I would say crime rate in Riverside is down and most crimes are low on the scale of severity. I love the school systems and houses. They have a mix of many things to do like parks, swimming, rock climbing, trampoline parks. Someone visiting can defiantly find something to do.
I love the trampoline parks. I love the parks and outdoor just site seeing. I would say sometimes they do not have toilet paper in park restrooms and here and there homeless people with be there but most friendly. trampoline parks can get crowded.
