Riverdale Overview

Considered a part of the larger Atlanta metro area, Riverdale is an excellent locale in the proud state of Georgia. Located just a stone's throw from the Atlanta Airport and home to a wide range of on-the-go lifestyles, Riverdale apartments are an ideal option for anyone considering a move to the Peach State.

What is the history of Riverdale?

Boasting a total area of about 4.5 miles, Riverdale was settled prior to the Civil War, and quickly established itself as both a farming village and a stop along the Atlanta / Fort Valley Railroad. A number of schools were added to the area over the years, and today Riverdale acts as both a bedroom community for greater Atlanta as well as a charming retail destination.

How is the weather in Riverdale?

Georgia is known for its hot and extended summers, and Riverdale is no exception. Granted, this often yields mild winters, with snoe in short supply, and both spring and fall are generally pleasant and feature crisp, cool evenings.

How do I get around town?

The MARTA System covers a pair of bus routes throughout the city proper, and as stated a number of Riverdale apartments are located just a few miles south of the bustling Atlanta Airport, where a wide array of domestic and international flights take leave every day. Most living in the city claim ownership of at least one personal automobile, and ride sharing is encouraged in the city. 

What is the Riverdale commute like?

Considered a part of the larger Atlanta Metro region, those commuting to the capital from apartments in Riverdale can expect a quicker ride than many, although the way is still often plagued by road construction and occasional fender benders. State Route 85 and 138 are both highly used, and throughout the city proper the major travel points include Gardenwalk Blvd and Lamar Hutcheson Parkway. 

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Clayton News Daily' is a widely read print option in the city, although a number of newspapers from the Atlanta area cater to those living in Riverdale rentals as well. Radio is diverse, including genres such as classic rock, jazz, modern country and sporting news talk, with boradcasting similarly widespread thanks to a number of affiliates in the Atlanta region. 

Why live in Riverdale, GA?

Ideal for both young working-class professional and growing families alike, Riverdale apartments offer the convenience of an ideal distance from the state capital, while still maintaining a distinct spirit all its own. From retail options to an easy commute to a thriving job market, this is one Georgia hot spot that is truly tough to beat. 

What Riverdale landmarks should I see?

Riverdale City Hall features a truly unique and modern architectural flair, while the Riverdale Town Center shopping center caters to a diverse assortment of cultures and cuisine items. Banks Park is a stone's throw from city hall as well, and is a popular spot for walking the dog or enjoying a picnic. The Hindu Temple of Atlanta is also close by, and features some jaw-dropping design.

What is there to do around Riverdale?

Spend an afternoon aiming for that bowling strike at the Painted Pin, or immerse yourself in soda history with a visit to the World Of Coca-Cola Museum. Jerk Palace is more inviting than it sounds, offering an assortment of carribean culinary delights, and BF's Lounge is an excellent late night spot for those looking to enjoy some quiet conversation and a some specialty cocktails.

Any annual festivals or Riverdale events to know?

The Evening Under The Stars Festival takes place most summers in Riverdale, featuring outdoor blues musicians and plenty of good cheer, while the widely popular Riverdale Seafood and Music Fest caters to a pair of the south's favorite things. Atlanta proper boasts a large number of huge festivals as well, including the Shakey Knees Music Festival. 

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit the road and explore all that the state of Georgia has to offer, from antique shopping to numerous camping destinations, or head north to the liver music excitement of Tennessee. Of course, the coastline of South Carolina is never far away, and even Florida's southern charm is accessible for true road trip enthusiasts.
