The Courtyards on Riverside

Independent Assessment

Epcon's own site, Zillow, newhomesource, topretirements, and the community's own resident association site (courtyardsriverside.org) consistently describe The Courtyards on Riverside as a 136-home, single-story ranch community in Dublin near the Scioto River, and sources agree it began construction in 2019 and is now in its final phase. Epcon's marketing describes the community as '55+ or Age Restricted,' but also explicitly notes it is 'welcoming of residents of all ages and stages of life' -- language that reads closer to age-targeted marketing than a strictly enforced legal restriction, and no Dublin zoning document or recorded plat restriction confirming a legal HOPA designation specific to this community was found.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a boutique, low-maintenance ranch-home community in a scenic riverside setting close to downtown Dublin, Bridge Park, and the Dublin/Columbus dining and entertainment scene will find The Courtyards on Riverside appealing, particularly those who value a smaller, more intimate community over a large master-planned campus.

Homes, Builders & Development History

The Courtyards on Riverside was developed by Epcon Communities beginning construction in 2019, delivering luxury ranch homes with private garden courtyards in a park-like setting overlooking the Scioto River. The community totals 136 single-family homes and is now reported in its final phase of construction.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Homes at The Courtyards on Riverside are reported starting in the upper $400,000s, consistent with its riverside Dublin location near downtown and Bridge Park. Buyers should confirm current pricing and remaining inventory directly with Epcon, given the community's final-phase status.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

With the community reported in its final construction phase, buyers should confirm directly with Epcon whether any new-construction lots or quick move-in homes remain, or work with a local agent to identify resale inventory from among the community's earlier-built sections.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at The Courtyards on Riverside are subject to Dublin, Franklin County property tax administration and Dublin City School District taxes. The association's master insurance coverage, reserve-fund health, and any special assessment history were not independently confirmed; buyers should request the association's current financials and reserve study before purchasing. Ohio offers a Homestead Exemption property tax reduction for qualifying senior and disabled homeowners; buyers should confirm current eligibility with the Franklin County Auditor.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

The Courtyards on Riverside follows Epcon's boutique Courtyards format -- single-story luxury ranch homes with private garden courtyards -- set apart from other Columbus-area Epcon communities by its scenic, park-like Scioto River-overlooking location. The clubhouse's fitness center and pool anchor community life, while the riverside setting and proximity to Dublin's Bridge Park district support an active, walkable lifestyle uncommon among the more suburban candidates in this cluster.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

The Courtyards on Riverside sits in Dublin, Franklin County, overlooking the Scioto River and just minutes from downtown Dublin, the Bridge Park mixed-use district, parks, dining, shopping, and entertainment. The location offers strong walkability to Dublin's core.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Epcon markets The Courtyards on Riverside as '55+ or Age Restricted,' but the same marketing also describes the community as welcoming residents of all ages and stages of life, which points toward age-targeted marketing rather than a strictly enforced legal restriction. A Dublin zoning ordinance, recorded plat, or HOA declaration specific to this community confirming a legal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) restriction was not found. Buyers should request the community's actual recorded covenants and confirm current age-verification requirements directly with the HOA before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because the community is reported to be in its final phase, buyers interested in new construction should act on remaining inventory promptly and confirm current availability directly with Epcon, since later phases may sell out. A current HOA fee, whether the community carries a legally recorded age restriction versus marketing language that itself notes openness to all ages, and exact current pricing could not be confirmed; buyers should verify all three independently.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

The Courtyards on Riverside is Epcon's Dublin entry in this Columbus-area cluster, distinguished from the New Albany and Powell Courtyards communities by its scenic Scioto River setting and closer walkable proximity to a downtown core (Dublin's Bridge Park district). Its final-phase construction status also puts it further along in build-out than the newer Courtyards at Haines Creek or Courtyards of Hyatts Village.
