Other things to note

ATTRACTIONS:
1. McCormick Convention Center (only 13 miles away)
2. Museums--Museums of Science & Industry, Natural History.
3. Shedd Aquarium
4. Art Institute
5. Numerous tours by boat, bikes, train, walking, segway
6. Famous Brookfield Zoo (5 minutes from home)
7. Loyola Hospital (5 minutes away)
Riverside has the most charming tiny downtown area with the train station, library that overlooks the Des Plaines River, great restaurants, Aunt Diane's Candy (a must) & probably the smallest grocery store you've seen (yet it seems to have everything) You park once & yet walk to all these OR walk from home for a 15 minute walk.
Very easy access to All the Chicago attractions. You can literally walk to the train station & ride the RTA to downtown as many commuters do every day--OR walk 5-10 minutes to the bus stop. Driving to downtown is approx. 20 minutes. So much to see & do is available & yet live in a peaceful, friendly neighborhood Village !

About the host
Hosted by Gregg

Originally, a Riverside resident. Riverside has always seemed like a Norman Rockwell slice of America. I have traveled around the world but Riverside is still what i consider home
Why they chose this property
Its a great close knit neighborhood where the neighbors look out for each other. They hold block parties and events throughout the year
