Neighborhood Overview

Rivertown offers the ultimate riverfront master-planned experience, where luxury living meets the serene beauty of the St. Johns River. This expansive, 5,000-acre community is the jewel of northwest St. Johns County, known for its "golf-cart culture," resort-style amenities, and an outdoorsy, family-centric vibe.

The community is defined by its massive investment in lifestyle, where high-end custom estates in The Riverside sit alongside modern single-family homes and low-maintenance townhomes. It is a place where your morning commute might be a sunrise paddle on the river and your evening ends with a sunset concert at the amphitheater.
