Riverside Homes for Sale and Neighborhood Information Looking for Bank Owned, REO or Forsclosures ? This is your Riverside Homes Real Estate Resource. 

Founded in 1870 by John North and a group of Easterners who wished to establish a colony dedicated to furthering education and culture, Riverside was built on land that was once a Spanish rancho. Investors from England and Canada transplanted traditions and activities adopted by prosperous citizens: the first golf course and polo field in Southern California were built in Riverside .

  The first orange trees were planted in 1871, but the citrus industry in Riverside began two years later when Eliza Tibbets received two Brazilian navel orange trees sent to her by a friend at the Department of Agriculture in Washington . The trees thrived in the Southern California climate and the navel orange industry grew rapidly.

  Riverside is fortunate to have a wealth of sites and buildings that provide a link to the city's past and a strong sense of place. This is the result of the hard work and careful planning of the city's Historic Preservation Program. Created by the City Council in 1969, it identifies and advances the preservation of Riverside 's historic neighborhoods, and civic and commercial resources.

  Examples include the Mission Inn, the Chinatown site, the National Packing House, Citrus Experiment Station and engineering feats like the Gage Canal . Many of these landmarks are found in the Downtown's Mission Inn Historic District. California 's Mission Revival style, born in Riverside , can be seen throughout the City, most notably in the Mission Inn, the Municipal Auditorium, First Church of Christ Scientist, and the Fox Theater, home of the Riverside Film Festival.

  Riverside close to all of Southern California , A great Place to own a Home and an even better place to raise a family. Come enjoy Riverside and all it and the surrounding area’s have to offer.
