Gold River is made up of "villages" that are either gated
neighborhoods containing halfplexes with patios and amenities like a
clubhouse, pool, spa and tennis courts or 2,000-3,500 square foot
single family homes with good sized backyards. The homeowners’ association
regulates the look of the home’s exteriors. All homes are painted beige on
the outside and the exteriors and the front landscaping is maintained by
the association.
Although Robert Powell is the primary developer in this area, other
builders have completed subdivisions. Their approach has been to give the
exterior designs of their homes more individual character.
