Quick answer
Riverside Place Adult Community is a 55+ age-restricted community in South Weber, Davis County, Utah, built by Visionary Homes, with about 47 homes. Homes are single-family homes, priced $400,000 to $634,000. New homes are still available from the builder.
It is a residential community, not assisted living or senior care. There is no staff, no nursing, and no meal service. Residents own their homes.

Riverside Place Adult Community is a 55+ sub-association of 47 specific lots inside a larger mixed-age community in South Weber, built by Visionary Homes.
It is the only community in this registry where the recorded rules are published openly, and they show a genuinely 100 percent age-restricted community rather than the usual 80 percent standard. No pool or clubhouse, but pickleball courts and a mile of trail.
Broker's note
This is the only community in the registry where I can point at the actual recorded rules and tell you exactly what the age restriction says, because the management company publishes the whole document library. That alone puts it ahead of most associations, where you find out what the rules are after you close.
And what those rules say is unusual. The 55+ portion is genuinely 100 percent age-restricted, stricter than the federal 80 percent standard most communities use. It covers 47 specific lots by number. Every dwelling inside that boundary must be occupied by someone 55 or older, with written exceptions for a younger spouse and for a minor under legal guardianship. The board can require documentation of age from new owners.
The important corollary: the rest of Riverside Place has no age restriction at all. So you can buy in Riverside Place and not be in the 55+ community. Confirm the lot number, not just the subdivision name. This is exactly the distinction that other directories flatten and get wrong.
There is no pool and no clubhouse. What there is: two gated pickleball courts, a mile of walking trail, horseshoe pits, and pavilions. The association also publishes board minutes and monthly newsletters continuously, and its financials are healthier than most. For a buyer who cares more about how a place is run than how it looks on tour, that is worth a lot.

Is this the right fit?
A good fit if you want
- You want a genuinely enforced 55+ community, not the 80 percent standard
- Slab-on-grade homes with no stairs and no basement
- Pickleball and daily walking on a mile of trail
- An association that publishes its documents, minutes, and financials openly
- Staying in Davis County near two hospitals
Look elsewhere if
- You want a pool or clubhouse. Neither exists here
- You have a household member under 55 other than a spouse or a minor in your guardianship
- You want a basement for storage or guests
- You want a large community. The 55+ portion is 47 lots
The homes
Where this stands, July 2026: Recent activity showed one active listing with a median around $634,000 and fast marketing at 22 days.
What "single-level" actually means here
Plenty of 55+ homes advertise main-floor living and still put the laundry in the basement or the second bedroom upstairs. Here is what actually sits on the entry level at Riverside Place Adult Community.
- Primary suite on the entry level
- Laundry on the entry level
- All daily essentials on one floor
Slab on grade with no basements, which means no stairs at all in the homes and nothing below grade to maintain or fill.
What to ask the builder before drywall goes up
- Grab-bar blocking in the bathroom walls. It costs almost nothing during framing and is expensive to add later. Nobody thinks to ask.
- Interior door clear width. 32 inches is the minimum that stays workable; 36 is better.
- Whether the primary shower could go curbless later, which depends on the slab and drain location.
- Which entry is step-free. A garage on the same level as the house is usually the cheapest one a home has, and it is almost never advertised.
Amenities
- Two pickleball courts, gated
- One mile walking trail
- Three horseshoe pits
- Two pavilions
The HOA
What the dues cover:
- Lawn care for the 55+ sub-association
- Common-area maintenance
- Pickleball courts and walking trail
The dues amount is not published, though the governing documents confirm they are monthly with a $20 late fee. The association held dues flat for 2026 and has flagged a possible increase for 2027. Notably, its published financials show the 55+ sub-association carrying roughly $28,000 operating, $28,000 savings, and a $22,000 CD, which is healthier than most associations this size.
Who actually runs this HOA
Registered with the Utah Department of Commerce as Riverside Place Subdivision an Adult Community (registration 14256915-HOA1). Managed by Golden Spike Realty. The registry also records it as subject to a master association, so expect a second set of dues on top of this one.
This is a 55+ sub-association inside a larger mixed-age master community. Both are registered separately with the state. Golden Spike publishes the full document library, including the CC&Rs, rules, board minutes, and monthly newsletters, which is unusually transparent.
This is the entity to ask for the budget, the reserve study, and the recorded CC&Rs. I request those for clients as a matter of course.
Two cautions I give every client buying into a newer association
Developer-set dues are introductory. While a builder still controls the association, dues are commonly set low and reserves underfunded, because low dues sell houses. After homeowners take over, boards routinely raise dues and levy assessments to catch up. Ask for the projected turnover date.
Ask for the reserve study, and check its date. Utah law requires a reserve analysis at least every six years, reviewed at least every three, with an annual summary to owners. Under 70 percent funded is a yellow flag. Under 50 percent is a real problem, and the bill arrives as a special assessment after you close.
What I have not been able to confirm at Riverside Place Adult Community
Builders and associations do not publish everything, and some of what they do publish disagrees with the MLS. Rather than pick whichever number reads better, here is what is still open on this community as of July 2026. Ask for each of these in writing before you write an offer, or ask me and I will chase them down.
- The monthly dues amount, which the documents confirm exists but do not publish
- Floor plan names and square footage
Who is actually allowed to live here
Riverside Place Adult Community is age-restricted, the stricter standard: at least one resident in every household must be 55 or older, and that sits in the recorded covenants rather than in a sales brochure.
The federal Housing for Older Persons Act sets the floor an association has to clear to keep its senior exemption, but a community is free to write something tighter, and this one has. The question worth asking is not what the law allows, it is what this declaration actually says.
The thing almost nobody knows: HOPA does not, by itself, protect an under-55 surviving spouse. Whether your husband or wife can stay after you are gone depends entirely on the recorded CC&Rs. Some communities include an explicit survivor clause. Some leave it to the board. Some are silent, which is the worst version.
Get these answered in writing before you write an offer
- Can a surviving spouse under 55 remain, and is it written down or left to the board?
- Can an heir under 55 inherit and live in the home, or only rent or sell it?
- How much of the 20 percent cushion is already in use? If the community sits at 19 percent, there is no room left for your spouse. This is obtainable from the association and virtually nobody asks.
- Can a live-in caregiver under 55 stay if one of you needs help?
- How many days per year may a younger guest stay, and does that constrain a summer with the grandchildren?

