Meet Ray & Anne - hear their resident story
After nearly 40 years in East Keilor and a move to a townhouse in Strathmore, Ray and Anne realised stairs were becoming less practical. At Rivervue, they found the peace, comfort and sense of community they had been looking for. They enjoy the wetlands walks, the pool, the gym and Friday happy hour, and say the move has helped them feel more relaxed, more social and rejuvenated.
