Riverview
Riverview is defined by two things – the Lane Cove River foreshore and St Ignatius College Riverview. The suburb draws families from across Sydney who have specifically chosen proximity to one of Australia's leading Jesuit schools, combined with river views and national park adjacency.

Riverview is unique in that its identity is substantially shaped by a single institution – St Ignatius College Riverview. For over 150 years, this Jesuit school has defined the suburb's character and drawn families from across Sydney who have made a specific and considered choice: proximity to a school with an exceptional academic, sporting, and community legacy. The suburb that surrounds it serves these families beautifully – river views, national park adjacency, leafy streets.
The Lane Cove River foreshore and Lane Cove National Park provide Riverview with a natural setting that is extraordinary close to the city. Properties with direct river views command significant premiums and are competed for intensely when they appear. Our buyers agents work the Lane Cove agent community consistently and have the relationships needed to give our clients access to Riverview properties – many of which are handled before any public marketing.

Why choose Mazar Martin as your buyers agent in Riverview
What sets our Riverview
buyers agents apart
01
St Ignatius College – 150-year legacy
St Ignatius College Riverview is one of Australia's most prestigious Jesuit schools with over 150 years of academic, sporting, and community excellence. Families who prioritise proximity to this institution drive consistent demand for Riverview property – a demand that is independent of short-term market conditions and reflects long-term community commitment.
02
Lane Cove River foreshore
Riverview's Lane Cove River foreshore provides direct river access and views that define the suburb's premium positioning. River-view properties command significant premiums over non-view stock, and the foreshore walks provide daily lifestyle quality that most LNS suburbs cannot match.
03
Long-held family community
Like Northwood immediately adjacent, Riverview has a family retention characteristic that is exceptional by LNS standards. Families who move to Riverview for St Ignatius College typically remain through school years and beyond. This residential stability produces a community of genuine depth and a property market defined more by scarcity than by broad turnover.
"Riverview is defined by two things – the Lane Cove River foreshore and St Ignatius College. The school has been one of Australia's leading Jesuit schools for over a century, and the suburb that surrounds it draws families from across Sydney who have specifically sought proximity to Riverview's culture and community. The river frontage, the national park bordering the suburb, and the extraordinary residential quality make it one of the LNS's most desirable family addresses."

"Riverview is unique in that the suburb's identity is substantially shaped by a single institution – St Ignatius College Riverview. The families who choose Riverview are making a specific and considered decision: proximity to a 150-year-old school with an exceptional legacy. The suburb serves these families beautifully. Properties here are held for very long periods and off-market access through our network is the primary buying strategy."
