Honest thoughts on life in East Riverdale
Curious what people think. I'm retired and The unemployment rate is 5.7%, which is about average. Median household income is $82,401, which feels pretty solid for the area. Poverty rate is 16.9%, which is higher than I expected. With a population of 19,043, East Riverdale is a small town. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Diverse community
- Easy commute
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown
