What Renters Like and Dislike About Riverdale

Transportation walking distance close to express ways shopping center local police patrol no bars in the neighborhood very limited restaurant

Where I like going with my family is six flags amusement parks, restaurants, movies, and that's really it.

I love that I have a school. I love that I have more clothes. Also I love my family that is there with me.

It's close to nearby dollar stores in case i want to get snacks to munch on. Im by a hair store walking distance.
