Historic Riverside Homes

Riverside’s largest growth period was between 1900 and 1910, so our neighborhood and it’s homes are teeming with history.

Historic Overlay Zone

City Council approved a Historic Overlay Zone for the Riverside Neighborhood on November 19, 2008.  A Historic Overlay Zone is a defined area in which special design guidelines and standards apply to preserve the historic character of buildings and the neighborhood.  New developments and new additions to existing buildings in the overlay will be reviewed for compliance with the guidelines and standards. 

The Riverside Historic Overlay will include Virginia and Baker Avenues from Everett Avenue to 19th Street; and the south side of 19th Street, Victor Place, Leonard Drive, and the north side of 21st Street from Baker Avenue to Walnut Street.
