Riverside North Homes for Rent

Riverside North in Lima features a mix of early-20th century homes, including ranch-style, Dutch Colonial, Foursquare, and bungalows, primarily built between the 1910s and 1930s, with some from the 1940s-1950s. While many homes present investment opportunities due to their need for renovation, others have been updated with new roofs and floors as recently as the early 2020s. Faurot Park, a significant local feature, offers a splash pad, baseball and volleyball facilities, playgrounds, and a skate park. It connects to Collett Street Park, providing additional recreational space. The YMCA on the neighborhood's eastern edge offers swim meets and gymnastics classes, engaging the community in various activities. Retail conveniences, such as Ruler Foods supermarket, are within a few blocks, and downtown Lima, just north of the neighborhood, offers dining options like Old City Prime, known for steak and seafood dinners accompanied by live jazz and blues music, and The Social House, a trendy spot for cocktails and meals al fresco. Riverside North is within a mile of downtown, Kindred Hospital, and the Lima Refinery, with Allen County RTA buses providing additional transportation options. While the local schools, including Heritage Elementary, Lima North Middle School, Lima West Middle School, and Lima Senior High School, receive average ratings, the high school is noted for its robust musical programs, which inspired the hit television series “Glee.” This neighborhood offers a blend of historical charm and modern conveniences, making it a unique area within Lima.
