In the last year alone the neighborhood has jumped off the scale. The downside of dropping real estate  prices has made the most desirable community possible for many positive community builders, particularly artists (as pointed out in the article).
A big hats off to Carmin Godwin of RAP, an unbelievable power of riverside.
I had an idea this neighborhood would turn in the direction its going, but never thought it would accomplish so much!
Flattering to be in the same group as Williamsburg.

Classic architecture dotted the area, including Colonial Revival, Georgian and Tudor homes.

No mention of Riverside's signature Prairie Style?  I suspect the author has never even been near Riverside.

I'm okay with that.

Real estate prices may be dropping, but they are holding up better in places that are more walkable (like Riverside).

Pre-WW2 buildings are almost always a good investment, and Riverside is a fine place to find them. Good nod to the Prairie style; Riverside has plenty of buildings that are a fascinating attempt at trying to reconcile that style with the history and climate of the area, often with results both unique and favorable.
