You don’t have to go far to enjoy a life of luxury. Take it from Liam Mayclem. KCBS’s Foodie Chap.
Liam’s expertise in Bay Area fine dining is unsurpassed. But you don’t need to be a connoisseur like him to appreciate the allure of his favorite new haunt: River Islands.
Located just an hour away from San Francisco, River Islands is Northern California’s premier master planned community, set against the backdrop of the San Joaquin River Delta.
River Islands offers homes, schools, parks and trails, a restaurant and pub, and a future business park and downtown retail, now in the planning.
The master planned community comprises 12 neighborhoods with homes ranging from striking bungalows to charming lake houses.
The properties in the master planned community are innovative yet homey, spacious yet warm. With homes ranging in size from approximately 1800 sq ft to over 4,000 sq. ft., River Islands is the perfect backdrop for a glass of wine and a tomato-mozzarella salad drizzled with olive oil.
And at prices that start in the mid-$400,000’s, one could say that you can enjoy the million dollar lifestyle for half the price.
As relaxing as “the home of the 7-day weekend” can be, there are lots of opportunities for an active lifestyle, with neighborhood and community parks, a trail along the San Joaquin River and even a dog park, for canine friends both large and small.
Fans of the great American pastime can enjoy a game at Islanders Field, the community ballpark where the next baseball star could be found among the traveling leagues that play there.
Feeling adventurous? There’s more the first eleven lakes, already built, can offer beyond great views from their back yards.
“If you like to paddleboard, kayak, or go boating, you can do it all here,” the Foodie Chap says, enjoying a sip of vino.
Enjoying a game of bocce ball in the public court, Liam can’t help but compare the community to somewhere familiar.
“Feels like we’re in Italy,” he says. “We could be. Close. We’re actually at River Islands.”
With a location that is roughly equidistant to San Francisco, the Silicon Valley and Sacramento, at River Islands, you can live here and be everywhere.
