Right on the water. Right where you want to be.


In 1851, a group of ten Philadelphians commissioned noted architect Samuel Sloan to design a village on 120 acres of land nestled between the Delaware River and the Camden and Amboy Railroad. The town would be named Riverton, a summer escape that offered easy access to Philadelphia.

More than 150 years later, Riverton remains a charming Victorian riverfront community. Less than one square mile, historic Riverton has retained its small town charm. This quaint community is a year-round retreat for residents and visitors who are drawn by its character, relaxing atmosphere, and proximity to Philadelphia.
