Welcome to Riverside, Burlington County, New Jersey. We are an up and moving
small town where you can experience not only our historic roots, but you also can
be an important component of our exciting future. Riverside is part of the River
Route, a Regional Redevelopment Area recognized as one of the top 10 growth
regions in the country. In fact, Inc. magazine recently named Burlington County
among the top 10 "hottest" areas in the nation.
Only about 20 minutes from downtown Philadelphia and 90 minutes from Manhattan with
easy access via River Line trains, our township is perfectly situated along the beautiful
Rancocas Creek as it flows into the great Delaware River. Riverside covers an area of just
one square mile with generous residential avenues and streets centered on a "small town Main Street"
business district. This puts residents only minutes away from the light rail station
We are working on three separate and distinct redevelopment sites
that promise to attract new residents, businesses and commuters.
Please come stroll our streets. Visit our interesting shops and open spaces. Learn about
our landmark clock tower listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This Watchcase represents a storied past and stands witness to Riverside's electrifying
progress. One look and you will see: Riverside has a lot to offer residents, visitors and
businesses alike. Riverside is a great little town. We would love for you to join us!
