Riverside

Cook County is known for affluence in general, but Riverside has a special kind of affluence that is significant even in an upscale county like Cook. Anchored in the Riverside Landscape Architecture District, an official National Historic Landmark, Riverside somehow maintains its exclusivity while only two miles outside of the city limits of Chicago proper. The District 96 public school system that services Riverside is especially well known for its many top quality public school choices for K-12 students. The community is served by the Hollywood and Harlem Avenue stations of the BNSF Railway Line for a speedy entrance to Chicago proper any time this becomes necessary. Residential properties range from Baby Boomer World War II chic to upscale, refurbished milltown.
