A BRIEF HISTORY: In the 1960s, the area now defined as Riverside Estates Community was originally owned by The RamsRod and Gun Club on the south side of the Lehigh River, across from the picnic area. This wilderness acreage was originally purchased by Alpha Gamma Associates, and was sub-divided into 128 individual building lots with a minimum size of one acre per lot. In 1979, Riverside Estates Community Association was subsequently established in conformity with Township/County/State rules and regulations for planned communities, with Covenants, Restrictions, and Reservations registered with Coolbaugh Township, Monroe County, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Today, Riverside Estates Community is a matured, rural, low-key association of lot owners and homeowners who agree to abide by the Rules and Regulations set forth by its founders. |
