Living in Riverside offers residents a sparse suburban feel without being too far from the city. It is filled with tree lined curved streets, historic homes and distinctive architecture. Riverside was one of the first planned communities (est. 1869) and has several defining features including curvilinear streets, ample setbacks and pastoral parkways with open lawn and naturalistic groupings of trees throughout the village.

Water utility bills are distributed on the first day of every other month and due on the 20th of the month. Setting up an utility account in a new resident’s name is accomplished automatically after the closing on a property. The seller must supply the new owner’s name for the account. Once a final water read has been made, the utility account is transferred into the new owner’s name. If a utility bill is in a renter’s name, the landlord or renter should arrange for a final water read and notify the Village of a change by phoning the Finance Department at 708-447-2700, ext. 231.
