2 Reviews & Comments About Riverside
I would say crime rate in Riverside is down and most crimes are low on the scale of severity. I love the school systems and houses. They have a mix of many things to do like parks, swimming, rock climbing, trampoline parks. Someone visiting can defiantly find something to do.
I love the trampoline parks. I love the parks and outdoor just site seeing. I would say sometimes they do not have toilet paper in park restrooms and here and there homeless people with be there but most friendly. trampoline parks can get crowded.
I've lived in Riverside most of my life and never once heard it refered to by anyone as wiggerside.
Of course I can't hear much of anything over the ranchero music...||But I promise you the acre of land I live on in Riverside is 100% more picturesque and beautiful then the shithole apartment your typing this clickbate from somewhere in Canoga Park."