The question adult children ask that nobody answers
How does an ambulance get in? If a community is gated or has controlled access, ask whether the fire district has a Knox box or gate code on file, and whether the first-due unit carries a paramedic. That detail matters more than the drive time does.
A useful benchmark: Medicare Advantage network adequacy rules set maximum time and distance standards by county type. In large metro counties the primary care standard is 10 minutes or 5 miles.
If you stop driving
The least-discussed risk in active adult housing. Losing the ability to drive roughly doubles the risk of depression symptoms and social isolation, and where a home sits determines how hard that transition is.
- Is there a continuous sidewalk to anything useful, or does every errand require a car?
- What is the walk to a grocery store or pharmacy on the actual sidewalk route?
- Is the address inside a UTA paratransit service area? ADA paratransit generally covers within three quarters of a mile of a fixed route.
- Does a county senior transport or volunteer ride program serve this address?
What it really costs each month
The sticker price is the least interesting number. What matters is the monthly nut, and how it compares to what you are paying now.

* Based on what the community and builder publish about the dues, which I have looked up rather than assumed. It is not confirmed against the association's own budget and governing documents, and exactly what is covered can differ by phase, by home type, and over time. I pull the current budget and CC&Rs for clients before they write an offer.
This is the honest case for a 55+ community, and it is the one most people get wrong. The HOA fee is not purely an added cost. It replaces line items you already pay on a larger home, in cash or in your own labor. When someone tells me downsizing does not pencil, we usually find they compared the mortgage and the dues and left out the lawn service, the snow, and the roof they will need in six years.
Typical utilities
Rough monthly ranges for a home this size in South Weber. Utilities are the line item people most often forget to compare, and they are usually where a smaller home wins.
Estimates only, and they vary a lot. A townhome, a condo, and a detached single-family home of the same square footage can run very differently, and so can two neighbors in identical homes depending on thermostat habits, occupancy, and whether the yard is irrigated. Treat these as a starting point, then ask for the actual bills on a specific address.
For the son or daughter reading this
If you are researching Riverside Place Adult Community on behalf of a parent, you are asking different questions than they are, and both sets are legitimate.
What to check at Riverside Place Adult Community specifically
- How far South Weber is from you. Hands-on help from an adult child falls off sharply with distance, so treat that drive as a real factor rather than a detail.
- Access here is open, so the questions are address visibility at night and whether a medical alert device holds a signal on the lot.
- Whether a live-in caregiver under 55 is permitted. The recorded CC&Rs decide that, not the sales office.
- Whether the architectural committee permits a ramp or grab bars, and what the overnight guest limit is. That last rule is the one that quietly stops you staying a week to help.
Riverside Place Adult Community is real estate, not care. There is no staff, no nurses, no meals, and no call system. If your parent needs help with bathing, dressing, or medication, that is assisted living, which is a different product entirely. Buying here because it sounds like a safer version of a house is the most expensive mistake families make.
The rest of it, coordinating with siblings, the paperwork worth locating now, the Medicare gap that catches families out, and how to raise the subject without a fight, is written out once in the family guide rather than repeated on every community page.
Other 55+ communities to compare
Worth a look before you decide. I would rather you tour two or three than fall for the first one you see.

Frequently asked questions
-
Is all of Riverside Place a 55+ community?
No, and this is the most important thing to know before you buy here. The recorded rules define the 55+ community as specific lots by number: Lot 1, Lots 201 through 226, Lots 301 through 312, and Lots 321 through 328. That is 47 lots. Every other lot in Riverside Place has no age restriction at all. So you can buy in Riverside Place and not be in the 55+ portion. Confirm the lot number, not just the subdivision name.
-
How strict is the age restriction at Riverside Place?
Stricter than most. The recorded rules state that every dwelling within the 55+ boundary shall be occupied by persons 55 or older, which is a full restriction rather than the federal 80 percent standard many communities use. The written exceptions are a spouse or partner under 55, a minor under legal custody or guardianship, and short-term visitors. There is also a limit of two people per dwelling unless related by blood, marriage, or adoption, and the board may require documentation of age from new owners.
-
Is there a pool or clubhouse at Riverside Place?
No to both. The amenities are two gated pickleball courts, a one-mile walking trail, three horseshoe pits, and two pavilions. The courts are in active use; a recent community newsletter discussed maintenance on the court lock. If a pool and clubhouse are on your list, this is not the community.
-
How well run is the Riverside Place HOA?
Better than most, judging by what it publishes. The management company maintains a full public document library including the CC&Rs, rules, board minutes, and monthly newsletters running continuously through 2026. Published financials show the 55+ sub-association holding roughly $28,000 in operating funds, $28,000 in savings, and a $22,000 certificate of deposit. Dues were held flat for 2026 with a possible increase flagged for 2027. That level of transparency is rare and worth weighing.
-
Are the homes at Riverside Place single-level?
Yes, and completely so. The homes are slab on grade with no basements, so there are no stairs anywhere. That also means no lower level to maintain, heat, or fill, which some buyers want and others miss.
