Make every week unforgettable by charting your next chapter in a new home at River Islands with Kiper Homes. Home of the “7-Day Weekend,” River Islands is a popular master-planned community settled along the San Joaquin River Delta. Building three neighborhoods in this popular destination, Kiper Homes is ready to welcome you home in a locale where each day is filled with sun-kissed, waterfront fun.
Nature-Focused Amenities

Located next to the awe-inspiring San Joaquin River Delta, the natural beauty heavily influences life at River Islands. Every day in a River Islands community comes with easy access to a suite of onsite amenities that allow you to seamlessly access and explore the local flora and fauna just minutes from your front door. This unique location offers a lifestyle that’s a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure.
A trail system, a part of the larger Bennie and Joyce Gatto Historic Trail System, weaves through the community, perfect for bicyclists and walkers looking to crush their next personal best. The miles-long path runs along the San Joaquin River, ensuring each trek is complete with stunning views.
Looking for more spots to enjoy natural beauty? Around 40% of River Islands is devoted to parks, lakes, trails, open space and new waterways. The community is deeply committed to respecting and preserving the natural environment found in Lathrop. For each acre of development, a half-acre is dedicated to wildlife mitigation and another half-acre to the preservation of agriculture. This means one whole acre is preserved for each acre of development, creating a stunning locale deeply rooted in nature.
River Islands also spotlights 13 lakes, with more water features currently in development! These community water spots create perfect stopping places for local migratory birds and habitats for waterfowl and are designated as wildlife preserves. As a part of the Paradise Cut Bypass Expansion and Multi-Benefit Project, active and passive restoration plans incorporate more than 1,000 acres of habitat for terrestrial species, including the endangered riparian brush rabbit. This project will also create new shaded areas for local fish species.
Community Fun: River Islands Style

After a long day at work, what better way to wind down than by heading to The Boathouse for a round of drinks with friends and family? This eatery, parked right on the lake, is a go-to spot for all River Islands residents thanks to its central location and mouthwatering food and drink options. A unique feature, River Islands is proud to stand out with this onsite amenity, which is not found in many master-planned communities. Whether craving brunch, lunch or dinner, a satisfying meal with even better views is never far from home.
Exercise your swing at Islanders Field, one of the newest additions at River Islands! The state-of-the-art grass field stadium is now a local congregating spot for residents and friends to enjoy the great American sport of baseball. The stadium seats 500 people and includes lights, public restrooms, batting cages, paved parking, a scoreboard and public address systems.
More than just a baseball field, River Islands contracts well-established youth programs in the Bay Area through Islanders Field to establish leagues, organize tournaments and stage clinics to support and encourage young talent.
