About Riverside
Riverside — county seat with historic downtown, ucr, and the iconic mission inn.
Riverside is the county seat and one of the largest cities in the Inland Empire, with approximately 318,000 residents. Birthplace of California's citrus industry, the city today blends a walkable historic downtown anchored by the Mission Inn with the academic and research engine of UC Riverside, mature tree-lined neighborhoods like Wood Streets and Victoria Avenue, and newer master-planned communities on the city's eastern and northern edges. Architectural range — from preserved Craftsman bungalows to mid-century ranches to modern construction — is wider here than almost anywhere else in the region.
