Riverview sits directly across the Petitcodiac River from Moncton, connected by the Gunningsville Bridge and the CN Overpass.

Richard has helped many families make the move to Riverview, and understands what makes each pocket of the town unique — from established Riverview Heights to the newer developments in Pine Glen and Montecristo Woods.

Buying or Selling in Riverview — What You Need to Know

For Buyers

Riverview’s best homes move quickly, particularly in the spring market. Buyers who arrive pre-approved and have clear criteria (school zone, lot size, commute) are best positioned to compete. Richard will give you a realistic picture of what $350,000–$500,000 buys in each Riverview neighbourhood so you can make a confident decision without overpaying.

One thing to note: Riverview is a separate municipality from Moncton and Dieppe, which means its property tax rates are set independently. Richard can walk you through the current Riverview tax rates and how they compare across the three municipalities so there are no surprises after you close.

For Sellers

Riverview’s high homeownership rate and family demand mean well-priced, well-presented homes sell consistently. Richard’s marketing approach — including professional photography, MLS® exposure, and targeted digital reach — consistently attracts qualified buyers. His 5.00-star RankMyAgent rating (22 verified reviews) reflects a track record of satisfied clients on both sides of the transaction.

Is Riverview a good place to buy a home?
Yes — Riverview consistently ranks as one of Greater Moncton’s most desirable places to live. Its low crime rate, strong schools, green space, and quick access to Moncton make it particularly popular with families. The high homeownership rate (about 80%) supports stable long-term property values.
How far is Riverview from downtown Moncton?
Riverview is separated from Moncton by the Petitcodiac River and connected by two bridges — the Gunningsville Bridge and the CN Overpass. A typical commute from central Riverview to downtown Moncton is 5–10 minutes by car, making Riverview extremely convenient for Moncton workers.
Does Richard Wontorra sell homes in Riverview?
Yes. Richard serves buyers and sellers throughout Riverview as part of his Greater Moncton practice. He is based at 1888 Mountain Road, Moncton NB and works across all three municipalities — Moncton, Riverview, and Dieppe — as well as Shediac and surrounding areas.
How does Riverview compare to Dieppe for home buying?
Both are excellent choices, but they appeal to different buyers. Riverview tends to have slightly lower average prices, larger lots, and a quieter character — great for families who want green space and good schools. Dieppe is the region’s fastest-growing community with newer construction, a strong bilingual culture, and slightly higher average prices (~$480,000). Richard can help you compare both markets based on your specific priorities.
