The people of Riverside live a charmed life. From the charming orchards and hillside views to the old school charm of downtown to the oh-so charming Riverside residents, this sunny California city has a delightful soul.
The history of Riverside is said to have started in Eliza’s garden. Eliza Tibbets, the activist-spiritualist-agriculturalist and incredibly interesting Riverside pioneer, planted two Brazilian orange trees in 1873. The trees grew, their fruits became a big hit at local fairs, clones were grafted from the buds, and bam, the second California Gold Rush was on. One of Eliza’s two original trees still lives, bearing fruit at the corner of Magnolia and Arlington in the middle of Riverside.
Flash forward to modern-day Riverside and you will find a flourishing metropolis with all the perks of big city living. Shops, restaurants and nightlife are all at your doorstep. From the gastropub scene at the Salted Pig to the festive fare at Mezcal Cantina, there is no shortage of food options here. If you’re looking for fun, you can catch a Flamenco show at Cafe Sevilla, go dancing with the Empire Swing Orchestra, or check out the hip bohemian scene at Back To The Grind, a popular spot with coffee, live music, art shows and vegan grub.
In Riverside, CA, residents appreciate the many outdoor activities available, particularly along the scenic Santa Ana River and in the nearby mountains. Local parks are noted for their well-kept environments, making them popular spots for relaxation and recreation. Many also highlight the vibrant dining and shopping options in the downtown area. However, some residents express concerns about traffic congestion and rising rent prices, which can make commuting challenging. Overall, the city's amenities and access to nature are major draws for those living here.
Riverside's 2025 rental market shows one-bedroom apartments averaging around $1,800 per month, while two-bedroom units average around $2,300 monthly. Both apartment sizes have remained relatively stable with slight declines from the previous year.
June offers the lowest rental prices in Riverside, while December sees the highest rents with approximately a 3.2% difference between peak and off-peak months. March and July are the most competitive months with higher demand, while December has lower overall demand making it less competitive.
Arlington, La Sierra South, Arlington South, and La Sierra stand out for social connectivity with high walk scores and well-developed infrastructure. University, Grand, and Eastside generate the highest consumer interest, with Grand drawing over twice the market average interest at around $2,500 monthly for one-bedroom apartments.
University offers the most affordable option with median rent around $1,850, followed by Eastside at around $1,890 monthly. Arlington provides another budget-friendly choice with median rent around $2,110, giving renters several neighborhoods below the city's overall average.
Riverside accommodates pet owners well, with 32% of rental listings offering pet-friendly policies. Orangecrest, Hawarden Hills, Arlington South, and Victoria specifically cater to pet owners with no breed restrictions, dedicated outdoor space, and specialized amenities like pet waste stations and regular pet events.
Utilities are rarely included in Riverside rental prices, appearing in less than 0.1% of available listings across all apartment sizes. One-bedroom apartments have the highest rate of utility inclusion at 0.07% of listings, while other bedroom types show even lower percentages.
Riverside's rental market features predominantly mid-20th century architecture, with Contemporary style leading at 35.5% of properties. Ranch-style homes account for 14.5% and Modern architecture represents 13.2%, reflecting the city's development during the post-war housing boom when functionality and comfort were emphasized.
