    Amy, and the entire staff at Wrights Point made our family’s move easy and effortless. Apartment was perfect at move in and looks just like the photos online. Can’t wait to enjoy the pool, and rent the clubhouse for a graduation party. Valet trash service- it doesn’t get any better than this!

    Nice place but outside upkeep is lacking. Trash around complex, entry ways not kept clean, Apts and outside areas and upkeep are showing their age for the amount of money we are paying in rent

    I've been here for two years, and I enjoyed all aspects, from location to the people I've meet at riverboat both, staff and residence. And since the new management it's even been better than previous.
