Riverside offers quiet streets near downtown Provo and the mountains

Located along University Avenue, Riverside appeals to families with a suburban lifestyle who want to live within equal proximity of the mountains and prominent Provo amenities. “People who live in Riverside like living near all the popular areas without having to pay higher prices for a more rural, mountainous home or commit to an urban lifestyle near Downtown Provo,” says Emerie Brooks of Summit Realty Inc. An upscale suburban community with equal distance to the mountains, local country club and popular Provo destinations, families enjoy Riverside’s convenient location and quiet lifestyle.

Architecture varies from bungalows to custom-built mansions

Houses start at $450,000 and cap near $3 million, with well-maintained bungalows, contemporary craftsmen and multi-million-dollar mansions among the inventory. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms span 3,300 square feet and sit on quarter-acre lots. Fenced-in backyards may include sheds, but neighbors prioritize most yard space for manicured lawns; rock gardens, shrubs and lower water plantings join mature trees out front. Some single-family homes belong to homeowners associations, which may include private parks, but for the most part, subdivision sidewalks will only lead you and your dog on a walk. Custom-built mansions include up to seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms across 7,000 square feet. Alpine trees provide privacy around these luxury homes, which include private decks to take in the scenery, pools to cool off during summer, and large garages to store outdoor toys.

Outdoor fun from Riverview Park to Riverside Country Club

When you’re not embarking on a hike, bike ride or fishing trip in Provo Canyon, Riverview Park is the most popular public option for convenient outdoor recreation. A lazy river winds through the 16-acre park, where kids like to cool off after spending time on each of the two playgrounds. Tennis courts, a disc golf course and walking trails provide various options for people of all ages. Initially established in 1960, Riverside Country Club spans 42,000 square feet. The facility, which opened in 2012, is known for the 18-hole golf course which hosts PGA and LPGA tournaments. The 12,000-square-foot pro shop was also voted Retailer of the Year in its first year of operation. In addition to multiple dining rooms, you’ll also find a pool, sports facilities, and spa.

University Avenue has the hospital, shops and Provo Towne Center

Utah Valley Hospital is located beside BYU, on the opposite side of University Avenue. More than 4,400 babies are born at UVH yearly, where Newborn ICU physicians are prepped to provide advanced care to the youngest members of your family. Target, Macey’s Grocery, and the Provo Recreation Center are conveniently located beside the hospital. Continue along University Avenue and arrive at Provo Towne Center, home to 80 stores and restaurants. However, local options like Block Restaurant give you high-quality options on days when you want to stick closer to home. This farm-to-table restaurant serves brunch and dinner in a fine-dining atmosphere, with entrees like the House Made Potato Gnocchi as a favorite among customers.

Provo Towne Centre offers shopping and dining just minutes from Riverside.
