    "I wouldn't call Riverside a "family" based side of town. It certainly can sire a family, but I wouldn't recommend the public schools here for kids. It's getting very crowded in Riverside, and I've lived here for over 20 years. However, if you're a young couple starting out, or in college with roomies, then it's very inviting, the night life is nice, plenty of hot spots, restaurants, shopping, live music etc. This side of town is for rich folk who's kids have moved out, or for young adults."

    "There are many parks, a library, ice cream and other restaurants that are kid-friendly. The neighborhood is full of sidewalks, which enable exploration by foot or bike or scooter. There aren’t many quiet streets to let kids ride bikes freely, but you can find some less busy, more protected streets if you look around. "
