At Riverwoods Durham, the natural beauty and academic culture of Durham meet the active RiverWoods way of life. Come for a visit at any time, and you’ll find our residents working up a sweat in the fitness center, auditing a class at the university, walking the trails around our campus or building toys for their grandkids in the woodshop. In this community, there’s a wealth of opportunities to suit every interest.
One of the more unique aspects of our community is our affiliation with the University of New Hampshire at Durham. UNH is in the country’s top 20% in research funding and holds land-grant, sea-grant and space-grant charters. UNH’s Wildcats are national contenders with more than 20 Division 1 sports teams, and the campus is home to over 30 student-run arts organizations.
Many of our residents are UNH faculty and student alumni and love spending time on campus. Through our unique partnership with UNH, RiverWoods Durham residents each receive their own UNH/RiverWoods Durham affiliate ID that can be used to access the campus, the library, and receive special UNH specific discounts on events.
Our residents come from a diverse background of professions and personal interests. Aside from the interesting life stories shared among residents, there are organized discussion groups on topics ranging from history and politics to investing and books.
Most residents remark that they’ve become more active socially and physically since moving to RiverWoods. Life here brings every resident the opportunity to make new friends who share your common interests.
Every month, we handle the logistics for various field trips and outings to points of interest, museums, and other venues on the Seacoast. From Portland to Boston, there are many interesting and educational places to visit like Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Harvard’s Natural History Museum, and so many more.
