Take me to Riverside

Wood Streets is a lush and idyllic neighborhood just outside downtown Riverside. It serves as a comforting homebase for residents who work downtown or from home and is popular for its friendly community. Orange groves were the area's focus until residential development occurred in 1913, and today, the neighborhood is focused on its relaxing and convenient environment. The neighborhood's name is a result of one of the original subdividers, named Wood, using his own name as a suffix in several street names.
