Top neighborhoods in Riverside

  • University

    What it’s like to live in University

    Academic energy shapes University neighborhood, where affordable housing options surrounding UC Riverside attract students, faculty and staff seeking walking-distance campus access. The district's international markets and restaurants reflect the diverse university population, creating global experiences beyond typical college-town fare. The nearby UCR Botanic Gardens provide peaceful escapes from academic pressures, while the developing commercial district along University Avenue continues adding amenities serving campus-adjacent residents. Though some properties show deferred maintenance reflecting rental market fluctuations, the neighborhood's affordability compared to newer developments creates compelling value for budget-conscious academic households. The primary consideration remains parking competition during class hours, particularly nearest campus buildings, though many properties include off-street options addressing this concern for residents with vehicles.
