A new standard in luxury retirement living is coming to Alexandria, Virginia. The Riviera will offer a sophisticated, all-inclusive lifestyle for those who want more from their next chapter. Designed with comfort, convenience, and curated living in mind, this exclusive community will feature 129 beautifully appointed one- and two-bedroom residences available for monthly rental—no buy-in required.

At The Riviera, everything is taken care of. The all-inclusive model covers utilities, condo fees, housekeeping, and maintenance, allowing residents to enjoy a worry-free lifestyle. Rates will be set monthly, with pricing dependent on the selected floor plan. Residents can expect starting points around $10,000/month for a one-bedroom and $20,000/month for a two-bedroom, with rates honored for 12 months and only 30 days’ notice required for changes.

Dining at The Riviera will be a standout experience featuring a Michelin-starred chef and a dedicated sommelier. A unique point system will allow residents to use credits toward meals, creating a personalized, elevated approach to food service that feels more like a luxury resort than a traditional senior community.

Amenities will rival those of five-star hotels. An indoor pool, concierge service, and 24/7 doorman and valet ensure residents are pampered daily. The atmosphere draws inspiration from Ritz-Carlton-level hospitality. A dedicated social director will thoughtfully curate programming, offering residents a dynamic schedule of activities, events, and wellness offerings.


Downsizing is a big step at any age. Do you have questions? Looking for answers? Here are a few more downsizing posts you might enjoy:


The Riviera is designed for independent living and is not an assisted living facility. However, it does offer discreet access to wellness and care through exclusive partnerships with skilled nursing and concierge health providers. Private transportation—including car service—is available, and partnerships extend to estate planning, senior move managers, and other lifestyle support professionals. These “Signature Partners” will be available behind the scenes, ready to support residents.

Residents must be at least 62, though younger spouses are welcome. Guest suites will be available for visiting families and can be rented when additional space is needed. Depending on size and need, each unit includes one to two parking spaces.

An initial $20,000 non-refundable entrance fee grants residents access to The Riviera’s Signature Partners and services. Whether residents are downsizing, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking an elegant, maintenance-free lifestyle, The Riviera offers a graceful, turn-key solution for transitional or long-term living.

A comprehensive move-in process will ensure a smooth and easy transition for every new resident. Here at The Goodhart Group, we are excited to be partners with The Riviera.
