Riverside

Riverside is a unique special town

Swan PondRiverside is a wonderful and unique village planned and designed by renowned landscaped architect and urban planner Frederick Olmsted just after the Civil War. Designed to incorparate the environment, the business district and curvilear streets rather than the traditional grid pattern, Riverside boasts 900 acres of forest preserve plus 134 acres of park land spread out among 41 small parks and 5 large ones.

The architecture is marvelous and diverse throughout the village. The history is rich and the location is unbeatable, only 7 miles to Chicago, 12 miles to downtown, 30 minutes from both OHare and Midway and less than 20 minutes on the Burlington Northern Railroad to Chicago's loop and walking distance to world famous Brookfield Zoo.

My family has been in the area for 5 generations and I would love to help you discover the gem of Chicago's Western Suburbs. I have provided links to to help acquaint you with some of Riverside's many amenities.

Riverside real estate is a great investment. See Homes currently for sale in Riverside at the bottom of this page.
