With thriving businesses in the Mountain View Shopping Village and across the city, Riverton enjoys the same economic growth as other areas in the southwest corner of Salt Lake Valley while maintaining a close-knit community with large single-family homes and community events like the annual week-long River Town Days celebration. “To our west is more high-density housing, and to our south is more rural areas with bigger, more expensive lots,” says Joshua Lee, Director of Communications & Public Affairs for the city. “Riverton has a touch of everything. Different types of homes, places to shop, and you still have that small town feel that we pride ourselves on.”

Late 20th-century traditional homes on large lots
A mix of new and well-maintained homes in various styles are available throughout the area. Although Riverton sits a little way back from the Wasatch Front, some homes with porches and decks enjoy Mountain views. Older Bi-level and ranch-style homes from the ‘70s and ‘80s with three bedrooms and large front yards often sell for between $400,000 and $550,000, while ‘90s Traditional multi-story homes with four bedrooms, stucco exteriors and two-car garages sell for between $600,000 and $750,000. Recently built five-bedroom New Traditional homes feature stone exteriors and white gable trim on half-acre lots with manicured landscaping selling for $850,000 or over $1 million with private pools.

Local eateries and chains in Mountain View Village
Mountain View Village is the main shopping hub in Riverton, with large retailers like TJ Maxx and Old Navy, as well as local restaurants and bakeries. "You can find just about everything from mom-and-pop shops to national chains. That's where most people do their shopping," Lee says. "Because of these businesses' success, we can keep taxes low." Locals can visit the family-owned Peace on Earth Coffee to enjoy a drink, pastry or an item off their breakfast menu. For dinner, Las Botellas offers sizzling Mexican cuisine in an upscale dining environment. When it's time for a grocery run, Costco and Walmart are next to the shopping center.

Among nine trails and paved walking paths that wind throughout Riverton, the 45-mile Jordan River Trail is the most well-known. With two trailheads in Riverton, the path runs through the entire Salt Lake Valley and connects hikers with outlying areas. Additionally, more than three dozen parks are sprinkled across the city, the most popular of which is Riverton City Park, packed with playgrounds, picnic tables, athletic courts and a skate park.
