River Islands’ homes and amenities boast a resort lifestyle
Located along the San Joaquin River Delta, River Islands is a 5,000-acre master-planned community comprised of luxury homes and surrounded by the outdoors. The neighborhood has been in construction since 2006 and is nearing the end of its 25-year master plan, with multiple sub-communities and various amenities offered, from private pools to public parks. “River Islands is so unique, there are so many different types of homes, and the scenery is just spectacular with the river going through,” says Jared Miller, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Van Daele Homes. “It’s the sense of community and the unique lifestyle that really draws people in. There are so many community groups that bring people together.”

Single-family new builds within sub-communities
Over 15,000 newly constructed homes can be found in River Islands, all lined within individual communities. Some were built as early as 2015, and others as recently as 2024. Multiple homebuilders have added to the area, including Van Daele, Kiper Homes, Tri Pointe Homes, Pulte Homes and Taylor Morrison. Most provide two types of housing: built-to-order and move-in ready. “Van Daele provides opportunities for homeowners to customize their homes, and people love that,” Miller says.
Contemporary, multi-story homes are common in River Islands and come in a variety of styles. There are homes with multiple roofs and a slab exterior, some with Craftsman features and others that have New Traditional architecture with vinyl siding.

Getting educated in Banta’s public charter schools
River Islands is served by the River Island Academies, a charter school system within the Banta Unified School District. “The schools are spectacular here and a huge draw. Many people will move here to get their kids in these schools,” Miller says. There are three schools teaching kindergarten through eighth grade: River Islands Technology Academy was the first school in the system ands earns an A-minus grade from Niche, while Next Generation STEAM Academy has a B-minus. EPIC Academy was built in 2022 and has not received a Niche score. The River Islands High School opened its doors for the 2024 school year and has yet to be graded as well.
