“It’s an incredible honor to win this coveted award, and to be recognized amongst the businesses and families that have built the Central Valley,” said Riverstone’s Tim Jones. “I truly couldn’t be more appreciative of being recognized and supported by the overall community. As you might imagine, there are countless individuals who deserve to be acknowledged for helping to make Riverstone the kind of place where everyone can Look Forward to Life. I’d like to thank everyone in the Central Valley who gave us their support, as well as all the families who call Riverstone home.”

Continued Jones, “I’m especially grateful for all the dedicated people who work so hard to make Riverstone a great place to call home. These include our staff members and HOA team, homebuilders and construction crews, and the teachers and administrators of Golden Valley Unified School District. Riverstone is truly a team effort…and we have one of the best.”
