The Underappreciated Side of Riverside

[cityimrov]

Why aren't more suburban neighborhoods like this?  True, Riverside isn't as walkable as a downtown central district, but it's 100x more walkable then most of the new community and developments we have here!  Riverside even has lots of trees to keep cool during the summer months!  The unique architecture of each house is something I haven't seen much in the more "modern" suburbs.  

Every new development I visit, every new master plan neighborhood I've seen (e.g. Eagle Harbor, etc) none of them seem to match the charm of the Riverside/San Marco area.  I don't think Riverside houses even have HoAs (not certain about) and all the politics and infighting it produces!

Wonderful article; makes me proud to live in the neighborhood.  Sometimes we forget how fortunate we are to have our historic homes, mature trees, and such diversity.
