The Ivanov family is a pre-made family who lives in Riverview, at 13 Lost Willow Road. Rayna Kaminski's daughter, Nadine Ivanov, has recently married and had two children, and her mother has moved in with the young family. They are a very tight-knit family, except that Rayna dislikes her son-in-law, Yuri Ivanov. They are mostly a musical family. Their names suggest an Eastern-European background, possibly Bulgarian or Russian. By their traveling culture and wardrobe, it is suggested that they may be of Roma descent. They may have been the original owners of the Garage Apartment, where Hal Breckenridge now lives.
