Where Riverside hosts use heating & cooling
The Des Plaines River winds along the village's edge, and the Riverside Water Tower and Swan Pond are well-known sights. BNSF Metra service at Riverside station puts downtown within a short ride. Because streets curve and lots vary, planning delivery routes and parking takes more thought than on a grid. Parking along the narrow, tree-covered streets near the commons is limited, so guests often walk from the station or park a few blocks away.
