As the Fox Valley settles into autumn, RiverHeath has become a natural gathering point for those looking to experience the season’s simple pleasures. From spiced coffee drinks to wood-fired pizza and riverside walks, the community offers a mix of things to do against the backdrop of the changing leaves. For residents, life here also means built-in convenience, everyday discounts, and direct access to nature.
Sip on Fall Flavors
At Tempest Coffee Collective, fall arrives not only in the foliage but also on the menu. The café, known for its housemade syrups and carefully crafted drinks, has introduced seasonal offerings that lean into nostalgia and warmth. The Caramel Apple Latte layers housemade caramel with spiced apple syrup. For those who gravitate toward pumpkin each September, the Pumpkin White Mocha blends white mocha syrup with pumpkin spice, finished with a dusting of sugar and spice.
The café features a fully vegan in-house bakery with fresh, daily pastries, as well as a breakfast and lunch menu prepared from scratch. RiverHeath residents also receive 10% off every purchase at Tempest through our Resident Rewards Program.
Pizza, Pints, and Packers
A few steps away, Broken Tree Pizza offers a different kind of autumn ritual: game day. With its mix of wood-fired pies and a rotating beer selection, the restaurant has become a destination for fans looking to watch the Packers while sharing a meal. The Queen Bee pizza is a comforting standout, featuring calabrese salami, mozzarella, red pepper flakes, parmesan, and green chili oil, all balanced by a drizzle of honey.
Broken Tree Pizza serves daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., making it a great option for both lunch and dinner crowds. Find the restaurant inside our Evergreen building, and enjoy 10% off your meal if you are a resident of RiverHeath!
Trails and River Views
Beyond food and drink, RiverHeath’s setting along the Fox River offers one of the best vantage points in the city for fall color. Trails winding through the development connect to Telulah Park, where there’s something for everyone – pickleball courts, a skatepark, and a playground where families gather. Wildlife is a common companion here too, with geese, herons, and eagles moving among the trees as they shift from green to amber.
Wellness Made Easy
Fall at RiverHeath also brings opportunities for wellness and self-care. At Salon Elan, the change of season is the perfect time to go a little darker or add a warm autumn shade to your hair. A small refresh that fits the shift in weather. Revamp offers a more clinical approach to self-care with services in weight loss and hormone therapy. Inside Revamp, you’ll also find Revive Wellness, where IV therapy and vitamin injections provide another path to feeling recharged as the days get shorter. For those looking to move and connect, Grace Under Fire Yoga offers daily classes along with a lineup of playful community events, including its popular Halloween “Glowga” session held under blacklights. Check out special perks for residents from businesses like these. From fitness to beauty to clinical care, RiverHeath puts a full spectrum of wellness within steps of home.
Live Music at Poplar Hall
The community’s fall calendar doesn’t end with food, fitness, or the outdoors; it also extends to the stage. Poplar Hall, the community’s waterfront venue for concerts and events, will host Grammy Award–winning bluegrass artist Molly Tuttle on November 12. Known for her virtuosic guitar playing and songwriting, Tuttle brings a nationally recognized act to a space that has quickly become a hub for music and culture in the Fox Valley.
Overall, life at RiverHeath blends convenience, community, and access to nature in a way that feels especially vivid in the fall. Residents can step outside to grab a seasonal latte, cheer on the Packers, practice yoga, or catch a concert. It’s convenience, community, and culture woven into daily life, and in the fall, it feels especially vivid.
