Riverstone

"Two sides of the town, with lots of work to do on one of those sides."

I have lived here in Riverstone for two years now and I see it as having two separate natures, one is with hard working families and retirees doing the best they can with lots of spirit to let fly, and the other which as usuall is such a small minority that bring the whole place down. The problems are not major they are just not policed correctly and ignored allowing a small number to stay out of control. Really you could close down a few streets here and the place would be magic.
The police presence in a situation like this is ignorant as coming from elsewhere where police were more pro-active people feel safe. I work and live here and can not remember seeing them walking the beet.
I hope that with the new development things will improve and better policing of a minority would be my first approach.
All in all though for myself and the cost savings we have made coming here mean we are in a much better position than before and would not turn back at all.

I agree wholeheartedly. The place has real potential, if only the Council would act on it.

Hi, am thinking of purchasing a house in Riverstone. Could you advise which is the good and crappy sides please. Thanks

Localperson

Blee it is a better investment to buy on the school side not the industrial side long term as not only will you get more for your buck but as the housing commission sells off the values will go up. Eden brae is selling new houses on tiny lots near the housing commission so that will in the short term lift up that area as new families will move in and demand more of that area as well as well as from local schools.

Also long term houses near schools or shops do better investment wise.
