Questions we get about Riverwood, Clayton

Straight answers

What kind of homes are here?
Detached houses of 1,800–3,800 sq ft, a mix of brick-front two-storeys and single-storey ranches, many backing onto the golf course or the river buffer.
Is there an HOA?
2 of the 2 homes we have listed here carry a monthly fee. What it covers varies — in townhome and condominium communities it often includes exterior maintenance, roof and water, which changes the comparison against a detached house more than most buyers expect. Always read the schedule and the reserve study.
How far is the commute?
About 20 miles to downtown Raleigh via US-70 Business and I-40; roughly 30 miles to RTP.
Which schools would we be assigned?
River Dell Elementary, Riverwood Middle and Clayton High (Johnston County Public Schools). Assignment is set per address and is reassigned periodically, so confirm the current base assignment with the district before you rely on it.
