As a resident for over 20 years, I am grateful for River Glen. My greatest appreciation is for the quality of residents in the townhomes. Most of whom I called my friends. We have a nice selection of activities from Bridge to gardening to going to see plays and musicals. The facilities are well cared for. I appreciate the location being on a major bike path as well as 2 parks close by. One park has activities for seniors. The staff is currently very caring and responsive to residents needs.
