Discover Riverside Avondale

Riverside and Avondale next-door established fifty years apart and both with different vibes, gradually coalesced into one great neighborhood. Riverside is the older, artsy cousin with its famous Memorial Park, Cummer Museum, Arts District, uniquely local dining, hip 5 Points commercial district and Riverside Arts Market. Avondale, the younger cousin is smaller, more residential in nature but offers a more establishment-style commercial district and several destination restaurants. Combined they offer history, architectural gems, eclectic business districts, arts & culture, and public spaces people travel to feel and see.
