Hey, I'm retired and Rent is about $2,004/month for a decent place. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I've lived in Riverside for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Affordable housing options
- The cost of living scene is solid
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Winters are long and cold
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for families. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
