First things first
East Riverton is in Cinnaminson
Cinnaminson was incorporated in 1860. The boroughs of Riverton and Palmyra were later formed partly from its land, and both are now separate towns with their own governments and taxes.
That history leaves some confusing names. East Riverton is a section of Cinnaminson Township, not part of Riverton Borough, so homes there pay Cinnaminson taxes.
Neighborhoods

Homes
What you will find

- Homes near the river and creeks toward the Delaware River and along Pompeston Creek, where the township keeps several preserved open space parcels.
Worth knowing: Cinnaminson borders the Delaware River, and low ground near the river and the creeks can fall in a mapped flood zone, which affects flood insurance and the lender's requirements. Some section names, like East Riverton, sound like neighboring boroughs, so we confirm the municipality as well as the flood map on every listing.
