The Park House - Riverbank

Parkhouse is all flash and no substance.The apartments and amenities look nice enough, but are cheaply made and constantly have issues. We have been here ~six months and have already had issues with the ceiling fan, balcony door, bathroom lights, rubbish chute, public projector and roller door multiple times.Management is unnecessarily strict, making you sign a contract when you enter saying you won’t sue them if you injure yourself on the premises (even if they’re at fault), not letting you use the projector or golf room unless you have booked 48 hours prior (even if it’s currently unoccupied) and do not respond to your messages. You will however, receive constant emails from the staff which consists of unnecessary communication e.g. garbage chute being blocked and fixed within the same day. It seems people are leaving faster than they are coming in, and we will certainly be joining them at the end of our lease.

Rented an apartment in Parkhouse for a year and the only good thing about it was that Victoria Gardens is across the street.The apartment was supposedly brand new but the paint was cheap and would scratch even when you accidentally brush up against the wall. The apartment was so small and the cupboards were ridiculously high that even step stools were of no help.The building was also unnecessarily strict, with moves banned on weekends and a strict “no exemption to the rules”. As echoed in the other review, you will receive a flurry of emails from the management - such as “do not push off water from your balcony if you are washing your balcony as it will fall onto the balcony under you”.As stated below, amenities and location are top tier but if you are planning to make this your home, I would highly reconsider.

The Apartments are very spacious and newly built. The amenities on offer are world class like Swimming pool , Sauna, Virtual golf, theatre etc. Its kept very clean and tidy thanks to the management. Both the managers are very polite and hardworking. Overall a very nice apartment if you want to rent or buy. The only issue is the car park is a shared carpark with another building and a hotel. Also the Victoria Gardens shopping precinct is just bang opposite and also a tram line.
