The Rivers

A 40-acre gated, master-planned riverfront enclave on the west bank of the Sacramento River.

Est. 2005

A country-club feel that's hard to find anywhere else in Sacramento.


Established in 2005 on the site of the former Lighthouse Golf & Country Club, The Rivers preserved the rolling, park-like topography of its heritage and built around it a meticulously maintained community of newer, semi-custom homes. Once you pass through the manned, 24-hour security gate, you enter an enclave of curving streets that follow the natural contours of the riverbank.

Community Culture

Where neighbors know each other.


The Rivers is genuinely a place where neighbors know each other. The HOA calendar regularly includes a summer concert series at the Clubhouse meadow, Easter egg hunts on the lawns, a Fourth of July ice-cream social, fall harvest festivals, movies under the stars, holiday tree-lightings, and meet-the-neighbor mixers.

Active resident social clubs include book groups, wine nights, and a children's playgroup network.

"Forty-five acres of private park, ponds, and walking paths — for residents only."

Summer Concerts

The Clubhouse meadow becomes an open-air venue all summer long.

4th of July Social

An annual community ice-cream social on Independence Day.

Movies Under Stars

Outdoor movie nights across the warm-weather months.

Holiday Tree Lighting

Winter holiday traditions that bring the whole neighborhood out.

Easter Egg Hunts

Spring tradition on the community's open lawns.

Harvest Festivals

Fall pumpkin patches and seasonal gatherings.

Home Value

A market that has doubled in a decade.


The Rivers' established gated resales (Rolling Green, Fountain, Westlake, Royal Oaks, Woodhaven, Waterford) traded in a $793,800 – $1,225,000 range in 2023 – 2024, with a median around $1,075,000 at $300 – $360 per square foot.

That's roughly 1.93× the broader West Sacramento 12-month median of $538,900 — and price per square foot inside The Rivers has approximately doubled in the last decade, from the mid-$150s to the mid-$300s.
