What catches people off guard about this place is how much breathing room you get without feeling remote. Cottages at Riverbend sits on 15 acres with each lot averaging about 14.63 acres—so you're not stacked on top of neighbors, but you're also steps away from a restaurant and a two-minute walk to transit. Homes here run around $754K. The setup feels like a deliberate answer to the usual trade-off: you can have land *and* access.
