If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it exceeded my expectations. Internet is better than expected in most areas.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want cultural scene, then yeah this place is great. But if healthcare matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I'm a nurse and I've found it exceeded my expectations. The community is better than expected and there's always something going on.

I've lived in Riverside for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Affordable housing options
- The public transit scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Hope this helps!.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem surprisingly good.
I've been here 2 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The East side vs the Eastside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is cultural scene. it was the best decision I ever made. Worth doing your research before committing.
