What it’s like to live in Riverside
Historic character defines Riverside, where Columbus's northwestern neighborhood features distinctive architecture spanning multiple design eras. The district surrounds multiple parks including Whetstone Park with its popular rose gardens, while the nearby Clintonville commercial district provides walkable amenities unusual for typically car-dependent Midwestern cities. Though some properties show their age with vintage systems requiring occasional maintenance, the established tree canopy provides natural beauty and cooling shade during Ohio summers – advantages impossible to replicate in newer developments with recently planted landscaping.
