Considering a Home in River Highlands?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands River Highlands and the surrounding Hartford Area & Central Connecticut golf market.
River Highlands is Cromwell's flagship example of a residential community built directly alongside a nationally significant golf development without inheriting automatic access to it. Roughly 202 single-family 'Estate' homes and paired 'Club' duplex homes were developed on 220 acres bordering TPC River Highlands, more than two-thirds of it preserved as open space, and the community won the National Association of Home Builders' 1996 national 'Community of the Year' award — real, independently documented evidence that the golf course development helped drive demand for the neighborhood.
What the award does not mean is bundled club access. TPC River Highlands markets its private non-equity golf membership separately and openly to the public, and multiple independent sources confirm River Highlands homeowners do not receive it automatically. What residents do get through their own HOA is a private clubhouse, a pool with a snack bar, tennis courts, and walking trails — a real amenity package, just not a golf one.
