River Islands in Lathrop has long been recognized as the most successful lifestyle community in Northern California. Built on 5,000 acres, bordered by the San Joaquin River, the community has welcomed more than 4,000 households since its first move-ins ten years ago.
In that time, River Islands has opened three elementary schools and River Islands High School, fifteen lakes and as many parks and playgrounds, the first links of what will grow to be a 15+ mile trail system surrounding the community. It has a popular Boathouse restaurant and will be relocating a Modesto landmark restaurant, the Redwood Cafe, to the site this spring for an opening later this year. It has started improvements at the site of the Town Center, with announcements shortly to come about its first uses and tenants. It has built a home for Lathrop- Manteca Fire Station 35 and the administrative headquarters of the Lathrop Police.
Its business park is “shovel-ready” for future use as a research and development facility, academic or medical campus or space for growing business seeking to relocate close to the core Bay Area.
Now, River Islands has welcomed Del Webb, one of America’s pioneers and leaders in active adult living, to the master plan. Three different collections of homes and a resortstyle amenity center are being built at Del Webb River Islands for homebuyers who are 55 and older seeking a vibrant lifestyle. The community is perfect for those looking for the ability to build connections and wanting to explore, grow and learn, socially, physically and intellectually in an amenity-rich setting.
There are nine model homes to tour, in three different collections: Classic, Retreat and Encore, ranging in size from approximately 1,450 to 2,765 square feet with two and three bedrooms, spacious owner’s suites and modern, open living spaces.
At the center of this resort-style community will be a recreation center featuring a pool, fitness center, sports courts and more. This exclusive, residentonly recreation center, called The Lakeview Club, is currently under construction for an opening later this year.
Del Webb communities are built around social living, where neighbors become friends, and every day brings new opportunities for connection. From impromptu gatherings to organized clubs, fitness classes to festive celebrations, it’s more than just a collection of homes, it’s a thriving community where you’ll find your place to belong.
“Nurturing a sense of belonging is a big part of what sets River Islands apart as a place to live,” said River Islands Development President Susan Dell’Osso. “As the master developer, we are constantly thinking beyond the built environment our homebuilders create with such sophistication and skill. We are designing the next school, envisioning our Town Center and its many uses and users, planning parks that are both neighborhood-serving and community-focused.
We are making sure that each neighborhood offers something new and different to the community as a whole, and that the builders who we bring in are designing something unique for this incredible setting.”
