Named for the picturesque stretch of water on which it sits, the Riverside neighborhood offers striking views of the Saint Johns River. Residents have ample opportunities to take in the sights because of this charming neighborhood’s walkable layout, with convenient placement of restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and parks close to the rivers.
The heart of Riverside is the quirky Five Points area, a retail and dining district named for its five-way intersection. Here, locals enjoy catching a flick at the historic Sun Ray Cinema, which shows first-run and indie films, in addition to perusing the diverse eateries and shops in the area.

Like most cities, it depends on where you live. I feel safe in my neighborhood, but there are areas of town that I would not feel safe in during the day. I avoid those areas and I don't worry about crime very often.

I like that I live in a quiet neighborhood, but there is always something to do nearby. Having the beach a short drive away is great. The city has a lot to offer, you just have to look for it.

Hovan is a locally owned Mediterranean restaurant in the Five points area of Riverside. The cuisine is authentic and the staff are a pleasure to interact with. Hovan hands down has the best gyros in town. It also features a patio area right in the center of Five Points were you can overlook the area filled with shops.
