The community is mostly located in
unincorporated areas, primarily within the extraterritorial jurisdictions of the cities of
Sugar Land and
Missouri City. Much of the early development (some 500 homes) was in the Missouri City ETJ portion, but about 60% of the total land area and most of the future homes will be in Sugar Land ETJ. Riverstone stretches from
State Highway 6 on the northeast to the
Brazos River on the southwest. It is bounded on the north by the Bridgewater neighborhood of The Commonwealth master-planned community in Sugar Land, the Lakes of Austin Park, and Heritage Colony neighborhoods of
First Colony in Sugar Land and Missouri City respectively, and Sugar Land's Maranatha Farms. To the east are First Colony's Colony Lakes neighborhood and the Sienna Village neighborhoods of
Sienna, both in Missouri City, and Sugar Land's Pecan Manor is adjacent to part of the south boundary. Riverstone falls into
ZIP codes 77459 and 77479, respectively served by the Missouri City and Sugar Land post offices. Some of the Missouri City properties fall into the latter ZIP code, thus having Sugar Land mailing addresses. The primary thoroughfares are University Boulevard, which connects the community with the
Southwest Freeway (
U.S 59/I-69) through the Avalon and Brazos Landing communities in the west and State Highway 6 in the east, LJ Parkway, which connects it to The Commonwealth and First Colony in the north and Sienna in the south, and Riverstone Boulevard in the northeast, which connects it to First Colony in the west and Highway 6 in the east. Oilfield Road is also located in the southeast, which links it with some of the Colony Lakes neighborhoods of First Colony. == Economy ==
