Riviera
Beach access at Bullhead City Rotary Park
Just south of Riviera is the massive Bullhead City Rotary Park, a 300-acre recreation destination with beach access, a boat launch area and fishing piers. Youth sports teams play games at its lighted baseball, football and soccer fields. Dogs run around at the dog park and people compete at its tennis, pickleball and basketball courts. Just 2 miles north is Ken Fovargue Park, which has a splash pad, playground equipment and open green space. Within the neighborhood, people can walk on a riverfront pathway called the Trail of Memories to the Arizona Veterans Memorial, where a circular group of columns surrounds an eternal flame. Planet Fitness is in the neighborhood for indoor exercise, and the Laughlin casinos are just 8 miles away, offering table games, slots and more.

Dining and drinking at CoVeu
Residents visit CoVeu Drinkery and Eatery for brunch, lunch and dinner. The restaurant has views of the Colorado River and offers burgers, cocktails in pint glasses and a Bloody Mary with dressings like bacon and onion rings. CoVeu also has pool tables and a stage where bands play and people sing karaoke. Agaves is a Mexican spot with patio seating and neon beer signs on its brick walls. Locals go there for frozen margaritas and taco platters. Asian fusion classics are served at MeYouThai Attarote, where the dining room is full of brightly-colored tables and chairs. Grocery shopping is simple, with Smith’s and Walmart within a mile of many homes.

Manufactured, ranch-style and large villa homes
Manufactured homes in Riviera cost between $82,000 and $235,000, while ranch-style builds cost $270,000 to $375,000. “These properties are good for first-time buyers or investors looking to get into the market,” says Briesemeister. There are a few multistory, fully renovated homes on the river in the $800,000 to $1.2 million range. Manufactured homes have fenced-in areas with cactus plants or rock landscaping, while ranch-style homes offer private driveways and multicar garages. Waterfront homes have private beach access and boat docks. Houses sit close together on small lots along quiet desert roads. “It’s quite congested compared to a lot of the surrounding neighborhoods,” says Briesemeister.

Bullhead City Middle School has a C-plus ranking, and Mohave High earns a C. Mohave students can participate fine arts programs, like drama club, the Mohave Singers and the Mohave Thunder Band & Guard. The band and choir have concerts and attend competitions throughout the year.Taking Highway 95 up to Las Vegas

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
