JP, I live just down the hill from Riverwoods, and have many friends that live there. You are correct regarding lots of kids. One of the best places to go trick or treating in the area. Being a large neighborhood, and also sharing a few entrance roads with Village 2, result in heavier traffic than Northpoint. Also, the current Bridge Street construction, which is scheduled to complete in June, probably has many folks detouring over some of those roads(as I do). The neighboorhood is safe, the smaller lots mean less time spent working and more time to enjoy. There have been a few problems with some of the fireplaces, so just make sure you have in inspection done. Easy walk to town, downhill all the way, just save some energy for the uphill climb when you want to go home. Overall, New Hope is a great place to live and raise a family(we have 3 kids) and Riverwoods is about the best priced single family development that is walkable to town. - Thu May 7 2009, 14:52
