Say hello to River Islands, a master-planned community located along the San Joaquin River. Surrounded by the rich culture and lifestyle of the Bay Area, River Islands is a quiet retreat from the bustle of city life. Locally known as the “home of the seven-day weekend,” residents experience consistent exposure to the healing atmosphere of living in nature here.
Discover all the reasons Kiper Homes is proud to build in this beautiful master-planned community:
A Green Place to Call Home
River Islands was established with the goal of building an eco-sensitive environment. About 40% of the land in this community is devoted to natural landscape through extensive open space, parks, 11 lakes, new waterways and miles of trails. The residents of River Islands have also founded a tree-planting program that offsets carbon emissions associated with population growth.
Settled right on the San Joaquin River Delta, there are ample opportunities for fishing, boating and other fun on the water. Residents enjoy time on the water with non-motorized boats such as kayaks, canoes, paddle boats and paddle boards. Homeowners also love exploring the delta and walking along the trail that follows the riverbank edge or enjoying a peaceful picnic at one of the many lakeside parks.
A Sporty Perspective
Getting active could not be easier at River Islands’ exclusive athletic amenities, including bocce, volleyball and basketball courts, a community baseball field at Crystal Cove Park, and multiple soccer fields. Man’s best friend even gets in on the fun at Crystal Cove Dog Park!
Children enjoy expending their energy at one of several playgrounds dotted throughout the community.
And for those who prefer to get social while enjoying athletic endeavors, multiple community clubs exist, including the River Runners and a bocce league.
Interested in engaging as a fan instead? The brand-new Islanders Field offers homeowners and visitors a chance to catch baseball games, live concerts and more in a state-of-the-art stadium with a 500-seat capacity.
In the greater Lathrop area, Mossdale Landing Community Park is the perfect place to bring the whole family with sports fields, outdoor exercise equipment and a refreshing splash pad for children.
Delightful Bites & Shopping
Grab a drink after work or dinner with family at The Boathouse, River Islands’ exclusive restaurant. Showcasing a 4,000-square-foot deck on the water, this is the place to eat, drink and connect with your neighbors. Open seven days a week, be sure to stop by for a tasty meal paired with a scenic view of the delta.
With big stores like Target and Sprouts in Lathrop, shopping is just a short drive away for residents. The Louise Plaza Shopping Center is also a popular destination, equipped with many dining and shopping opportunities.
In nearby Manteca, residents have access to Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World and indoor, family-friendly fun at Great Wolf Lodge Water Park.
Education for the Whole Family
River Islands has many top-rated education options that accommodate students of all ages. Within the community, three academies offer competitive academics for Kindergarteners through eighth-grade students: River Islands Technology Academy, Next Generation STEAM Academy and EPIC Academy.
First- and second-year high school students currently meet in the EPIC Academy but will begin classes in the new River Islands High School this fall.
Pursuing a college degree? This community is convenient to many California colleges and universities, such as Delta College, University of the Pacific, California State University and Stanislaus State.
Safe & Secure
River Islands is also home to a state-of-the-art fire station and the Lathrop Police Department Administrative Headquarters.
Since its construction, Lathrop-Manteca Fire Station 35 has reduced the response time by 60 seconds and created security for residents.
Officers drop off and pick up vehicles from headquarters throughout the day, creating a consistent presence and strong sense of safety.
Exploring the Greater Bay Area
Residents of River Islands are proudly served by the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) Train, with connections to Bay Area Rapid Transport (BART). This allows for easy transit to a variety of destinations throughout the Bay Area, whether for work or play!
