RiverBend Estates in Oxford, Connecticut is a serene 55+ community ideally located in western New Haven County overlooking the Housatonic River. This New England gem is what RiverBend considers Oxford’s best kept secret with it’s natural setting surrounded by rolling hills, and lush greenery. This close knit community features 25 beautiful single family detached homes, and offers four floor plans with architectural details such as nine foot ceilings, spacious rooms and high quality finishes inside, and out. The town of Oxford is a charming place where residents can savor four seasons while being close to activities, and entertainment perfect for an active adult lifestyle.

Our happy home owner Theresa has called RiverBend Estates home for six years, and says the peer community atmosphere, and private setting makes this such a wonderful place to live. Her spacious backyard area is perfect for entertaining family, and thanks to the maintenance free lifestyle offered here, the landscaping is always well manicured. In fact, Theresa mentioned when she arrives home after being away there is no worry of needing to mow the lawn!

While RiverBend Estates has no on-site amenities, Theresa says she loves to walk, and hike the surrounding trails, and appreciates not having to pay extra fees for additional services such as a gym since there are plenty of fitness centers nearby, and senior discounts keep it affordable. Oxford is within driving distance to theaters, casinos, shopping, and golf clubs so there’s never a shortage of things to do!

Currently, RiverBend Estates has thirteen residents for an intimate community feel that Theresa says is fantastic because everyone gets along, and looks out for one another. One of her neighbors moved to RiverBend from the same hometown, so talk about having that connection that most neighborhoods just don’t see anymore!

This very satisfied home owner purchased her home as the model, and has been so pleased with its solid construction. Her brother who works as a builder was also impressed by the craftsmanship of the home, and as someone in the business, he knows quality when he sees it.

Theresa’s advice to her age peers considering a purchase in this peaceful community? If you’re looking for a maintenance free lifestyle where your neighbors are like family, RiverBend is an idyllic place to live.
