River Stone is a new community in the Brookwood High School District by Ryland Homes. It is actually the second phase of the existing River Stone community across the street that was completed in 2006. Phase two was started at the same time with exterior landscaping, subdivision entrance, streets, plumbing stacks and lots developed, but no homes were built as the market declined in 2007 so phase two sat vacant for a few years. With lending restrictions loosened and a new surge of buyers pursuing rock-bottom interest rates, new homes began to go up as early as last year. The community is now in full-swing with standing inventory ready to be purchased. 
These homes appear to be slightly larger from the elevations and a higher price point likely reflects the larger homesites available. The first thing I noticed is that it's amenities package won't be shared with phase one(clubhouse/pool/playground)which would be a bummer if you have to travel across the street to go swimming. But even if you did, with up to 4 acre homesites available, you can put in your own pool & bring the party to you. However the Ryland website does advertise: River Stone will have tree lined streets with sidewalks and streetlights, plus our fabulous amenities which include; a club house, Jr. Olympic size swimming pool, two lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, tot lot, slides and swings. Biggest pro on phase two is that it backs up to green space and not Ronald Reagan Parkway or the railroad tracks like parts of phase one.
