River North is a real, HOA-governed gated residential community in north Macon, built between 1976 and 2005 on land originally purchased by Robert J. Adams Jr. in 1972 alongside the golf course that now bears the same name. It combines single-family homes and condominiums with direct proximity to River North Country Club (the golf, tennis, pickleball, and swimming facility that sits within the community's boundaries).

Golf Access

Does buying a home here include club membership?

Buying a home here does not automatically guarantee golf membership unless stated below — confirm access directly with each club.

Golf access via River North Country Club is available to residents on application but is not automatically included in HOA dues or with home purchase -- see the club's own anchor record (river-north-country-club) for the full access-model detail, including its distinct 'River North Resident' membership tier.

Living in River North

The community offers 24/7 gated entry and security. Homes range from roughly 1,800 to 3,300+ square feet based on active listings found this session, with lots described as large by local real-estate marketing. The golf course, designed by Gary Player and opened in 1974, physically runs through the community's pine woodlands, creeks, and lakes.

Lifestyle & Amenities

24/7 gated entry/securityAccess to River North Country Club amenities (golf, 8 Har-Tru clay tennis courts, 6 pickleball courts, pool, fitness center) via a separate club membership -- not included in HOA dues

Residents have the option to join River North Country Club for golf, 8 Har-Tru clay tennis courts, 6 pickleball courts, a swimming pool, and a fitness center, though this requires a separate club membership rather than being bundled with HOA dues.

Costs & Fees

Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old figure a current one.

Home price (low)

Current

$289,000

Low end of a small, point-in-time active-listing sample (2 listings, $289,000-$349,900) found via search this session, not an official developer or HOA price guide. A separate, larger single listing was also found at $475,000 (see approx_home_price_high). Treat as illustrative of a recent range, not a comprehensive market survey.

Home price (high)

Current

$475,000

A specific active listing (279 River North Boulevard, 4bd/3ba, 3,304 sqft, 0.55 acres) found this session at $475,000. Other listings in the community range roughly 1,800-3,300+ sqft; this is a snapshot from active inventory, not a formal price ceiling.

HOA / association fee

Current

$90

Source (a local real-estate agency blog, not the HOA's own published fee schedule) states a $75-$105/month range; the $90 value recorded here is the midpoint of that published range, not an independently confirmed exact figure. Confirm the current, exact figure directly with the River North & River Communities Association, Inc.

What Buyers Should Verify

  • Confirm the current, exact HOA fee directly with the River North & River Communities Association, Inc. -- this record uses a documented midpoint of a $75-105/month range from a secondary source, not an official fee schedule.
  • Confirm current home/lot price range from a comprehensive listing source rather than the small sample found via search this session.
  • Confirm whether the 'River North Resident' club membership tier offers any preferential pricing or terms specifically for HOA members versus the general public.

Notable

  • Land originally purchased in 1972 by Robert J. Adams Jr., with the golf course (Gary Player-designed) opening for play in 1974 alongside the community's early development.
  • One of the few gated communities in the Macon area offering 24/7 gated security, per local real-estate marketing.
  • Governed by its own HOA, the River North & River Communities Association, Inc., separate from the country club's membership structure.
