It's a nice area, it has a lot of stores & shopping centers nearby. There isn't a whole lot that goes on, but there is plenty of options for a diverse group of people. The communities are completely diverse, and you see people of all race & ethnicities. There's shooting ranges, movie theaters, sports stores, restaurants, retail stores, grocery stores, an ice skating rink, bowling alleys and a whole lot more. The parks are also pretty nice, they have a lot of parks in many different communities with many different options of activities like skating, biking, exercising, running, hiking, walking, picnicking, relaxing, and playing sports like soccer, basketball, baseball, football, hockey, handball, and kickball. There's even a few places with a public pool. The apartment areas are also really nice and filled with plants & trees in the surrounding areas. They mostly all have pools, work out rooms, laundry rooms, balconies, garages & gated communities. And there's a really drive-in!
The overall experience that I have with living in riverside would be about a four star rating. I give this rating because how well the community bands together. Another reason why I enjoy Riverside is that there is a lot of activities to do in the county. Such as food, events, fairs, farmers markets, bowling, and sports.A big reason I did not give a five star is because of how many homeless people have shown up to Riverside and how much trash they leave. We as a community are trying to keep the city clean , but it is a struggle trying to keep up with the litter. Other than that, I love living in Riverside!
Riverside is a growing city full of new opportunities, housing, and activities! It houses a famous historical site called the Mission Inn that has had the pleasure of providing hospitality to many of our nation's previous presidents. The city is now rapidly industrializing and becoming a center of culture and art. I would recommend visiting Riverside to anyone passing through the valley.
