RiverCrest is located in Upper Providence Township. This historic municipality with its rich agricultural roots, was incorporated in 1805. The Schuylkill River, which runs along the western border of the township has played a prominent role in the region. The Schuylkill Canal, built in the early 1800’s, passed through the township, bringing coal from the rich Allegheny coal fields to the port of . The community’s name is a tribute to this scenic and historic waterway.

Upper Providence is located on the western border of Central Montgomery County. With easy access to major highways such as the Turnpike, US Route 202 and 422, and Interstate 476 and 76, residents of the township have easy access to many employment, shopping, and historical centers. The Valley Forge National Historical Park and King of Prussia Mall are two of the local attractions which are conveniently located just minutes from RiverCrest.

RiverCrest, with its scenic views and preserved open space, is the perfect compliment to this beautiful township. The private RiverCrest Golf Club, which winds through the community, adds to the beauty of this prime location.
