@Bigbore500r can probably give you the details, his pad is 50 yards away,I was looking for a river house and there are a few for sale in the Rio Buena Vista area of Needles. Any thoughts on this area? Crime? HOA nightmares? Here is the link for the home. Seems to be a little over built for the area. Thoughts?

The best non-water front option would be that lot across from you if they got real with the price. Double RV garage there would be bad ass.Hello
Its a great community, we have been there for 6 years now. Great sense of community, feels like a resort when you are there. Neighbors are friendly, the entire neighborhood is alike a huge "loop" with one way in / out. Kids can cruise the golf carts around without much worry., golf carts are usually the biggest dispute....somebody's kid is always accused of driving too fast lol. Parents enforce pretty well. You can cruise around the neighborhood with a cocktail without much worry. We absolutely love it there.
There is no launch ramp, but Needles marina is right next door with a brand new ramp, fuel dock and slips. Jack Smith is also 1/4 mile away further down the road.
There is rarely an issue with crime, there was a string of petty theft a few years back that was traced to some 14 year old juvies that were busted shortly thereafter.
Here are the key things the neighborhood offers, that I dont see across the river.....
HOA is $96 a month. They crack down on the "manufactured homes" in regard to landscape violations, architectural violations (feux logs. along roofs must stay...), etc. They don't really mess with the stick framed houses, and many of the stick framed houses are in the HOA by choice, so they have pool access. Other than that, the HOA is pretty cool, and the area stays looking nice.
- Beaches! Huge stretches of sandy beaches across the entire front of the community, I believe 5 or so in total. Each beach is a few hundred feet long, most are protected by a rock jetty so you can get 20-30' out before the river current starts flowing. Great for kids, beaching boats, hanging out, etc.
- It's right on the golf course as well. This is pretty cool when the weather is cooler.
- There's a full hookup RV campground within walking distance, for when you have guests with RV's come up to stay with you for the weekend. We have people do this all the time when we need "overflow". There is also usually a decent supply of neighbors homes that are willing to rent to you, if you have friends that want to go that route. Since you are in the "cul-de-sac" neighborhood, all the houses are close and no worries getting to / from the neighbors when partying.
- Regarding partying - its all at a respectful level. I've never had a issue with neighbors being out of control, and i'd say its calm for the most part. Holiday weekends get busy. It's all good
There are 2 trailer parking lots and a few other reserve parking lots for what doesn't fit in your driveway, which is nice when you have people over. You aren't supposed to leave vehicles parked in the street.
The only issue that the community faces is the sewers - The city of Needles and the RBV HOA are in a battle to get Needles to take over the sewer system. That is an ongoing issue the HOA is handling, not resolved yet. For now it is maintained by the HOA and cleaned monthly I believe
The house you are looking at is probably the most elaborate in the community save for maybe one of the waterfront ones. It has been for sale for a long time. Alot of house for the money but being that it isn't on the water, I'd say check out one of the pre-man houses with a big RV garage for $250k and put the other 250k in your bank! Depends on how much house you want.
PM me if you want to talk about anything, be happy to give info
RVP ??????
Good luck with your offer. Hope it gets accepted
We could tell you but then we’d have to kill you
