I moved here about three years ago and thought that I would hate it. But surprisingly it proved to be much more than meets the eye and I ended up falling in love with it. Not only did I have to stay around here for school, but I also eventually found a job and that made living around here much more fun because I could do things that I couldn’t before. The trains, on the other hand, are somewhat annoying. If you get caught by one there’s a possibility that you will be sitting there all day so it’s best to know the alternative routes or you will be majorly out of luck.
Riverdale is a town full of amazing and kind people. I would love to see the reputation of the town change. Many may believe that the neighborhood is bad news, but there are so many connections you can make with the people who reside here.
When i first moved to Riverdale it was awesome. It was a complete change from the urban city enviroment. The stores are walking distant, it's very quiet and lots of parks for children. However, there has been some shooting around the neighborhood. I've been living here for a year in the half but the Riverdale police has been on keeping the crime down.
