Nature, Families, River Forest
River Forest represents a new approach to land development in Florida. The River Forest innovation, simply stated, is to build a neighborhood with the existing natural environment. Development and Nature are not mutually exclusive, but are brought together for mutual benefit.
The innovative development work requires a highly sophisticated level of planning and management in order to see that the idea becomes reality. Land planning, architecture, landscape architecture, construction management, and a team approach to all aspects of the work are combined at River Forest to create an outstanding community.
Natural Balance
From the very start, River Forest was about striking a balance between nature and housing. One visit here and you’ll agree, natural balance has been achieved.
River Views
The neighborhood backs up to the Braden River. Here we share a common area with beautiful views of the historic river and teaming wildlife.
Peaceful
Usually the neighborhood is quiet. You’ll hear the bird chirping, see an Eagle fly overhead, and watch squirrels and bunnies scurry among the palmettos.
Gone Green
Special drainage. No retention pond. Narrow road. Raised foundations to protect tree roots. Birdwatchers. Nature fans.
Family Friendly
Families are raising our future generation here in the Forest. Families enjoy privacy and also participate in neighborhood fun.
Pine & Palmetto
This is Florida, and the Forest embraces the simple beautify of pine trees and thriving palmettos.
Community
Our neighborhood is made up of working families and retired couples mostly. Here you’ll find a mix of Florida natives and friendly transplants.
Proximity
It’s difficult to beat the location! Close to the interstate, a short drive to the beaches, a few miles from UTC mall, and quick access to three downtown areas!
Fishing
Take a stroll down to the common area and you’re sure to find some good fish! Snook, redfish, jack, gar, tarpon, catfish, Mojara, you name it!
