My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is cost of living. Other than that, Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's not perfect but it works for me. Internet is underrated in most areas.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are pretty good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I've lived in Riverside for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The pet-friendliness scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
