Why Live in Riverside

Riverside, located just 2 miles from downtown Wilmington, is a neighborhood undergoing significant revitalization. This waterside community features a mix of subsidized apartments and Victorian-style townhomes, many of which have been renovated to include modern interiors and appliances. The area is characterized by rowhomes with bay windows and narrow walkways, particularly on 22nd Street and Vandever Avenue. Recent redevelopment efforts, such as the $50 million investment by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, have led to new projects like Imani Village, a mixed-income rental community. Riverside students attend schools in the Colonial School District, with William Penn High School offering a dual enrollment program in partnership with local universities. The Kingswood Community Center, a longstanding neighborhood fixture, provides essential services including free food, childcare, and educational programs. Riverside residents enjoy local amenities such as the River Walk Park in downtown Wilmington, which features a waterfront walking trail and dining options along the Christiana River. Popular spots include Big Fish Grill and Constitution Yards beer garden. While the neighborhood lacks a grocery store, residents rely on the Quick Food Mart and nearby shopping options like Merchants Square and Dollar Tree. The DART transit system connects Riverside to the rest of Delaware and nearby cities, though most residents prefer to drive. Major highways such as US Route 13 and Interstate 495 provide access to key locations, though the proximity to the Edgemoor railyard and Wilmington’s asphalt plant can result in occasional noise.
