Riverton is a quiet place to call home, but near busier areas
When it comes to finding a place to live in Salt Lake County, some people prefer quiet areas like Riverton, a bedroom community with plenty of parks and the Mountain View Village shopping center. You have a wide range of housing options, from apartments to large New Traditionals, so people with almost any budget can find a spot here. The area is also close to transportation options, giving residents ways to get to work in Salt Lake City or retail centers nearby, like in South Jordan.

What prices and types of homes to expect in Riverton
Riverton has a range of housing styles and prices. The oldest houses were built around the 1970s, but there are also more recent builds on the west side of the city. You can find apartment complexes throughout, but most people are homeowners. “They've done a pretty good job in developing,” says Rodney Moser, Realtor, managing broker and owner of the Moser Group with NextHome Navigator. “They've got some townhomes next to some single-family [homes], and scattered through the river bottoms are some high-end homes. So, you kind of catch all price points.” Condo units tend to sell in the mid-$300,000s to the upper $400,000s, while modern Craftsman homes and townhouses go in the upper $400,000s to the lower $900,000s. Some of the most expensive homes are substantial New Traditionals that go for about $1.15 million to $1.75 million.
Riverton’s growth brings new builds, from starter homes to move-up options.

The Jordan School District gives families options
The highly rated Jordan School District serves the area, and Riverton has seven elementary schools and two middle schools. Kids can attend Riverton High School, which offers dual-enrollment classes through Salt Lake Community College. “The good part about the Salt Lake Valley, our schools are good everywhere,” Moser says. Parents who want to send their children to schools outside their assigned zones can apply for a school choice permit during the district’s open enrollment period.
Some Riverton students are zoned for Rose Creek Elementary.
Older students might attend Riverton High School.
South Jordan Middle School hosts after-school clubs for students.

Ways to get around Riverton
Riverton is about 20 miles from downtown Salt Lake City, and Interstate 15 offers a direct route. Some people commute all the way up to the University of Utah, but others have a short drive to jobs at the Intermountain Health Riverton Hospital. "Your commute could be 20 minutes to an hour, depending on when you’re hitting the freeways,” Moser says. “The TRAX line runs close to the freeway. You could hop on that, and most TRAX stations have parking lots.” If anyone prefers to take the TRAX to reach Salt Lake City, the Daybreak Station in South Jordan has a line that goes all the way to the U of U. Utah Transit Authority’s 126 bus route offers access to areas like Draper and Bluffdale.
Pocket parks and larger green spaces to explore
The city has over 30 parks, and some residents are close enough to walk to a green space. Out of all the options, though, the most popular spots include:
Riverton City Park, which has walking trails that go past playgrounds and athletic courts
Western Springs Park, with its open grass fields, playgrounds and splash pads
Centennial Park, where people go to play baseball or use the multipurpose field
Riverbend Golf Course, a public 18-hole course
When the South County Outdoor Pool opens for the summer, people buy a daily pass to visit during open swim hours or when the lap lanes are open. The pool’s parking lot is also used by cyclists and hikers who want to leave their cars close to the Jordan River Parkway Trail Riverbend Trailhead.
The Jordan River Parkway Trail invites Riverton locals to walk and bike along the water.
Riverton City Park offers shaded picnic tables for weekend gatherings.

Riverton Rodeo Arena hosts Riverton Town Days, an annual event with fun for the whole family.
Residents catch up during Riverton Town Days
Riverton’s parks and recreation department has an event nearly every month, but one of the biggest that draws visitors from all over is Riverton Town Days. The first event is the three-day rodeo, complete with vendors and skydivers who drop off an American flag to be raised during the national anthem. The rest of Riverton Town Days usually includes a carnival, live music, a parade and races.
Mountain View Village is the main shopping center
When it comes to shopping and dining, the Mountain View Village center is a destination. You can shop at stores like Sephora or Michaels before sitting down for a meal at Flower Child or Peace on Earth Coffee. There’s a Costco in the center, but you can also take a short drive down 13400 South to Walmart for groceries. Retail may be limited in the area, but you’re close to The District in South Jordan and downtown South Jordan, home to the baseball stadium where the Salt Lake Bees play and some of the newest restaurants in the city.
Mountain View Village anchors Riverton with dining, national brands and a movie theater.
Peace on Earth Coffee in Riverton is a family spot for lattes, pastries and breakfast.
