Contemporary terraces on offer within SA’s innovative Oakden Rise community

Nestled in Adelaide’s north, Oakden Rise is a vibrant new community that boasts the convenience of inner-city living in lush surrounds.

Now, a selection of terrace home designs by Rivergum, one of South Australia’s biggest medium-density builders, is on offer – allowing prospective buyers to secure a spacious and sleek city home on a low-maintenance block.

And with a choice of stylish designs, impressive sustainability-focused features and a fantastic array of amenities, buyers have plenty of reasons to buy into the thriving community.

There’s a range of styles to choose from in this innovative community.


Low-maintenance luxury

Rivergum’s Terrace range delivers the best of both worlds: an elegant architecturally designed home that’s big on comfort and space yet is compact enough to provide low-maintenance living.

At Oakden Rise, buyers can choose between two contemporary designs: the Verve, which has a six-metre frontage with three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and one car space and the Vivid, which comes with a slightly more space-efficient 4.5-metre frontage, three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and one car space.

Across each design, there are three chic facades to pick from: a traditional facade with classic styling; a modern facade with slat detailing; and a curved facade with organic architectural elements.

Despite being on narrower blocks, the clever home designs maximise space by arranging the floor plans to optimise functionality and flow, creating an airy and open feel.

There’s also a spacious upstairs balcony in both designs that provides an ideal spot for relaxation and outdoor entertaining, and ample natural light to enhance the sense of openness.

“We’ve focused on separating the dining and the living spaces – what we’re trying to do there is just focus on natural light coming through to those two areas. That’s predominantly where the family hangs out,” New Home Consultant at Rivergum Michael DeBono says.

“We’ve made all the bedrooms big enough to put in built-in wardrobes while still accommodating a double bed.”

All in all, the designs are innovative and versatile, and suited to discerning buyers looking for modern, efficient living.

Modern, innovative and efficient – these homes are perfect for buyers looking to enjoy low maintenance living.


Sustainability at its core

There’s a huge focus on sustainability at Oakden Rise, and Rivergum’s Terrace range is no different. One of the most exciting aspects of the homes is their environmentally conscious design.

“We’ve designed the houses to significantly reduce energy costs,” says Mr. DeBono.

He highlights features such as double-glazed windows, a 3.5-kilowatt solar system with an optional upgrade to 6.6 kilowatts including battery storage, steel frame construction, and the exclusive use of electricity without gas.

Rivergum is currently building a 7-star, no-bill display home within the Oakden Rise Display Village.

Opening in late 2025, the home will allow buyers to experience the incredible quality, innovative design and sustainable living features for themselves.

Convenient community living

Developed by Villawood Properties, the wider Oakden Rise community is a tranquil yet well-equipped place to live.

The 45-hectare expanse includes an abundance of lush outdoor spaces, including specially designed parks, playgrounds, 30 kilometres of walking and cycling tracks, and plenty of spots to kick back and relax with other residents or guests.

Every single home within the development is within 200 metres of open green space, giving residents easy access to the great outdoors.

The development is also home to South Australia’s very first Villawood Community Club, which acts as a hub for the community and is designed to foster connections between neighbours.

Inside, there are excellent amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a cafe, a parents’ lounge with a play area for toddlers, a multipurpose room that can be hired for events, and a lounge area for residents to gather.

Outside, there’s a pool, multipurpose sports court, outdoor play equipment and barbecue facilities.
