On the banks of the Maumee River, North End offers a little something for everyone: scenic beauty, proximity to downtown and plenty of retail. When traveling through this part of town, the backdrop of Toledo's historic industrial area breaks into scenic lakefront vistas. "The area is walkable, but you won't see too many people taking outdoor strolls," says Andrea Vallejo, circulation supervisor, who was raised in North End. "What you will see are kids at play, riding bikes, and shooting hoops." Gridded streets with sidewalks are shaded by mature maple trees. Chain-link fencing is common, although garages are not.
Northriver residents can enjoy Manhattan Marsh Preserve Metropark's walking trails for hours.
Craftsman bungalows in every style and color are common throughout Northriver.
