The neighbourhood
About Riverview
Riverview earns the name. It sits along the Bow on Cochrane's south side of the old town, and the river pathway functions as the community's main street — commuters cycling it, retrievers patrolling it, herons supervising the whole operation.
Most of the homes went up through the 1980s and 90s on generous lots, along curving streets built for kids on bikes rather than through traffic. The trees have filled in. The effect is a town-scale version of lake living, except the water is world-class trout river and there is no membership.
The Cochrane Golf Club at 240 Riverview Drive sits inside the community, as does Riverfront Park — the Town's primary riverfront facility — a short walk from the residential streets. The gravel shoreline is a two-minute walk down from the homes above.
For a Calgary buyer
How it compares if you are coming from the city
The honest Calgary comparison is a Bowness or a Riverbend: an established river neighbourhood where the pathway is the amenity. Riverview gives you the same idea with a golf course inside the boundary and a trout river instead of a canal.
If you want the river frontage with newer construction, cross the Bow and look at Riversong, Riviera and Precedence instead. Same water, different decade of house.

Questions
Riverview — common questions
Is there flood risk?
Most of Riverview sits well above the floodplain, but flood-plain mapping differs by address. Ask before you write, not after.
Can you fish from here?
The Bow through Cochrane is genuine blue-ribbon trout water, and residents walk to it.
Who buys in Riverview?
Families who want an established house, people who are actually outside most days, and buyers who will take mature trees and river access over a new kitchen.
