North Riverdale

North Riverdale tucked just north of Downtown Dayton and perched above the charming Riverdale neighborhood, Upper Riverdale blends suburban peace with city convenience. Picture quiet, tree-lined streets filled with classic Cape Cod–style homes, all just minutes from the buzz of downtown life.

This cozy area is made up of two close-knit communities—Redcrest and Upper Riverdale—each with plenty of neighborhood pride. Redcrest even has its own neighborhood association that keeps things lively and connected, from community projects to cheerful meetups at the Redcrest Community Garden, where residents come together for the much-loved annual garden parties every summer.

Living here means you’re never far from good food and green escapes. The nearby North Main Street corridor offers tasty local eats, while Triangle Park and the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery provide plenty of room (and reason!) to get outside and explore.
