Whether you’re a retiree ready to bask in the lakeside lifestyle or have a family that needs more space and quick access to the great outdoors, River Islands is perfect for individuals who are looking for great value and a more relaxed way of life.

But the amenities don’t end with cutting-edge homes, countless opportunities for recreation and a beautiful view. Thanks to its tech-forward options for buyers and exciting new development planned in the next few years, River Islands is one of the area’s fastest growing communities.

These are a few reasons why you should consider a new home in River Islands now.

 

It was ranked among the most successful master-planned communities in America

River Islands was named among the most successful master-planned communities in the country by Robert Charles Lesser Associates, ranking at number 20 on the mid-year list for 2020.

Located in the city of Lathrop, the community of neighborhoods has been planned for 11,000 households, with approximately 1,500 residences occupied since it opened mid-2014.

 

A Virtual Welcome Center that simplifies the hunt for buyers

A Virtual Welcome Center allows interested buyers to easily browse their options in the community.

The portal offers floor plans and elevations of all available floorplans, 3-D and video tours of most neighborhoods, and a chat function as well as live phone advisers to answer any questions you may have.

Potential buyers who aren’t sure what they’re looking for can also enjoy a curated neighborhood search function to refine their options based on their preferences.

 

Tech-forward, contact-free appointment options

While in-person meetings have been complicated this year, prospective buyers can enjoy streamlined and contact-free virtual appointments in their search for a home in River Islands.

The community’s flexible arrangements allows hundreds of people weekly to sign up for appointments.

 

Rapidly expanding community plan

The River Islands community is constantly evolving, with several new areas slated for the immediate future.

Right now, interested buyers can begin previewing homes in Hideaway by Van Daele Homes, a neighborhood based on the builder’s best-selling Castaway neighborhood. The neighborhood boasts its own private neighborhood and pool.

For individuals who value proximity to the water, there are also two new lakes which have been built — the 12th and 13th in the community — with lots for homes that will soon be available in 2021.

By 2022, the community will also see the opening of a new K-8 charter school campus, the third K-8 school in the community.

A massive 15-acre community park will also open next year, offering yet another outdoor space for families and residents to enjoy.
