paper-thin walls meant you could hear and smell everything from neighboring units. The common areas and amenities were poorly maintained, and residents faced annual rent increases of $150 to $300 or more. My friend genuinely cares about preventing others from going through what they experienced. Asheville is a wonderful city with many great housing options, and you don't need to settle for a property with these kinds of serious concerns about safety and management practices. Please do your own research and consider all options carefully, because your safety and financial well-being matter. Shared with permission to help others make informed decisions.Property Manager Responded
September 18, 2025Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your friend’s experience and understand their concerns. We’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further with the resident directly. They may contact the community manager at riverridge@nhe-inc.com so we can address any specific issues and clarify the situation. Best regards, River Ridge Managment Team

Homeless and car break-ins
July 21, 2019River Ridge has always had a homeless problem. There are several camps and management does nothing, including clean them up. Garbage is piling up and there are needles left behind. There is a big one on top of a hill between the apartments and Walmart shopping center. There are many car break-ins.Review from Apartments.com
old apartments but new prices
July 21, 2019This are 30 year old apartments but they charge new apartment rents. They also go up every year no matter how long you have been there or your payment record. There are problems with plumbing, air/hear and windows. If your neighbors smoke - good luck - your apartment will smell like smoke. They only have 2 maintenance people so it takes a long time to get anything fixed. Management does not care.Review from Apartments.com
River Ridge Apartments
January 21, 2019I requested a mold test for my bathroom. I have had an ongoing leak from the upstairs tub. But they refused, and instead told me if I did not like it, I could move. So now I am going to do the test myself and proceed with any legal ramifications. Neighbor says she too has seen mold. These are 30 year old apartments.Review from Apartments.com
Run away
September 11, 2016The apartment was ok. It was old and dated but location was perfect. My negative rating is because after I moved they charged me $700 for some reason. They kept my deposit and I was not sent a email, letter, or called. I am an disabled veteran that alway paid my rent on time and now I have to dispute these charges on my credit report.Review from Apartments.com
River Ridge Apartments
July 28, 2015I live in a very safe apartment complex surrounded by a lovely, scenic view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The management is always there to help if we need anything fixed. I recommend River Ridge Apartments for a quality place to call home.Review from Apartments.com
There's nothing like a little peace and quiet.
July 21, 2015We've left the cranked-up bass and parking wars of Northern city life behind! Of course, that can happen anywhere, but turning into our parking lot is such a mellow, pleasant experience here. The apartment is affordable and roomy, and the entire property is well maintained. We actually know and speak to our neighbors... not many can say that anymore! The pool is great, the gym in great, the clubhouse is great, there are garden plots and grilling areas available, and really, at night all we hear ...are crickets. Getting to the city is a 10-minute drive, and there are multiple bus stops only a short walk away. All in all, it's the best move we ever made.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
