At Riverlights, the possibilities of what to do are limited only by the number of hours in the day. Because here, you can spend your time appreciating the natural splendor of the Cape Fear River. Enjoying the convenience of walkable shops and restaurants. Taking a walk along miles of nature trails. Meeting up with neighbors for an oyster roast. Paddleboarding on our 38-acre lake. Lounging poolside. And so, so much more. How you spend your day is up to you. And if you run out of time to do it all? Well, there’s always tomorrow.
Riverlights is a 1,400-acre master-planned community situated along the Cape Fear River. Just six years into its 10-year build-out plan, this active, outdoorsy community includes a variety of home plans along with a charming commercial village, eight public parks, a 38-acre freshwater lake and Lakehouse for social gatherings, a pool and workout facilities, miles of nature paths, and a dock for crabbing, fishing or setting out on one’s kayak.
Every home at Riverlights comes with endless ways to have a good time. Enjoy a sweet treat in Marina Village, a concert in Live Oak Commons, or a walk along the five miles of completed trails. From docks and parks, to dining and shopping, to farmers markets and fire pits, Riverlights has plenty of opportunities for fun. And then some.
