Riverstone Connect is the private community app for residents of Riverstone in Madera, California - made by residents, for residents. Important stuff gets buried on social media. A lost dog post gets seen eight hours too late. A water shutoff notice sinks under forty other posts. Riverstone Connect fixes that with a real app built just for our neighborhood. VERIFIED NEIGHBORS ONLY Every member verifies their Riverstone address, so everyone here actually lives here. Real names, real neighbors, no spam, no ads, no strangers. THE WIRE - LIVE NEIGHBORHOOD STATUS Power outages, road work, water shutoffs, safety alerts - posted in seconds, confirmed by neighbors, and urgent items reach every resident's phone instantly. No scrolling luck required. THE FRONT PORCH A live community feed with posts, photos, and polls. It updates in real time as neighbors post - and a nightly Golden Hour photo contest crowns the best neighborhood shot every week. EVENTS, PLAYDATES & PICKUP GAMES See everything happening in Riverstone in one place. RSVP in one tap, get a reminder before it starts. Parents can organize playdates by age range, and ballers can cap their pickup runs. EVERY PARK, MAPPED All 20+ Riverstone parks with amenities and directions - plus The Lodge's info one tap away. LOST & FOUND PETS Report a lost or found pet with a photo and map pin. The whole neighborhood gets notified in seconds, and found pets are automatically matched against lost reports. NEIGHBOR MARKETPLACE Babysitting, lawn care, furniture, bikes - buy, sell, and hire from people you can actually trust, with in-app messaging. THE RIVERSTONE GUIDE A built-in assistant that instantly answers questions about parks, events, The Lodge, and how anything in the app works. Free for residents, always. Riverstone Connect is an independent app made by a Riverstone resident and is not affiliated with the HOA or the community developer.
