About

Riverton

Riverton, located between Forest Avenue and the Presumpscot River, is a residential and riverside Portland neighborhood with a village-style main street and a network of wooded trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Riverton Trolley Park area along Forest Avenue, where corner markets, takeout counters, and everyday services create a steady street rhythm. Longfellow’s Greenhouses anchors local plant culture, while Riverton Community Center and the adjacent Riverton Trolley Park serve as civic touchstones. Housing leans toward early-to-mid-century capes and colonials with deep yards and mature trees. River edges and nearby preserves shape a routine of walks, runs, and seasonal birdwatching. The pace stays practical and grounded, with downtown reached via Forest Avenue corridors.
