Celebrating in Riverside
Where Riverside hosts use lighting
Riverside was laid out in 1869 by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, and its curving streets, gas-lit corners and green commons make it one of the most distinctive suburbs in the region. The Riverside Landscape Architecture District is a National Historic Landmark, and the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Coonley House stands here. Events feel naturally garden-like. Walking the curving streets feels like entering a park, and many hosts want rentals that look quietly elegant instead of loud.
