Riverside, Indianapolis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Riverside is an economically depressed neighborhood on the near westside of Indianapolis. The neighborhood consists mainly of American foursquare type homes and bungalows built in the 1910s-1920s. Riverside is so-called such because it is situated next to the White River.
Its boundaries are 30th Street on the north, and 16th Street to the south, Martin Luther King Jr. Street on the east, and the White River on the west. Many of the neighborhood's focus areas are situated along Harding street.
Historically, Riverside has fallen victim to severe urban decay, white flight, and crime. As a result, attempts to revitalize the Riverside neighborhood have become commonplace in recent years. The Riverside neighborhood is a member of the "Weed and Seed" Organization, an organization that targets deprived areas in Indianapolis to assist crime reduction.[1]
