"Riverside has access to everything as you a couple minutes from Mill Ave. The 10 freeway is also close as well as Sky Harbor airport. Everything you probably need is within a 15 minute drive if that. "

"This is an area that is changing and becoming more urban friendly. As someone else noted, a nice mix of transportation options with the local free bus Orbit, along with the light rail, within walking distance, and the bike paths are well laid out and the walkability score is quite high (my house is 77) and should continue to improve. Right now they are finishing up West 6th, the two large towers off of Mill, and that should provide some additional retail (probably to include at least a small grocery store) and a low income seniors community is being built right now, that should have 56 residencies, is being built right now in the Farmer's Arts district between 5th and 6th St and between the train tracks and Wilson Ave, which will improve the diverse mix of the community. Finally, there are so many things to do in this area, from events at Gammage and play houses on ASU to cultural events at Tempe Center for the Arts and regular events at Tempe Town Lake and annual street fairs on Mill Avenue. As someone else noted, the area also has quite a selection of restaurants to choose from ranging from extremely affordable and casual (e.g. Casey Moore's) to fairly high end and upscale (e.g. Cafe Boa). For those who like to be able to walk out there door and have a variety of options to choose from in the immediate area, a nice place to live. Even my parents, who have retired and want to move to Phoenix, have fallen in love with this area and want to find a place in the surrounding community. By the way, not a Realtor, I actually moved out here so I could catch the light rail to work and now my favorite part of the area, being able to take walks by Tempe Town Lake, great exercise and a wonderful view, and it is only, as far as I can tell, going to get better."
