Our Story

About Riverwood Trails

The history behind the neighborhood, and what makes it worth taking care of.

A neighborhood with real history

Kings Mills takes its name from the powder mills and the Peters Cartridge Company that once lined the Little Miami's banks — at its peak, one of the most complete ammunition works in the world. That industrial river town has since given way to quiet streets, protected woodland, and a school district families move here for. Riverwood Trails carries that history forward: a community built into the same river valley, on land now defined by trees, trails, and neighbors instead of mills.

Live somewhere worth being proud of

This is a neighborhood residents actively choose to maintain — well-kept homes, consistent architectural standards, and shared green space that reflects the pride owners take in it. Being part of Riverwood Trails means being part of that upkeep, and part of a community that looks, and feels, like somewhere special.
