Hi all, Poverty rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $789,200 on average. It's a a small town city with about 10,424 people. You can expect to pay around $1,924 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -Gunbarrel sits at 232.1 per 100K. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development. Let me know your thoughts. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

I've lived in Riverside for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Lots of new development happening
- The pet-friendliness scene is tough
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for families. Definitely worth checking out..

Hot take but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. I know a lot of people disagree but after 13 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Used to live on the West side, now on the The Heights side. Completely different vibe. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is outdoor recreation. it's been a really good experience overall. Worth doing your research before committing.
