Transportation
The best way to get around in Riverside is usually a car. It is very convenient to park. However, the public transit network in Riverside is not very convenient. Nevertheless, property owners are served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are commonly nearby. It is challenging to commute by bicycle in this area as there are quite a few elevation changes, and the bicycling infrastructure is not very well-developed. Riverside is also not particularly conducive to walking since few daily errands can be run without having to use a vehicle.
Services
House buyers in Riverside typically have to turn to a vehicle to travel to the nearest supermarket. Nevertheless, it is generally a reasonably short distance to the closest pharmacy, which can supply some basic food items. With respect to education, primary schools and daycares are convenient to walk to from anywhere in this area. However, it can be challenging to access high schools on foot.
Character
Riverside is very good for those who prefer a quiet atmosphere, as the streets are very calm. Green spaces aren't well-situated, resulting in them being very hard to access from most locations within this area.
