Living in Riverside

The City of Riverside has approximately 26,000 residents. Riverside has one of the lowest income tax rates in the area at 1.5%, excellent government services, and a strong labor pool.

Riverside is located next door to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). Twenty-four thousand military and civilian employees work at the Base, making it the largest single-site employer in the State of Ohio. High-level research in avionics, composite materials, and aircraft design takes place at the Base. Several area firms have successfully "spun off" private-sector applications that were first developed at the Base for military use.  The city’s vision is to provide a highly dynamic business, industry, and retail environment.

The City of Riverside is serviced by the Mad River Local School District, a fact of which we are justifiably proud of.  The District is comprised of four elementary, two middle schools, and one high school; all of which are brand new, state-of-the-art facilities. Mad River offers an outstanding pre-school program and Special Education curriculum designed to meet the needs of students with disabilities. The District makes concerted efforts to accommodate the children of military personnel through the offering of special programs and dedicated counseling services.

The Greater Dayton region also boasts many large corporate and industrial employers. These include Delphi Automotive, General Motors, NCR Corp, Reynolds + Reynolds, Lexis-Nexis and Daimler Chrysler.

Riverside offers easy access to local, state and national transportation networks. Several highways intersect close by.  These include I-70 (east/west); I-75 (north/south); I-675 (interbelt); US 35 (east/west); SR 4 (north/south). Conveniently located entrances to those major transportation routes provide speedy transfer of goods and services to market.

Riverside offers an excellent environment for families, with quality national amenities and attractions within short distance.
