Victoria Riverside, CA

Situated just east of downtown Riverside, the Victoria neighborhood provides its residents with the amenities of a city and the sights of an historic community. The tree-lined streets flow along the natural landscape contours of the picturesque Tequesquite Arroyo, which forms a geographical barrier from other neighborhoods. This arroyo provides open space for recreational endeavors and plays host to the Victoria Club golf course and park. Residents enjoy three neighborhood parks, where they gather for picnics, games of horseshoe, and leisurely walks. A popular eatery, the Soup Shoppe, lies on the eastern edge of Riverside proper, making it an easy-to-reach diner for breakfast and brunch.

Victoria is a very peaceful, quiet neighborhood. I dislike, however,that most people don't seem to know or interact with their neighbors and that many amenities are not within walking distance.

I don't drink or club, but there are some affordable options for dining.
