Riverside is a connected neighborhood with popular dining and parks
Tucked along the Miami River between Brickell and Downtown Miami, Riverside blends big-city energy with the colorful vibe that spills over from neighboring Little Havana. Festivals and Cuban restaurants along Calle Ocho keep the southern edge of the neighborhood buzzing, while riverfront condos and a handful of Spanish-style cottages give buyers a range of ways to settle in. Several parks around the area offer ways to get outside, and families have access to public schools and a nearby International Baccalaureate magnet. With Interstate 95 nearby and local routes throughout the community, Riverside stays connected to Greater Miami.
The history of the neighborhood history can be found on a plaque outside of Jose Marti Park.
Riverside is mostly composed of condos, with some smaller multi-family homes as well.
