Rentals in the Northside are mid-range to upscale, and residents appreciate the lower cost of living when compared to surrounding areas. With sunny weather, locals can take advantage of Northside's amazing parks all year round. Head to Reid Park to play on every sort of sports court or watch a meet at the Riverside City Cross Country Course. Mount Rubidoux Park and Fairmount Park, two popular green spaces, are next door to the neighborhood as well. Renters are also attracted to Northside’s excellent location. The University of California, Riverside rests just two miles southeast of Northside.

There is not a lot of crime in Riverside. One time I walked from my local college all the way home in the middle of the night and remained unharmed and safe. The only thing that could be a little scary at times are the homeless, because they are sometimes difficult to see at night and they might startle you with their sudden presence.

The neighborhood is generally quiet due to the larger demographics of middle aged to older people (60+). 40% of the neighborhood consists of children, teens, and young adults that are mildly active in the neighborhood on a daily basis.
