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.
