Welcome to North Riverside

North Riverside is a popular estate located around 1mile from the Town Centre with great links to Town and beyond. The estate is also a short walk from North Road train station.

At the heart of North Riverside are two community centres, The Havelock Centre and Richard Court, where the local community regularly come together for events such as seasonal events and charity days as well as a safe community hub.

A large proportion of our properties at North Riverside are part of our Good Neighbour Scheme which focuses on a person’s independence. Tenants will have the freedom to carry out day to day activities with the advantage of having a Scheme Manager on hand in times of need.

The majority of properties within North Riverside are one bedroom flats with different alternatives available such as bungalows, maisonettes and 3 bedroom properties.

North Riverside is also a stone’s throw from Northwood Primary School and within a mile of secondary school Longfield Academy.

Havelock Centre and Richard Court

Havelock Street and Richard Court are two good neighbour schemes that are in close proximity to each other. Both community centres have the same scheme manager and are open to all tenants for their enjoyment.
