River Run 55+ is an independent living manufactured home community in Exeter, New Hampshire. The community sits along a river and attracts residents primarily on fixed incomes, particularly Social Security.
Reviews reveal a divided picture. Some residents praise the natural setting, the river access, walking paths, and quiet atmosphere appeal to those seeking a peaceful retirement environment. However, the majority of recent reviews center on significant concerns since the community changed ownership to Cobblestone Properties. Residents report substantial and repeated increases in HOA fees (one family noted a $165 increase in 18 months), deteriorating maintenance standards, and management responsiveness to repair issues. One long-time resident wrote, "People feel they are running us all out." Multiple families describe feeling financially strained by mounting costs on limited retirement incomes, and several have chosen to relocate. Management turnover has also been cited as a recurring problem.
The community holds a 3.4 out of 5 rating across 17 Google reviews. Prospective residents should weigh the natural amenities against the operational challenges and financial trajectory that current residents have experienced.
