I lived in North Riverdale (at my parents’ house) from August of last year until July of this year. The good thing about living in that neighborhood was that it’s really quiet. 

I work in the Flatiron District where it’s always loud, busy and dirty, and getting back to Riverdale at night felt calm and peaceful. It’s a peacefulness you don’t get in the city.

Of course there was no nightlife to speak of. And in the city, if you come home from work at 9 and you want something to eat, you have so many options. In Riverdale things close early.
