Abbey at Riverchase
The Abbey at Riverchase, formerly the Galleria Crossings Apartments, is a 321-unit apartment complex located at 3708 Lodge Drive and along Longleaf Drive, behind the River Oaks Village and Lorna Brook Village shopping centers, in Hoover's Riverchase subdivision.
The Galleria Crossings complex was acquired by Frank Barefield Jr's Abbey Residential LLC in 2012 and later renamed.
Apartments in the complex's seventeen buildings range from 768 square-foot one-bedroom units to 1,320 square-foot three bedroom units. The complex includes two outdoor swimming pools, a fitness center, and a community clubhouse.
In May 2012 a fire which started on a second-floor deck caused major damage to one unit and the attic of the 2029 building. Twelve other units received smoke damage. A small fire in December 2014 caused significant damage to one unit and smoke damage to two others. On May 5, 2018 a fire which appeared to start on an outside deck and spread into the attic of the complex's 2005 building badly damaged several units and causes some damage to as many as 20 units.
