Riverside, CA Apartments for Rent

An abundance of lush trees and rolling hills fill the city as mountains sit beautifully in the background. Riverside, with 81.4 square miles of space and a population of more than 300,000, is the 12th most populous city in California. Riverside is named for its location beside the Santa Ana River, and the hills that flow throughout the city include Mount Rubidoux, a city landmark and tourist attraction.

Riverside was founded in the early 1870s. A few years after the city’s founding, the first navel orange was planted and from there, it flourished and planting on a larger scale begun. With four saloons in Riverside at its conception, they were forced out through the rise in license fees and shortly after, more prosperous activities were brought to the area by investors from England and Canada, thus the first golf and polo fields in Southern California were built.

The citrus industry was established and by 1882 there were more than half a million citrus trees in the state of California, half of which were in Riverside. BY 1895, with the development of the refrigerated railroad cars and innovative irrigation systems, Riverside was the richest city per capita in the U.S. The city has continued to prosper and has since developed the Mission Inn which has attracted many royalty, presidents, and celebrities. Riverside is the “City of Arts and Innovation,” a choice place for vacationers, and still holds history that was influenced by its European settlers.
