Given the popu- larity of the master- planned community, there are always new neighborhoods in the design and building phases as other suc- cessful neighborhoods are completed. The result is that River Islands today offers home designs from award-winning archi- tectural firms, built by some of the state's best homebuilders, priced from the low $600,000s to well over $800,000. The community en- joys a location along the shores of the San Joaquin River, and has been beautifully designed with lakes, parks, and trails. It has established its own charter school system, the River Islands Acad- emies, with two K-8 campuses open today and a third now under construction for the fall 2022 school year. A high school is being built for a phased se- ries of openings begin- ning in 2022. River Islands today counts among its ame- nities 13 lakes, a trail along the San Joaquin River, the private Is- landers Field baseball stadium, the lakeside Boathouse restaurant, parks, playing fields and open space. A Town Center with re- tail and restaurants is currently being de- signed. The community has a Fire Station, al- ready in service, and a police administrative headquarters building. In the future, River Islands will add to its existing plan 13 more lakes, for a total of 26 lakes throughout the community. Four more schools will be built. A second downtown area will be developed. The trail system will extend over 18 miles, ringing the entire community and offering pedestrian bridges over major in- tersections. More sports parks, community parks and neighborhood parks will be added to the plan, totaling 160 acres. Overall, approxi- mately 40% of River Islands' total acreage will consist of open space. This weekend, Bal- boa by Kiper Homes will be celebrating its grand opening with tours by appoint- ment. Balboa, as its name suggests, offers a waterside lifestyle, with homes and docks built along one of the community's newest lakes. Described by the builder as "clean, con- temporary, comfortable and casual," the homes at Balboa offer one- and two-story designs with three to five bedrooms and from 1,950 up to 2,859 square feet. Kiper Homes has been a long- time builder at River Islands, and its commu- nities have been among the most popular. Also opening for preview sales this weekend are two new neighborhoods from Pulte Homes, Laguna and Sanctuary. Both are being sold from the sales office at Sunset, and floor plans and renderings are online. Laguna will have up to seven bedrooms in a 3,404-square-foot plan, and Sanctuary will offer three to six bedrooms. The Welcome Cen- ter at River Islands is open daily except Mon- days from noon to 5 p.m. It is located at the corner of River Islands Parkway and Somer- ston Parkway. Price lists, tour maps and lists of all of the neigh- borhoods are available there. Most of the sales offices are still open only by appointment; for contact informa- tion for the individual neighborhoods, go to RiverIslands.com.
