RIVERWOODS

With its lazy winding roads, heavily wooded 1+ acre estates, and commitment to conservation, Riverwinds offers the semblance of a postcard. The welcoming residents of this pastoral paradise take great pride in their efforts to conserve the natural surroundings and wildlife reserves, resulting in pure natural splendor. Additionally, residents also enjoy easy access to the Loop, which ensures that they can enjoy their serene retreat without every being too far away.

Residential

Though you will find picturesque, rustic settings and cordial neighbors, Riverwoods is also wonderful for what it doesn’t have: cookie cutter homes with predictable appearances and amenities. From cottages to castles, contemporary to mid-century modern, the styles of the homes are as diverse as the price range, which in turn ensures something for everyone. Additionally, more than a few residents take advantage of their sizeable lots and choose to stable their horses on their own property.

Commercial

Though nestled in the woods, Riverwoods is also home to many outstanding businesses, including Commerce Clearing House and Morgan Stanley. In the interest of maintaining the integrity of their natural paradise, however, Riverwoods does not have a “downtown” area, or any shopping centers.

The Schools

An obvious extension of Riverwoods’ commitment to community, the area schools are among Illinois’ finest. Four elementary school districts and two high school districts serve Riverwoods. Most of the Village lies within Deerfield Elementary District #109, which has an enrollment of 2,880 students, and Township High School District #113, which has an enrollment of 2,847 students as two schools: Deerfield and Stevenson High Schools. There are also several parochial and private schools in the surrounding communities. Dedication to education is yet another reason why so many families choose to call Riverwoods home.

The Parks

Whether it’s hiking, biking, or riding (horses or trails), Riverwoods is an ideal setting for anyone who enjoys the outdoors and seeks to spend their free time in it. Family activities abound with events such as the annual family day, the Halloween and Spring planting festivities, and the Riverwoods Art show, as well as so many others.
