College town charm
Located in the northeastern corner of Riverside, California, the University neighborhood got its start from a public land grant developed for agricultural research by the University of California. It’s original purpose—experimental citrus research, which can still be felt thanks to the area’s lush vegetation and natural beauty—soon expanded enough to include a full curriculum and became the pride of the community: University of California-Riverside. “The area is really exploding in popularity,” says Karen Cheng, real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway California Properties and longtime resident of the area. “It’s growing rapidly, but it still has its personality.” Now a bustling neighborhood with a college-town feel, the area offers residents shopping, entertainment, and access to larger cities nearby, University is an appealing option for more than just students.
