Pros:
Management- Felicia Carpenter is kind, efficient, great at communicating, and just overall very helpful any time I go into the office to ask about something. She makes living here better because I know there's someone dependable I can reach out to.
Quiet- Sometimes my upstairs neighbors stomp a little, but overall the complex is quiet, and people keep to themselves but are friendly. I think that says a lot considering how close to the main road it is.
Maintenance- I rarely see them but when I get home whatever needed to be done is done.
Price- For the location, and the size of my 1 bedroom apartment, I think it's very reasonable.
Cons:
Parking- Generally I don't have an issue but if someone has two or three guests in different cars, it can be a struggle (rare). But usually there's always a few open spots on the side I live on.
Dumpster- Ultimately not our problem, but it can get very full and some might spill out.
Conclusion:
My opinion of the place is positive and I would recommend living here. If you're a regular person and need a decent place to live, I'd recommend it.

My husband and I moved here in 2023 while pregnant with our first baby. We planned to save for a year and move into a house after our lease was up. He was starting his business, so an affordable place in a good part of town sounded great.
Red Bank is fantastic. The sense of community, the safety, the local spots, all make Red Bank a gem. Notice Riverside North Apartments are NOT included in that list.
I’m not sure what the “renovated units” sign refers to but if it’s the sloppy layers upon layers of paint, drywall peeling in every corner, and old appliances then I would beg to differ.
There was a week-long issue with the apartment-wide alarm system going off randomly. Loud and bright, especially in a small one bedroom unit, it would disrupt our sleep and terrify our cat. There were several days when maintenance would show up with no warning and knock AS they came in. One morning at 8:00 am I had to jump out of bed to lock my bedroom and closet since I was nursing my newborn and had no time to even put on a shirt before a man was barging in the front door.
Landscaping comes every week without fail, but in the June our AC went out and STILL was not resolved three weeks later. It was up to 80 degrees inside. To top it all off, the day after we put in the maintenance request we still hadn’t heard anything… but they were totally available to leave a letter on our door letting us know our rent was a day late and we would be charged over $100 because of that! Love the dedication. I actually had to reach out to the office myself when we hadn’t heard anything from them or maintenance about our AC and we were told to “let them know if the temperature reached 85!” Because 80 is so much more comfortable than 85 right?
They apparently have plenty of time for tending rose bushes and writing letters full of typos, but no time to fix an AC unit during one of the hottest months of the year for a family with a baby. And don’t count on cooling off in the pool that still isn’t open!
More than a month before our lease was up we were lucky to secure our new house and left the unit. The week before we moved into we had thousands of ants crawl out from under the carpet in our closet and get everywhere. This was pretty much our last straw. We ultimately had no other choice than to move out early to protect the health and wellbeing of our child and our own mental sanity.
Of course we still owe and will pay our remaining rent for the empty and blazing hot unit. I should mention I did reach out to the actual company that owns this property with my frustrations and received no response. A week after our AC request we were picking up boxes to take to the house when maintenance came by for the first time. He let us know the office “likes them to fix AC issues quickly!” and it would only take him 20 minutes to fix! WOW! I wouldn’t consider a week quickly, but the fact that two weeks after that it still wasn’t working definitely does not seem quick to me.
Please do yourself a favor and don’t give them your money. We’re lucky to be able to afford our house and the remaining rent for this sad excuse of an apartment at the same time, and I know everyone isn’t that privileged. But if you live here you’ll end up spending more than you think.
Pet fees, bug spray, $16 biweekly spent on every load of laundry (because you’ll have to take it across the street where it’s more expensive, the dryers in the laundry facility on site burn the clothes and smell awful), the security bar for your front door to keep maintenance from walking in suddenly, and the box fan you’ll need to buy for yourself to avoid a heat stroke add up to much, much more than the up front cost.
I honestly feel bad for the many office managers. The staff turnover rate is high and I can’t blame people for quitting as soon as they start. If you become frustrated that every time you bring up an issue to them they claim “it’s the first time they’re hearing of this!” it’s because it probably is. The manager you talked to last week is not the manager anymore. It’s a dumpster fire of a situation.
