Riverside, California

Named for its location along side the Santa Ana River, Riverside is a part of what is called the Inland Empire in Southern California. Close enough to Orange County and Los Angeles, it is home to many people who commute but it is an area rich with its own history.

Early on, Riverside was the first site for commercial growing oranges in California. The first orange trees were planted in 1871 which evolved into the area becoming one of the main suppliers of citrus fruits. That first tree still lives on a traffic island at the corners of Magnolia and Arlington and it still bears fruit.

Riverside was a wealthy area and is known for being the first locations in California for both a golf course and a polo field.

Climbing Mt. Rubidoux

There are four historical and art museums in Riverside as well as a impressive botanical garden center. Hiking and biking are available in the Box Springs Nature Preserve, but a climb to the top of Mt. Rubidoux is worth the effort for the sunset views alone.

From your new Riverside apartment, you'll find you are near parks, very good shopping in both malls and main street style boutiques. The Riverside International Film Festival attracts world known directors and films, and the film lover won't want to miss this annual event.

Defining Riverside

Neighborhoods in Riverside are defined by its center, the University of California at Riverside. From the campus the city divides out into quadrants. Downtown has some interesting areas and is worth looking at.

Canyon Drive has older apartments and is full of both students and retirees while offering some very good deals on Riverside apartments. In the hill areas, it is more suburban and quieter residential neighborhoods.

Quintessential Eats

Eating out in Riverside offers many choices. Mexican food is very popular as are other ethnic style foods. Perhaps, one of the most favorite places in town is the The Lucky Greek, where you'll get the quintessential burger. From high end hotel dining to finding dives in your own Riverside neighborhood, you'll find a big selection.

Drive-In Movies

There are two drive-in movie theatres that still operate in Riverside which are great fun at night. If bars are more to your nightlife liking, try The Yard House or Killarney's, an Irish pub with live music some nights. Once settled in your Riverside apartment, you'll quickly be discovering your own favorites.
